A Great Show!
I had a wonderful time at the DIY Trunkshow! It was a great show put on by the Chicago Craft Mafia...a talented group of crafters, creators and business folk dedicated to supporting the handmade and the local. My booth neighbors were lovely and I can't wait to get my fingers on some of their handmade goodies!

Doggies
One of the best things about working from home is being able to hang out with my two favorite pooches all day! They are great studio mates that always make me smile and its nice (for me and them) to take a break and give them some love.

More Rings and Things...
Sadly, I can't be a part of the Evanston Winter Expo. I've been very sick and haven't gotten enough inventory made for all of my shows. I've still donated a pair of earrings to the silent auction so go bid on those earrings and the money will go to a great cause!I'm feeling better and functional again but still have a little something lingering. I'm powering through it, taking lots of vitamins, drinking o.j. and getting some jewelry made. I've gotten some new yummy gemstones (Prehnite, Orange Moonstone, Chalcedony, Chrysoprase and more) to

Cocktail Rings and More!
I've been one busy bee this last week...creating new pieces, making multiples of my bestsellers and filling online and store orders! I am almost officially self employed (scary and exciting) but if things keep going the way they are going everything should be great! Thanks to all of my supportive family friends and customers! Here's some photos of a few new pieces that I will have at my upcoming shows (listed on the sidebar page). I will also try to get these up in my online shop by next week.Linked Petal and Pearl Necklace
