Holiday Finds For Dad

From now through the holidays, we here at the NCTriangle Street Team would like to make your holiday shopping a little bit easier. Why drive all the way to the mall and fight the crowds when you can simply relax at your keyboard and let your fingers do the shopping? Over the next couple months we'll bring you some targeted holiday finds from the NCTriangle Street Team. Keep in mind that these are just a snapshot of the many incredible items that the NCTriangle Street Team has. Please feel free to search for more on Etsy, using our tag "nctriangle team."

Today's Holiday Finds are gifts for Dad! Dad can always be a little difficult to shop for, so we thought we'd help you out with these great items.

From karensoaps we have some Crackling Campfire Soap!

There is nothing she loves more than sitting by a nice warm campfire on a cool summer night!

This 4oz soap is made with a gentle vegetable based glycerin soap base. It is scented with a Crackling Campfire fragrance oil, and tinted with a brown sparkle dye. It smells like a mixture of wood and smoke. It would make a great gift for an outdoorsy dad.


Next we have a Quilted Eyeglass or Sunglass Case from megrnc.

No need for your boring, standard eyeglass case from the optometrist.

This one-of-a-kind eyeglass case is made from 100% medium weight cotton fabric that has been pre-washed and dried. The outer fabric is from Amy Butler's Belle Line and it is lined with a matching 1930's reproduction green fabric with white and orange flowers. The top border is solid green.

Because the fabric has been pre-washed and dried, this can be cleaned in your washing machine.

MEASUREMENTS:
6 1/2 inches long
3 3/4 inches wide

FEATURES:
*Machine quilted in green thread, in a random pattern

*All inside raw edges are overcasted to prevent unraveling

OPTIONAL FEATURES:
I will be happy to add a velcro enclosure for an additional $2.

If the fabric isn't manly enough for you, contact megrnc and she'd be happy to work with you.


From jclange we have a unique Custom Photo Collage - Kids.

This listing is for a personalized work of art using a photograph that you supply.

The canvas shown here is an example of her work.

She will use your photo to create a custom-made collage on 1 1/2" thick, finished-edge canvas that will be a one-of-a-kind piece of art and a keepsake ready to hang on your wall.

These unique portraits are a fun variation on traditional family photos and look terrific in any room. They also make a thoughtful gift for grandparents, family members and friends.


Does the dad you are shopping for like photography and appreciate a bit of humor? Here we have a "Brain Repair" photograph from photobox.

This is a 5x7 archive-quality photograph, professionally printed in matte finish with a white border for framing. If you would prefer the image be printed without a border, just let her know during checkout. Copyright will not appear on the image you receive.

This piece comes unframed.

Photobox has many great photos in her shop. If this isn't exactly what you are looking for, take a moment to check out her shop.


And finally, for the sushi-loving dad, we have a set of four vintage Solid Wood Mini Wasabi Bowls from tripletrouble.

These little vintage bowls are the cutest things. They are the perfect size for serving wasabi!

They are miniature bowls measuring approx. 3" in diameter.

With the holidays upon us, she'd be happy to send these to you wrapped with ribbon in a sweet clear cello pouch with a small blank holiday tag. Please request in a comment to buyer at the time of purchase.


Once again, keep in mind that these are just a snapshot of the many incredible items that the NCTriangle Street Team has. Please feel free to search for more on Etsy, using our tag "nctriangle team." Thanks for shopping with the NCTriangle Street Team!

Holiday Finds For Mom

From now through the holidays, we here at the NCTriangle Street Team would like to make your holiday shopping a little bit easier. Why drive all the way to the mall and fight the crowds when you can simply relax at your keyboard and let your fingers do the shopping? Over the next few months we'll bring you some targeted holiday finds from the NCTriangle Street Team. Keep in mind that these are just a snapshot of the many incredible items that the NCTriangle Street Team has. Please feel free to search for more on Etsy, using our tag "nctriangle team."

Today's finds are unique handmade goods that could strike mom's fancy. You know that mom will be putting her heart and soul into looking for great gifts for you, so take a look at what we have for her.

From CarolinaPatchworks, we have a gorgeous quilt.

This colorful quilt glows with a cheerful fall vibe. Rich jewel tone prints in red, turquoise, brown, yellow, and green from Tula Pink's Nest collection form a rich rainbow of colors swirled and mixed together in a flock of whirlpools making up this eclectic quilt.

Binding is a coordinating red and brown perched bird vine print. Backed in turquoise stray feathers print with a strip of patches down the middle. Quilted in a dense freehand circular pattern.

Some features include:
- Approximately 44 inches (112 cm) square.
- Made from 100% cotton fabric, batting and thread.
- Machine wash cold and tumble dry low.
- Pieced and quilted by machine in smoke-free and pet-free home.


For the coffee-drinking mom, Jenngee has fantastic coffee corsets like this one.

Those disposable paper cuffs just won't do! A fabric coffee cuff is an Earth-friendly and stylish way to keep your digits protected from the heat. It fits all standard paper cups offered by your favorite coffee hangout and can be reused over and over again. Just fold it up when you are done and pop it in your purse or pocket and it is ready for your next caffeinated treat. It can be used for cold beverages as well. A great gift idea!

This particular cuff is executed in a 100% cotton fabric inside and out - a collection of white flowers on a red background. It is layered with 100% cotton batting and free-motion machine quilted using red thread. Finally, the cuff is finished with my signature corset-style lacing using hand-hammered eyelets and a white ribbon. Everything is finished off with a red button with a very interesting texture. The corset is completed with *no raw edges* for a very neat appearance and all ribbon is treated to prevent fraying.


JazzTurtle has this colorful bundle of handspun yarn called Chocolate Rainbows.

She creates unique handspun yarn and fiber batts. There are 139 yards of this piece.

She spun this yarn slightly thick and thin with a low twist.. so it's really soft and fluffy..

Yummy chocolate merino, with lots of rainbow colors and sparkles.. and lots of different fibers.. there's bamboo and silk and firestar and angelina.. even some curls of locks here and there! She just loves how this yarn turned out!!

She can spin up more of this if you'd like more yardage

Wraps per inch: 8-10
Recommended needles: 11 or higher
Recommended hook: M or higher


VintageScraps has a unique journal made just for moms.

She says,"When my teenagers were little, people would always say "These years go by so fast!" And yes, they were right, they did fly by. BUT, so often the DAYS and NIGHTS would last FOREVER....!
So this journal is for moms; 3 sections in which to journal: when you are frustrated, when you are thankful, when you are overwhelmed, and then a Bible verse for each to help keep you going. Collaged and sectioned off with antique graphics, the inside is hand stamped and wall papered with original 1940's children's text. It's hard being a mom, but hang in there- you can do it!"

Finally, if you think mom would love some jewelery, riskybeads has this fabulous piece called Exotic Anchor.

This 40mm howlite turquoise donut is strung with 18" (46 cm) of dark brown and gold organza ribbon and accented with a carved and painted aqua brass barrel bead. Ribbons finish with antique brass ribbon and lobster clasps. If you need an extender chain, please let me know in notes to seller and indicate the length you need it to be.

In addition to being a wonderful addition to anyone's jewelry box, this type of pendant is the PERFECT nursing necklace for a new mom because it's the perfect shape and size for baby to hold onto while nursing. The stone helps baby stay focused while feeding and is smooth and cold to the touch. Makes a great baby shower gift!

Jewelry comes packaged on her signature Risky Beads card stock with its baggage and sealed in a poly bag. Need it Risky Wrapped? Let her know. Risky Beads is at your service!
