Guess Who?

Yes, I have been a slacker lately! Between camp, school being out, and church events going on I have not had much time to blog so I want to thank those of you that read my blog for your patience. You are so appreciated. Ok, here goes!

I have been working on some jewelry to list on Etsy and some to put in this cute little shop in Waxhaw, NC. If you live near Waxhaw, please stop by sometime. Address is 101 North Church Street in Waxhaw. There is an abundance of talent in this one little place! Here are some pictures. The name of the shop is "Waxhaw Art & Chocolate
Unique handmade art and chocolate galore! Fridays and Saturdays 10-5

I also found a really cheap but lovely way to display your earrings. I have not seen this way before so hopefully it is an original by yours truly :) I had gone to Wal-Mart and picked up this thread spindle/spool holder. I then brought it home and sprayed it with gold paint and let dry. Then I loaded it with earrings and I think it turned out great! You can make your own earrings cards and it works just as well. I skipped ever other peg to that it did not look so cramped. Please let me know what you think..............



Well, I hope to get you a wonderful summer recipe this week so stay tuned. Must go for now. Peace out and have a wonderfully blessed day until next time....

On This Fine Wednesday!

Good morning to all of my readers and followers. I have been reading everyone else's blogs and neglected my own in the process. I was able to get a background done, (which took me a whole day) with a more pleasing, springy ombeonce. There is so much to learn about blogging! If any of you out there have any suggestions, please send them my way!

Yesterday I was featured in http://www.gemsbyjerri.blogspot.com/ Go by and check it out and learn a little bit more about me.

I have two pair of earrings that I have made and have listed on Etsy. I usually list them here first but did things backwards this time! If you know me then you also know that I sometimes do things backwards. lol Well here goes.

I had some Rose Gold filled wire sitting around and decided that I could use it for Spring. These earrings are what I came up with which are very light and colorful. The links are enclosed with a hammered texture. They are accented with Swarovski crystals which are green and pink. I love these two colors together. The ear wires are also handmade and accented with a Swarovski crystal. I have twisted the ear wires to help prevent slippage in the ear. I love long and/or big earrings and these cuties hang about 3 1/2"

Turquoise is one of my favorite stones! I guess I can attribute it to being born in New Mexico.

The individually wrapped each stone and then strategically attached them to a sterling silver chain. The ear wires were handmade by me. I twisted the sterling silver wire (to help prevent slippage) then formed it to a design that I find elegant and accented it with a sterling silver bead. They have a drop of approx. 2 1/2"

I just received my shipment of AAA gemstones and can't wait to make some pieces from them! I would like to know from my readers if you prefer sets to be (earrings and a bracelet) or (earrings and a necklace) or (a bracelet and a necklace)? Your input would be so appreciated.






Wishing everyone a Happy Wednesday!
