Rain has finally Stopped!

The sun is out! After all the rain we had it is a pleasant site to see, bright sunshine. I like working with natural light because colors look better and and true. I have been busy getting ready to send out my first e-mail to past customer's. I hope to do this monthly and offer free shipping, promotions and give-aways. It's always interesting to try something new. Plus I have been busy making new things for Spring and Summer. So stay tuned!

Paramus High School Spring Craft Show

Tomorrow I will be at the 8th Paramus High School Spring Craft Show for the first time! I am looking forward to this show. The school is on Century Road in Paramus an the hours are 10:AM to 5:PM. So if you are near by please stop on by!

Spring Craft Fair in Hackettstown

If you live nearby stop into the Spring Craft Fair in Hackettstown, NJ. It is being held at the Methodist Church on 213 Main Street. Everything in the show is HANDMADE, no buy/sell. The weather is suppose to warm and sunny, a good day to get out and enjoy the day. I'll be there with lot's of new things!

Deco Necklace

One of the things I enjoy about making jewelry is putting different pieces together especially when some of the pieces are vintage. I came upon these really pretty vintage plastic drops in different colors, peach, coral and beige. The necklace shown here is using the peach ones. I have mixed them with dainty brass butterflies and brass chain. I can hardly wait to make more necklaces with the other colors.

Gearring Up

I am in the process of gearing up for craft shows this Spring. So much to do, I do not know where the time goes! All my shows are listed here in my blog so please check back often. If you live in the area please stop by one of the shows and say 'hi'.

Lil Bowtique & Co

Do you have a little girl, granddaughter, sister or friend? Then you will LOVE this site named Lil Bowtique & Co. So many cute things for girls, bows, hats, headbands, socks and flowers. Heather Helton and Jenifer Driscoll are the two talented women who create all these beautiful things. How did I hear about them? From Jeri Bunyard who I met in Mazatlan this year. Her hubby Bill and my hubby Tom play golf together. Jeri had so many wonderful things to say about her daughter and her friend that I wanted to spread the word to those who love to buy pretty things for little girls. Enjoy!

Back from Vacation

Came back from Mazatlan, Mexico just the other day. It was so warm there and today we are covered in snow. This year's trip was a bit different from other years. It was the first year where we experienced clouds and rain. Crazy weather patterns all over. My find this year was the picture in this post. I just over the subject and the colors are glorious. I carried all the way because I did not want it to get broken by the airlines. It will be over the fireplace mantel and fits the room perfectly. LOVE IT!

Who Knew!

Yesterday I was screaming for help with my FB Fan page and now I feel like a fool. Up to yesterday I had read that one needed 100 fans to change the fan page url but that information was incorrect. I was reading through some Etsy threads and discovered one only needs 25 fans to change the url. I found that our after I posted my blog, wrote on FB and Twittered my call for help. In the mean time I did change the url. 'Thank you' to all who 'fanned' my page and now I am up to 60 which is great.

Frustrasting...Facebook FAN Pages

I am getting really frustrated with trying to get 100 Fans on my Facebook Fan page. Reason? so that I can shorten the url. I have posted in so many Etsy forums, fanned lots and lots of people, asked on my regular Facebook page and nada. What bugs me the most is people asking to be fanned and then they do not fan back. With all the people I have helped I should have 100 fans. What's the secret? All this social networking stuff is really time consuming and I am not sure it is worth it. Anyone agree? Disagree? If you are reading this and are on Facebook, PLEASE 'fan' my page. Thank you!

Loving these Earrings!

This morning I was inpired and full of creativity. The earrings pictured here are one of the pairs I made today. Tiny pieces of brass and rhinestones all go so well together layered and on pretty brass leverbacks. I think these would be perfect for a bride or an evening out.
