2 new necklaces in store

Do you love it? I do! Calling all Earth Girls!

Golden Amber Necklace-- Check it out--http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28538994

I love these round stone beads and the rich natural color of the Pendant!

and Here is my Growing Flowers Necklace-- http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28534602

The design is scratched flowers and grass. This color glaze looks great with both blues and greens, denim, and browns.

I have added a design to the other side as well. Why? cause I'm crazy like that!

Hope you are having a great summery day!

Oh boy! It's been a while!
This cute mid-sized bundle of energy has a lot to do with it!
Here's Samson, our adopted 7 year old Wheaten Terrier-Poodle Mix. I have been using a lot of my early morning blog time for walks with Samson this past week or so as we have been getting to know each other.
I have also smoke fired many beads and fired a big load of glass and stoneware beads and pendants. I will get some of these fancy new pieces in my etsy shop in the next couple of days!

Hope it's been a great weekend for you!

Look What Marcie Made!

I so love when I see what other designers do with the beads I make!

Everyone thinks so differently, and I love it! In my jewelry, I have used pieces like this primarily as a pendant, but this use as a bracelet focal fits so well!

I love it! Thanks for sharing Marcie!

Creative People Pay it Forward

Four brave souls took me up on the Creative People are Adventurous Challenge a few months ago. I finally mailed out every one's packages on Monday!

It took me a long time to decide on what kinds of things everyone might like. I read blogs and facebooks, checked out flickr pages, and I hope I found things everyone will use.

It was fun! I hope everyone receives their packages without breakage. (I don't have much experience mailing pottery.)

I hope you love your gifts guys! Thanks for reading my blog!

Etsy 200 surprises!!

Hi Everybody! Guess what! ...... I am really close to my 200th Etsy sale! Hooray!

To celebrate (and to hopefully reach it sooner) I am going to give a super surprise gift with every purchase up to 200 and a super duper big surprise gift for sale #200.

What will the gifts be? Hmmm, I think they will be fit for the purchase. So Buy jewelry - get a jewelry related surprise. Buy a pendant or beads- get coordinating gemstones or a sample of a different style of my handmade beads. I will have fun picking them out!

The super duper big surprise for sale #200-- I think I will send a piece of my pottery!

OK Ya'll --- Go for it!

I wanna start picking surprises!

Hope everyone is having a great day!
