Asnother test drive

This ring is gorgeous and it is coming to my store tomorrow. I have to see how it feels on my hand first :)

A perfect match

I am creating a matching pendant for one of my dear customers and I realized that these earrings were one of my first attempts to make jewelry.



It felt so strange to be cutting the same design as many (only 3) years ago. So many things changed.

Bead extravaganza!

Guess where I am going today?


I was saving my lunch money for several months :) (yes, i did lose some weight) to buy my favorite stones at this show! One vendor only comes once a year to my area, so I tried to make sure I have enough money to visit him and to get all the best stones! Now I just need to hope that I will have time till Cristmas to make all my jewelry! :)

I am ready to roll. 

Oh, and of course I took a day off!!! NO WORK, YEAY!
