What a crazy weekend. I went to open a new Etsy shop to sell just supplies, and somehow it changed the name of my current and long-standing shop... >>>sigh<< So. Until this gets straightened out at Etsy... please disregard the shop name; it's still me.

Sometimes the computer is not my friend. I work really hard on things... and sometimes it backfires. Such is life, I suppose... but it is certainly frustrating. In this particular case, a glitch has happened, and I can't undo it. So I have to wait for someone else to fix it. There are days when life is definitely 2 steps forward, 3 steps back.

In other news.... I did make some things this weekend. I made 5 pair of gemstone and sterling silver earrings for the shop. I made a 6th pair that I am offering up for FREE. Simple sign in to Facebook, and go to my business Facebook page -- like and share; and I will enter your name into a jar. The winning name will be pulled out TUESDAY. The earrings are a simple hoop design, made with sterling silver wire and rainbow Fluorite beads. Fluorite is such a pretty stone. The winning earrings look like this:

I also made this pair. Featuring some stunning Druzy Quartz, old stock yellow calcite in faceted nugget shaped beads, and some gorgeous Russian blue kyanite teardrops -- these are all wire wrapped in sterling silver. Raw, lux, and beautiful.

And I submitted an application to be a vendor at a fairly big show later on this year... so we'll see.
Keep creating folks! .... See you all tomorrow.
