<blockquote><p>I am more than happy to do custom sizes. I can make most of my designs fit any body! Just drop me a line. Please be certain of your size when you order, as I cannot accept any returns because it is custom work and for hygienic reasons&#8230;I&#8217;m sure you understand.</p>

<p>Isn&#8217;t that a wonderful idea for a gift &#8211; especially for a new bride?  You&#8217;d think that custom-made bras would be pricey, but the prices were very reasonable.  Items include panties, bras, and camisoles. Here are a few items that I would like to add to my wish list&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3574" src="http://www.splendicity.com/prettybynature/files/2009/11/Organic-Cotton-Sweetspire-Camisole-Michelle.jpg" alt="Organic Cotton Sweetspire Camisole Michelle" width="430" height="430" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/search_results_shop.php?search_query=organic&amp;search_type=user_shop_ttt_id_5298883&amp;order=&amp;page=1">Organic Cotton Sweetspire Camisole</a><br />
$35</p>
<p>This camisole looks so soft and comfy. It would be perfect for bedtime or layered beneath a sweater. It&#8217;s available in sizes extra small through extra large.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3575" src="http://www.splendicity.com/prettybynature/files/2009/11/Organic-Cotton-Summersweet-Bra-Michelle.jpg" alt="Organic Cotton Summersweet Bra Michelle" width="430" height="430" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=sr_list_20&amp;listing_id=30694374&amp;ga_search_query=organic&amp;ga_search_type=user_shop_ttt_id_5298883">Organic Cotton Summersweet Bra</a><br />
$33</p>
<p>I love the colors used here &#8211; sage and brown. This bra would probably work best if your figure was on the petite to average size as the bra does not have an underwire.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3576" src="http://www.splendicity.com/prettybynature/files/2009/11/Organic-Cotton-Lily-of-the-Valley-Panties-Michelle.jpg" alt="Organic Cotton Lily of the Valley Panties Michelle" width="430" height="430" /></p>

$21</p>
<p>These lace-trimmed panties can be paired with On the Inside&#8217;s Star Jasmine camisole. The Summersweet bra can also be made to match.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Etsy</strong> weekend shopping&#8230; The <strong>Ella Phante</strong> shop features custom-made, to your measurement, clothing. The clothing is available in both <strong>organic</strong> and non-organic materials. For your reading enjoyment, Natural Beauty, let&#8217;s focus on the organic section&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3529" src="http://www.splendicity.com/prettybynature/files/2009/11/Organic-shrug-ella-phante-Michelle.jpg" alt="Organic shrug ella phante Michelle" width="430" height="573" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26803422">Peasant-Sleeved Shrug </a><br />
$70</p>
<p>Do you dread leaving your favorite Summer favorites behind? How about extending the life of those sleeveless tops with this shrug made in an organic cotton/bamboo lycra jersey.  It features a 4-way stretch that grows softer with each and every wash. It&#8217;s shown here in a charcoal-gray and black. It also comes in an ivory and lavender, but the ad says you can chose &#8220;anything your heart desires,&#8221; so convo the seller for additional color choices?</p>
<p>I love the sleeves, the way they hang. It reminds me of playing dress-up as a kid. It appeals to my inner princess. I enjoy clothing that is fun, as well as useful. </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3530" src="http://www.splendicity.com/prettybynature/files/2009/11/Long-Sleeve-Hoodie-with-thumbholes-Michelle.jpg" alt="Long Sleeve Hoodie with thumbholes Michelle" width="430" height="573" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27542052">Long Sleeve Hoodie with Thumbholes</a><br />
$90</p>
<p>I forsee many comfy weekends spent in this adorable organic bamboo/cotton jersey hoodie. It&#8217;s shown here in a pink and raspberry stripe, but you can get it in a two-tone red, as well. Convo the seller for additional color choices. The hoodie has a &#8220;kanga&#8221; pocket and thumbholes at the end of the sleeves. The hood is &#8220;roomy&#8221; and the edges are serged off all around.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s designed with a waist-whittling secret &#8211; the hem is slightly longer at the ends, which gives the effect of a smaller waist.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3531" src="http://www.splendicity.com/prettybynature/files/2009/11/Mens-organic-tee-Michelle.jpg" alt="Mens organic tee Michelle" width="430" height="375" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25291963">Men&#8217;s Baseball Tee</a><br />
$75</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s something for your guy. How about treating him to a handmade, sized to his measurements, tee. It  features an &#8220;athletic cut and distressed details.&#8221;  It&#8217;s made with an organic cotton/bamboo jersey fabric. It&#8217;s shown in a white with dusty gray sleeves, but it&#8217;s available in &#8220;any color combo.&#8221; </p>
<p>The graphic is hand-drawn and you can skip it or use your own illustration idea for your tee.</p>

<p>I found some cute chokers in the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6239233">Leaf Lee shop</a>at Etsy.  My favorite is this one, the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29285379">Gold Mesopotamian Style Wire Wrapped Necklace</a>. The use of varying sizes of metallic beads draws your eye all over the necklace. It&#8217;s an interesting piece &#8211; on trend and very reasonably priced at $28.</p>

The<a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29285673"> Red Oriental Wire Wrapped Necklace</a> adds a burst of color at the neckline. It&#8217;s made of flexible wire with a mixture of beads &#8211; glass, plastic, and pearl. It&#8217;s a bold color choice for only $28.</p>

<p>Beekman 1802 is an <strong>artisanal soap</strong>, handmade, wrapped in brown paper, and then <strong>slipped into a cute little mill cloth drawstring bag</strong>. Each bar carries the Beekman stamp. They&#8217;d look lovely arranged in a nice bowl on your countertop, but resist that impulse and <strong>no matter how pretty, go ahead, use the soap</strong>. You can always order more.</p>

<p>I used the <a href="http://shop.beekman1802.com/product.sc?categoryId=8&amp;productId=1">Original goat&#8217;s milk</a> unscented,soap last night and this morning. I did my no-moisturizer skin test, so that I could accurately judge the way the product worked on my skin. <strong>I found it to leave my skin smooth, not dry, even though it&#8217;s a bar soap</strong>. My son has very sensitive skin and I was very impressed by the way his skin reacted.</p>
<p>In addition to soap, <strong>Beekman&#8217;s 1802 also makes products for baby, skin therapy products, stationary, and fine hand-woven linens. </strong></p>
