Here at Poe in Wonderland we support large and small businesses, and especially like to highlight small ones. Etsy is always a great place to find unique items. Etsy is also good about informing its affiliates about shops to know. Recently, they sent out notices about black-owned shops and we thought you'd like to know about them, and hopefully patronize them. From jewelry to wonderful paintings to vintage wear, these shops have it all. So, please check them out today, and happy shopping!

Simply Faith by K Grady
Simply Faith
$35.00
Handmade
Materials: Archival paper, Vivid color, clear imaging
This painting depicts John the Baptist baptizing Our Lord Jesus Christ, as the Heavens above open to show God's pleasure.
“My series Simply Faith is very close to my heart. It all began because I wanted to really know God and develop a closer relationship with Him. I felt the true way for me to do this was to study His word. As I continue to study the bible certain verses come alive in my artist eye and I feel I must sketch them down on paper. So I make collage paintings from paper I mono print and the sketched inspired by the Bible. I feel like the paintings remind me of being in Sunday School and hearing these stories for the first time with my child's mind. Not doubting but Simply having Faith.”

Each East African bead is handcrafted by artisans, individually carved and polished, and is truly one of a kind. The oval tube beads with carvings are Reclaimed/Upcycled Ebony wood beads which come from African Ebony trees. Its rich texture, wax, and high density gives your necklace a very beautiful and textured aesthetic appeal. Notice the smoothness, delicate texture and deep black shade of the beads. They are sure to make you stand out and serve as a great conversation starter.” Read more about the necklace here.
