Other Artists #2

I am trying to spruce up my blog. Why? Well... it's just fun to do. I wish I had a job doing this kind of thing. Anyway. Isn't this amazing photograph by mesmanimages, http://www.mesmanimages.etsy.com/ just amazing! I've loved it for months and put it in my treasury this week. Two of the items I put in my treasury sold the next day!

Etsy is full of amazing artists!

I added several links to other blogs I like to visit. Most of them are other etsians and they are very talented. I love to read their blogs and get a glimpse into the person behind the etsy items! They are fun and friendly people... go meet them!

Don't forget to scroll down and enter my March/April contest to win a pair of free earrings!

I'm off to make some more items for my wonderful client, Amy. Her shop is wonderful... I need two more like her! Have a great weekend!

Etsy :: Your Etsy Mini

Collection of some favorites!

YEAH... after consulting with my buddies on the etsy forum this morning... I finally figured out how to get a collection of my favorites on my blog! Now that it's a page element instead of a post... it will stay up here at the top and I can change the pictures out! Yeah...I am feeling very happy and inspired!

Keep a watchful eye... you, too, could be a favorite!

Have a great day! I'm off to create! (and make beds)

Artists on Etsy!

One of my favorite things about etsy is the fact you can find a HUGE collection of amazing artists there... often just hanging out in the forums and chatrooms. This BEAUTIFUL photograph is by one of my favorite etsy artists at

http://www.phoebec.etsy.com/ She is so talented and I love the color and texture in her work.

So check out her store and be amazed by her beautiful artwork!

I am TRYING to figure out how to get a collage of my favorites over here in blog land. I am so computer challenged... I am amazed I can even do as well as this! Hopefully I'll be sharing more than one artist at a time soon!

Coolest Stones Ever!

I found these stones at Mart yesterday when I had to go spend a FORTUNE on silver! ughhhh....

Anyway, focus.... I picked these stones up because they were this wonderful pale blue color and I thought they would be great wrapped in silver. So I am at the counter and the girl asks me,

"You know about these stones don't you?" "Nooooo...." I respond. "They change color, they become a deep lavender... go to the hallway... see for yourself." So I walk out the door with them in hand and wau lau.... they totally change before my eyes! It was so cool and then I knew I had to have them! So the deal is, in fluorescent light, they change to this pale blue color! So buy a pair and wear them and trip out your friends!

I am also so excited about the people I am meeting through my blog now! It's so much fun to see who stops by and check out their shops!

Have a great Easter!

Free Earrings!

I want to meet you! And I am also promoting my blog!

A fellow etsian is doing the same thing and so I was inspired! All you have to do is leave a comment and you will be eligible to win this free pair of earrings! They are made with beer bottle brown glass seed beads and vintage ivory beads! I just adore them!

Hopefully, I will make some new friends and be inspired to blog more on my jewelry blog. I have two blogs. I have another blog that is private for family and friends and so this one gets neglected sometimes. So not anymore!

I will do this on a monthly basis. So you can leave comments here until April 21. On that day, I will put your names in a bag (on my honor!) and randomly draw a name. I will contact you for your address and send you this lovely pair of earrings!

Thanks for joining me! Have fun and have a great day!

Fiesta Time!

I am totally loving this new bracelet. The first two I made were snatched up by a client who sells them in her shop and she's requested matching necklaces. So before I made her necklaces I HAD to get one in my shop! It's so fun and colorful and I love the dangles. This is my NEW favorite piece! (I should say bracelet bc I am totally loving my new wire wrapped lampwork bead necklaces too!)

Spring has come and gone!

Well, kinda. I have tweaked my line and come up with two lines, "Casual Collection" and the "Semi-Precious Collection". I made up many pieces to take to the store who sells my items and she bought the entire line! Yeah for me but oohhh for my etsy site! So... I am trying to make more pieces to put in my shop. I've also been doing some custom pieces and have one more set for prom to make. So keep watching... more items coming soon, I promise!

Spring is in the Air

Oh what a beautiful weekend we had here in Georgia! We drove around town with the top down and grilled outside and ate dinner on the deck both nights! I love that simple little time together. My husband grills and hands me stuff through the kitchen window and Abby runs back and forth setting the table!

These are some of my sweet blooms from last year.... I am so ready for Spring to come this year and to have my yard in bloom again!

I am busy making Spring creations. I have to take my collection to a store this Thursday and give her first pick and then the rest will be going up on etsy.... so stay tuned!
