🎀 Get Link- ilash and ibrow bar 🎀
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you saw a photo online, or maybe you felt inspired by the season change. Whatever it is, our team is here to bring your vision to life. We are bringing our Get Linked Permanent Jewelry to the Book Faire this Spring!

🎀 Spirited Stampz 🎀
The inspiration behind Spirited Stampz began over 10 years ago when I resolved to make myself a ring with a semicolon on it. I purchased the minimum supplies needed to hand stamp a ring for myself, and immediately became inspired to make statement jewelry to encourage others. I have sold over 500 rings on Etsy, and my jewelry is also sold at Blake and Coe boutique in Ashland, VA. I make rings, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and the occasional keychain and bookmark. I love to make custom personalized pieces! I donate all of my profits to charities including local ministries and people in need. ~Rachel Barnes, “Spirited Stampz”

🤍 MEET THE OWNER 🤍

✨ Hi! I’m Bethany, and I am the Owner of The Feminine Urge and founder of the Book Faire 🤩

✨ A few things about me: I live in Ashland, VA with my husband, Eric, and our two pets. We both work in humanities and we love serving and living in Central Virginia. You can often find us at a farmers market, a book store, or a theme park!! I also love going to the movie theatre (Regal Unlimited has my heart) or a vendor fair and can always be found sporting a new canvas tote from essentially every event in the tristate area. I live for my friends and family and find my happiness in my community! Romance tends to be my go-to book genre, but I LIVE for a plot twist and will still read almost any fiction you put in front of me. Most importantly, I am beyond grateful to start this journey with all of you. Thank you for being here 🥹🤩.

✨I started this business in hopes to create and empower a community of people who enjoy celebrating beautiful things. Through events such as the Book Faire, Film Screenings, Holiday Balls, Garden Parties and more, I hope to bring together fellow art-lovers and romantics, while empowering/networking with local businesses. Come along on this journey as we jump into the fantasy and enjoy time together along the way!! See you soon 📚🤎
