Lemon Jelly Beans Chalcedony and Citrine necklace and earrings by dkjewels.
"I was a bit apprehensive about doing a challenge entry for the 1st annual Etsy chicks Spring challenge. I had many ideas but none of then were things i wanted to enter. Then gem hounding i came across this sweet set of pineapple lemony chalcedony. And EUREKA! LEMON JELLY BEANS!"
I like jelly beans, and I tend not to share the lemon ones. I know you want to eat these. Sorry, they are not for eating, but you can get them for ears and your neck if you want. It's like a mini lemon meringue pie, and I like pie...
_________________________________________
Stay tuned for the prizes! Entrants and prizes will be assigned a number. Those numbers will be randomly selected using random.org, matched with their pairs, and prizes distributed. It's pretty simple, but if you have questions let me know.

Spring Chic scarf by Mousewife
It's still chilly out there! Heck, even if it's not chilly this would make a great chic statement around your neck. "This spring scarf is crocheted in a delicate butterfly stitch for a airy spring look."
"It measures 48" without the tassles, and features three 6" tassles at either end."
Mousewife became a chicks member in January, our first spinner of all things soft and fibery! Do you like plush yarnie goodness, yes you do!
Get the scarf for yourself, brighten up!

Chick-a-lites from Lilly Bug Boutique
These chicks are going to market! Cute little yellow chicks, a whole family of them ready for their close ups. Click on the photo to see Lilly Bugs blog and more things she is doing.
These are a far cry from those little pipe cleaner chicks I used to (attempt) make. I think mama still has them too. How about those hats! Keeps the April showers from messing with ones precisely placed feathers.
Best of luck to you chickies at the market!

Patchwork Spring Bird Collage Wall Hanging
Submitted by Katy at The Classic Farmhouse who admits to being a little "click happy sometimes" and "got sucked in" thru the links that are posted around the other blogs. Hey, click happy has its perks!
"This little bird flew in just in time for spring and would be the perfect cheerful accent for your walls."
"This 10" x 11.75" wall hanging began with a lonely vintage shelf that no longer had a home. After applying some hand painted elements, specialty papers were applied along with accents of a vintage button, raffia, old wire, vintage binding/ribbon and upholstery tacks. Even the back is finsihed with a softly patterned paper."
Want it? Yup, you can have it if noone else has beat you to it :)

I Heart Skulls Soap - Nag Champa Cocoa Butter and Glycerin by NemesisProductions
Meet Lori, the spooky grrrl what makes soap. She has a spooky entry for those of you what love skulls and hearts. It's like spooky whimsy, or something like that.
She found us chicks "the usual way" "by being nosy and poking through other people's blogs."
"I like spooky things, and am a sucker for cute things, so I decided to combine the two. I've been accused of being spooky cute on a large number of occasions and I'm totally okay with that. I figured that few could resist the cute little skull embedded in the pretty heart."
Get one for your dirty, yet spooky, self!

Happy Spring Chick-a-Dee Plate by Magic Markings Art
"This happy spring chick sushi plate was hand drawn and hand painted with thoughts of daffadils, tiptoeing through tulips, and adorable chicks dancing in the sun."
"After joining the Etsy community in January, I spent countless hours on the computer trying to learn as much as I could about the site. I followed link upon link, often circling back to where I started. Somewhere along my link line, I came across Awesome Chicks and, due to the great information they offered, bookmarked, and follow their blog."
If you need a little platter for your sushi, or just like a festive plate, check out her shop! They would make great gifts!

Sakura Mist Bracelet
Joyce has been a member since January 13th and can be found in the chatrooms on Etsy regularly. She hails from DC and has an entry that is inspired by the springtime in her neck of the woods.
"This is a DC Spring inspired bracelet. In DC, there's a Cherry Blossom Festival in the spring. You can take walks and bike on trails with hundreds of cherry blossom trees, filled with soft pink petals. Forget fresh leaves and sprouts, pink is the color for spring around here!"

"Polka Dots" Ring is a highly unusual design. It took us about 5 times of trials and errors before we can make this design practical for the settings and get the proportion right for ultimate beauty. This one is our original version design.
