Another Treasury

Yay...one of my Labradorite necklaces made it in an Etsy Treasury! 

Honored

It's always an honor when someone includes me in a treasury on Etsy!!

A big thank you to the curator of this one: shannonbatescreates 

Happy Dance!

 

 

Yay...another milestone has been reached...800 sales!! Big thank you to all of my wonderful customers!

Custom Made for Mom

Just wanted to share a picture of the pendant that I made for my mom. My dad purchased a whopping trillian cut Citrine gemstone and asked me to make a pendant with it. She doesn't wear silver and that's pretty much all that I work with -- so to accomodate her love of gold, off to the side of the pendant is a flower and... two leaves which I accented with 24kt gold. It needs a bit of polishing, but I'm pleased with the results!

 This whole piece is made using PMC3, and 24kt Accent Gold.

Another Day in Paradise...

Sipping on a much needed mocha, the sun is shining and life is really good!

It's been awhile since I've posted on Facebook or my blog...it's been a busy few weeks with my best friend visiting, day job, Etsy and preparing for my college kids homecoming for their summer break.

Business has been steady and I've been working on some new designs and perfecting some old ones. So I'll be listing those in the upcoming weeks.

I'm just 3 sales away from reaching a milestone of 800 sales!! Whoohoo! Tonight I will be making a Fine Silver (made of precious metal clay) Necklace for the lucky 800th customer and I'll post pictures of it tomorrow!  ~Have a wonderful day!

Busy Having Fun!

Sorry that I've been away! I've also failed at the "Listing-A-Day" Challenge. It started out with a seminar that I had to go to for my day job, then just 2 days after that my best friend arrived!! Needless to say we've been going non-stop...shopping, seeing family, shopping oh and eating...I think I've gained 10 lbs since she's been here, and I thought wine and cheese was good for you! Maybe not in excess huh? Oh well...I'm having an awesome time visiting with her, and this weekend we're off to a girls trip to the beach *yay*

I do however have a new Labradorite piece listed--

Blazing - Labradorite, Peridot, Carnelian and Sterling Silver Necklace

 

So I'll be closing up shop for my weekend trip, until then I'll be listing a few more items! I hope everyone is having a great week--I sure am :)

One short week to go...

then my best friend will be here and...tomorrow is Friday...woot woot! I've got so many things to do around the house in preparation for her arrival...eh...it'll still be waiting for me tomorrow--I'm such a terrible procrastinator. I've made a list of things to buy (comfort food) while she's here....Hummus-check, coconut shrimp with mango chutney-check, lumpia with sweet and spicy sauce-check....and the list goes on an on--so excited!

Anyways I can't forget about the listing challenge on Etsy so here are my newest listings to my shop:

Nectar - Vintage Glass and Sterling Silver Necklace

Hibiscus - Sterling Silver Hoops

 

Day 13

Wow..I don't think it ever ceases to amaze me how fast time fly's...it's already day 13 of the April Challenge! If you want to check out the other sellers who are participating in this challenge you can see their listings in this Etsy forum thread. You may find something you can't live without :)

Dew Drop - Peruvian Opal and Sterling Silver Necklace

BFF'S

I think I forgot to mention that my best friend is coming to visit...woot woot! I have missed her terribly!! Since she moved last year life has not been the same. I went from talking to her and seeing her every day to talking to her once maybe twice a week. She isn't just my best friend, she's my sister in every sense of the word. My parents call her daughter and my boys call her mom...she is family. When she left, she took part of my heart with her. I'm not whole without her near, I'm not me without her. It reminds me of a conversation in "Little Women" when Jo comes home and Beth is ill -- an excerpt of what Beth says to Jo:

"I've missed you so. Why does everyone want to go away? I love being home. But I don't like being left behind."

Okay...so you get the point...I miss her! Anyways...she's coming to visit for close to 3 weeks and I can't wait. We'll once again sit up til all hours of the night drinking coffee, talking about everything, anything and nothing at all...just enjoying every minute we have with each other! All will be right in the world again :)

April Challenge

I'm still trying to keep up with the listing challenge for April. I missed yesterday not so much because I feel bad, but more because I was just being lazy :P I am feeling better though...my ears aren't clogged anymore but for some reason my sinus' are burning like I've been swimming and snorted water up my nose...yuck! Other than that life is just grand! So here's my two newest listings:

Lemon Drops - Citrine and Sterling Silver Hoop Earrings

La Luna - Pearl and Sterling Silver Necklace
