I have a outdoor sale this weekend, Sunday and I sell some of my etsy store stock at it. The good news is that I don’t sell all of it, and I’ve developed new unlisted things for this sale, that may be listed after it. If something doesn’t sell, it doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with it – people are so different and their needs are different. So do please check back on Monday, the 13th at noon for what’s new and what’s still there. I’m a one person business so this is necessary. Sorry for any inconvenience.

A lady from Montreal… lovely, lovely jewelry. Simplicity is the essence of true beauty.
In her own words:
I’ve been crafting for as long as I can remember.
I “discovered” wire working several years ago, and a passion was born. I then decided to take metalsmith classes to bring my creations to the next level.
I’ve been working with many different materials, from felt to silk, to polymer clay and crystals. But my favorite of all is silver. Especially silver wire.
Most of my work include wire. It is so versatile. You can twist it, weave it, crochet it, knit it, make jump rings and chainmaille with it… So many possibilities that I want to explore thoroughly.
I like pure lines and simple designs. Because the simple things in life are often the best.
Thank you for visiting my shop!

I can always use friends and I’m on Facebook under my real name. There’s probably more information there about me and I invite you all to be friends. And yes, I still love the immediacy of Twitter.

Sharon is a dear friend. We share a booth at Art and Elegance in Beads in the Portland Convention Center in the spring. She is a lady with a big heart, a ready smile and a hearty laugh. A great person to share a booth with. We snicker throughout the 3 long days of the show. She is also supremely talented. Her speed and accuracy of bead weaving and flawless design skills make her work sought far and wide. In her own words:
I have been beading for 5 years, and like most people who bead I love this art form. The first class I went to I came home with a hand full of knots but I spent that nite creating a lovely beaded bracelet and I was hooked. I like using unique beads or stones combined with different bead weaving techniques to create my jewelryand if it is purple that makes it even better!
