Birds of a Feather

So doing the whee hours of sleep I received an email in our yahoo box. Normally this is something I would keep for "Where's Blu Sparrow" Wednesdays but its tooooo exciting. We have been trolling around on Etsy (and by troll I mean playfully existing) for about 2 weeks and we have made it in the gift guide!
What was awesome was that our bird of a feather sophiehillartist who is all the way on the other side of the world from us. Which means that people love us long time :D
So here are 7 awesome facts about our fine feathered friend:

1. Her would cuts are awesome. From rabbits to birds to feathers and back again she holds her own in any woodshop and any jewelry collection!
2. Okay first thought when you see those awesome black bird rings are "Awwww, I just might poke my eye out with that awesomeness." Truth be told your heart will soar when you get it so why not say screw your eyes and buy it.
3. The fabric rings and anything fabric if you ask me are apart of an old trend made new again so if you aren't rocking anything fabric DO IT...of course buy it from her I mean.
4. Yes yes I know everyone on etsy makes "hair sliders" or as I call them bobby pins but why not have some that look amazing and trendy??? Her's do!
5. Her Brooches come in fabric and in wood cut form which makes the selection even better and even more easier to search by for that special someone.
6. I LOVE THE BIRD EARRINGS....lol I bet you can guess why
7. She complete supports us like a good Etsy family should do. Even though we are not related by blood(at least I think not) we are still flying strong together.

Here are a few screen shots and other goodies for you everyone today:
For our fine feathered friend my favorite piece:

Getting a bit DICEY!!!! (introducing the 4 pack)

We sold our first ETSY order of Sparrow's Eggs yesterday and by the sheer grace of location we were able to just deliver the young lady her batch of eggs personally. Needless to say she loved them!!!!
We have been talking for a while about how amazing our Sparrow's Eggs are and now its finally in the form of a feedback! Which means its less us telling you how awesome they are and more non-connected people telling you exactly how amazing they really are.
The quote:
"These we sooo good! AND HUGE! Each one was at least two bites. I definitely want more. :D"
Awesome!!!!! So if you have ever wanted to try our Sparrow's Eggs now is the time with this new listing!!!!

Where's Blu Sparrow?

Have you seen us on the web somewhere? Maybe you stroll by the Etsy chat room and you see our little blue sparrow avatar or you have seen us get rushed and pushed by the first page? A forum comment on Etsy or maybe you have received a Myspace request from us but whatever it is have you seen us?
We have gone fully functional on all of our sites and I must say I am very proud of us. With our Myspace officially up and running and look very pretty thanks to VM we have been adding friends like crazy. So if we haven't added you yet you can add us. We are introducing a segment called "Where's Blu Sparrow"! Think of it like finding Waldo or Carmen Sandiego. At the end of this big spiel there will be links to our Myspace and our newly created Facebook and if by some chance we add you take a screen shot and send it to us or if you see us on the front page or in etsy chat take a screen shot and send it to us. Let us know where you have seen us on the web!

If it burns it must be good! Phoenix Good!

The theory used to be if it burned it was working. A few products come to mind Listerine, weight loss videos, and hair perms. Now all those things are yucky and dont stand for anything Blu Sparrow would be about. Lol, which is why our Phoenix Popcorn is our one thing that burns with spicy flavors from Mexico that even you will feel reborn again.
Phoenix popcorn is for those of you who think sweets are too sweets and milds are too bland. Also consider it for those who just want to have something with a bit more zing!
Its fiery good and its available for everyone today :)

Fashion Defined by Blu Sparrow

Between our real life jobs we try to find time to play around and have some fun on Saturday here at Blu Sparrow. So needless to say we play alot of video games and in this case Rock Band 2. We dress our characters up and sometimes things get a little crazy...well more on my end. Lol, with that being said today everyone gets to see fashion defined by the rock band versions of Blu Sparrow.
So the current style to represent would be 1920's flapper and mobster style.

A store on Etsy that we found represents this:

SarajaneHelm :
1920's Flapper Paper Doll
paperdollflapper

Why:
The paper doll set comes complete with every single style you can think of from the 1920's. She even has a pants suit and several matching hats. Whats not to love?

189 pages came up for 1920 in the etsy search and according to etsy that means I went through 3722 items. Needless to say there are a ton of shops on etsy who make things from the 1920/s. Give the search a try and see what you find! Or you can post a link to any item you know of and like from that time period into the comments of our blog!

A Very Blu Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone who reads our blog. Since its Saturday us here at Blu Sparrow are going to take the time to pick a sweet we saw on Etsy that we just simply loved and became jealous of. So I guess we should call this "Blu With Envy".


This weeks sweet comes from "asacco9642" on etsy. Our selection from their store is the Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies. I scrolled through about 6 pages on etsy before I hit these guys and just loved the way they look. So soft and the peanut butter just oozing out. Mmmm, simply amazing shot of the perfect moment. I myself am not a vegan but this looks good enough for even the most unhealthy omnivore. Which would be me :)
