{Sponsor Highlight: Blue Balloon}

Hello again, all! I'm here to recognize Blue Balloon, a lovely Seablanket blog sponsor. Miss Marie of The Blue Balloon has an incredible Etsy shop, full of dainty little jewelry treasures, photographs and handmade note cards. I'm a huge fan of her work, and you will be too! I asked Marie to tell all the readers of SB a little bit about herself and here's what she had to say:

My name is Marie, and i live in an awesome neighborhood in Milwaukee called Bay View. We're right on Lake Michigan, and the lake is one of my muses. My newest and most favorite muse is my son- i am a new mama and had my baby boy on new years day (though he was really due around christmas eve)!!

I stay at home with him and sneak in time for photography and etsy while he's napping or after he's in bed for the night. My shop started out as a place for photos, but soon i found myself making little stationery sets thanks to some supplies from my mother in law, and then resin pendants using my own photos. Then I discovered the vast world of charms, findings, lockets, ect and began making all sorts of trinkets. My favorite pieces to make are the lockets in which a tiny photo of my own is the focal point- I know they are unique and they have been a favorite with customers. I listed my first item a week after my last day of work last October and have been going strong since. I can't stop, I just love etsy and can't remember life before it! Between balancing my new life as a mother and my crafts, I am a very busy bee.

Thank you so much Marie for your support! Please view more from The Blue Balloon here!
