Etsy Finds- Honeybees

So I decided to feature some shops who have at least one item that has to do with honeybees. Why honeybees you ask? Well quite simply that is the meaning of my name Melissa. The name Melissa stretches back to Greek mythology where the nymph Melissa cared for the baby Zeus by feeding him honey. I find that rather funny as these days we know not to feed babies honey. It can cause botulism in infants under 1 years old. Anyway here some great finds!


Project Transaction is an Oakland California based company. The deal in leather making and screen-printing. They use eco-friendly biodegradable cleaners. They specialize in custom work.

CookECuts based out of Alexandria VA featured hand-cut fine paper artworks by Sarah Cooke Little. She is a full time artist, military spouse, mother of 3 and an obvious Princess Bride fan! Her works are simply beautiful.

Roby Baer works in pastels to create works of art that are so realistic they look like photographs. Based out of Redding CA, Roby is a self-taught artist! Great artistic ability runs in her family as both her mother and her grandma Marty were full of talent themselves. Roby sold her first painting when she was in high school!
