Amore Valkyrie - One Year Anniversary

Amore Valkyrie officially opened doors on April 12, 2010 - AV will be one year old in a few short days!  Since that time, this tiny project has grown substantially - I just wanted to say thank you all the wonderful support AV has received over the past year. 

This year, Amore Valkyrie has been featured at:

• Everything Etsy, who hosted a wonderful giveaway, and delved into an in depth review of the 2010 Amore Valkyrie pieces.  180 entries - not bad for a first go around!
• The Budget Fashionista, who chose for their Etsy Find section the Amore Valkyrie gold feather pendant.  Amore Valkyrie now has real feather pendants - check out this brand new cruelty-free red tipped Lady Amherst pheasant tail necklace: FJOTHR.
• Etsy Front Page has featured Amore Valkyrie twice! The RIVKE blue iolite pendant
  was featured in GreeteH's Love May Be Blue, Too treasury.  The deliciously delicate LOTUS tiny garnet drop earrings were also featured, as part of Lavandulasart's Valentine's Day treasury.
• Etsy Finds daily shopping guide handpicked the KOHLFORSTA geode pendant to be part of its March 29, 2011 "Sticks and Stones" newsletter.  That was a blast!
• 275 Etsians Treasuries and counting!  Thank you to everyone who peeked at Amore Valkyrie pieces, and found places for them in their curated collections!
