Hi all!

I get so many questions on etsy about different uses for my items, so I thought I'd add some of that info here and, hopefully, it will help new artisans. By no means will this information be exhaustive; rather, consider it a brief introduction into the exceedingly addictive world of jewelry design! I will add this info over several different posts, so keep checking back. Also, many of you who might read this are probably old pros, so if you have some ideas to add, please feel f…

Wishing everyone the warmest of holiday greetings! May your holiday be filled with peace, joy, and merriment!

I really like seeing what local crafters/artists are working on. I'm going to hand out flyers at an art festival tomorrow. I'm going to put them on windshields, too. I can't wait!!! I hope to promote my shops and etsy.
