Indulge Yourself


Indulge yourself or someone you know with a set of 99.9% pure silver stitch markers. What knitter or crocheter wouldn't be tickled with these? I love to crochet when I can find the time and these are perfect with worsted weight yarns also designated by a (4) although I am having no trouble using them on some Naturally Caron SPA which is a Bamboo blend and a (3) for a surprise I am making for a friend. These would make a great Secret Santa gift for Christmas too. Check them out here!

What does it say about you?


Some time back there was a post at mixedmediaartist.com
asking "What does your work say about you?" I wondered how I would answer this. I decided my work does reflect me in many ways that might surprise people who think they know me. Why? Because of the variety. From the rigid yet graceful origami Pinwheel to the free flowing Sea glass to my love of nature's detail in the Avocado Leaves the differences are stark. Some people know me as a detail oriented craft person while others see me only from my cut and dried business encounters. Those closer to me also know me as a compassionate animal lover and gardener. I am not just one of those things. I am a combination of all of them. And I am learning and growing and changing every year.

So what does the jewelry you buy and wear say about you? Is some of it fun loving while other pieces make a bold statement of your beliefs? Are some pieces bright and colorful while others are shiny and classy? Aren't you all of those people?

That is the glory of the years. As time goes by each of us becomes a more multifaceted gem. At times life chisels away at us and other times it gently polishes. But each event in our life adds dimension to who we are. I believe that is a glorious statement and one to celebrate and declare. Let your jewelry speak as to who you are. People will listen with their eyes and with their hearts.

What are you wearing today and what is it saying to the people you meet?

Handcrafted in the USA


We received some interesting inquiries today. From China. Offering to make molds for the silver dove charms and offering their jewelry items for resale. Isn't it amazing how a such a simple thing can make you take a fresh look?

I realized that I need to add information on the website to some of the pieces like this dove letting customers know that this is not made from a mold. It is origami with silver. Many of the pieces are origami style and I will make a point of designating that.

Also ALL of the silver we sell is hand crafted in the United States of America. If it sounds like I am bragging, well, yes I guess I am because I am proud of it.

Occasionally molds are used on some pieces but most of the time we make the molds ourselves in order to have complete control over the jewelry process.

Look for more updates on the website coming soon.

Necklace update

The new Hanging Leaf Avocado Necklace has been such a hit that I have already sold out. You can still place an order though as I am working on more, there just could be some delays in filling the order. Things have been hectic here as the new pieces are selling before I can even get them posted on the website. Keep checking back as I will get them up as soon as I can.
