A change in plans....

I've been doing this blog for about a month now and have figured out that as much as I love making jewelry it is a small part of my life and there isn't enough to blog about on a regular basis.
So, this is going to be about everything and anything in my life including ETSY and my jewelry. I hope you enjoy it even more!
This blogging thing is pretty fun!!

Take care and visit often!

Tip of the day, week, month or whenever I get around to putting up a new one........

New tip....
A great way to keep your jewelry from tarnishing is available on QVC.com. They have a lot of different organizers to store your jewelry but my favorite is the PreZerve fashion jewelry organizer. One of my very good friends bought me one of these last year and I love it! It has about 30 compartments and has a special material that keeps your sterling silver from tarnishing.
My mom has a great way of storing her bracelets and necklaces. She put a cork board up on her bedroom wall and hangs her jewelry on that with tacks. Everything hangs nice with out getting tangeled and it's easy to choose what to wear because it's all right there! Another great storage device for bracelets is a coffee mug holder that stands on a table and has little poles sticking out to hang a mug on. You could probably get one cheap at the salvation army store.

Etsy

I found Etsy about four months ago and I think it's an awesome site! I think it's important to support people that handcraft items because so many things are mass produced now. To be able to purchase something that someone put their heart and soul into making seems much more special to me than something bought off the shelf.
How many times have you needed to get a gift for someone and thought you'd really like to get something unique and special?? Only to resort to a gift card or something you need to give the gift receipt for. Who wouldn't want something handmade???? Don't get me wrong I love getting gift cards once in a while but for someone to put thought into my gift and get me something that fits my tastes and personality and that some real person made, that would be "priceless"!
