Wrapping up the Year...

with all of the lovely jewelry creations that I've failed to show off from talented jewelry artists!

I have photos to share that have been hibernating on my desktop for weeks and weeks... creations by Lorelei Eurto and Kim Burkhart.

It's so rare that I get to meet people (in person) who have purchased my pendants, so it was such a treat when Kim happened to stop in to the Ruby Tuesday Bead Company while I was there for a trunk show this summer!

Kim's business name is Her Gypsy Soul (website isn't complete yet but there's an email link there if you'd like to contact her).

Then there's a parade of pieces by Lorelei Eurto...where she finds the time to create so prolifically is beyond me!

I hope you found some inspiration in these beautiful pieces!

I wish you a Happy New Year full of creativity!

Long Beach Trunk Show...this Saturday!

I am so excited to say that I will be at the Ruby Tuesday Bead Company...live and in person (doesn't that seem somewhat redundant?) this Saturday from 1:00-4:00 p.m.

I'll have everything with me...I mean EVERYTHING that is currently on my website plus all the items that I'm feverishly working on completing this week. Many many many new designs using my latest find...handcut wood fabric printing blocks from Pakistan that I scored from a local potter! If you live in Southern California I would love to have you drop by! The shop is jam packed with great beads and they have all sorts of terrific project ideas on display.

The shop is located at 398 Ximeno Ave, Long Beach, CA 90814

There is currently construction at the 7^th street off ramp to Long Beach. Unless you know Long Beach the easiest way to the store is:

Continue up 405 North to Lakewood Blvd South. Travel south to the traffic circle. When you enter the circle DO NOT take the first exit. (That’s North PCH.) You want to exit the circle on the South PCH (which is the 2^nd one). Once you are on South PCH stay to the right because the very next light is Ximeno Ave. Turn Right. Cross over Anaheim Street and 7^th Street. Continue up the hill to 4^th Street. Turn right on 4^th and left into the parking lot.
