So, my summer business has been a little slow, lending me time to create a few new pieces for the craft show I do in the beginning of December. I've had the supplies sitting around for this piece for a long while, but never had the time to sit down and work on it. It's called the Spiked Spiral Bracelet, taught to me by the wire work master, Lisa Niven Kelly.

Love love LOVE it. It's a big pain in the neck (hand?) to make, but it looks like it may have been worth the time! What you do think? (Excuse the photo....I took it with my phone!)

Ronald's Lemonade Stand

As many of you already know from my posts, I am a former teacher and substitute quite a bit in the kindergarten classes of my childrens' school district. Recently, one of the sweet little boys in a class I am in quite often has been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and is currently under going chemotherapy~~ boom. Just like that. I was in his room a week and a half ago.

The family is going to need help with his medical bills for a variety of reasons. His friends and neighbors have already set up a Lemonade Stand for him to help raise money for his medical bills. If you are in the area, the stand will be set up at the school carnival this Saturday, June 12th. If you can't make the carnival, you can send donations to the following address:

Ronald Hogas Fundraiser~~ Lemonade Stand
Holy Cross Lutheran Church
280 Crosswicks Road
Bordentown, NJ 08505

Checks may be made out to Ronald Hogas. Click the link above to join his Facebook page.

Okay, so here's what I am going to do. For every purchase made today through my website (or personally, if you know me) I will donate $10 of the sale to my little friend Ronald. If you buy a pair of $12 earrings, I will still donate the $10. So please, if you have been on the fence about buying a piece, now would be a wonderful time to do it. You will get a lovely piece of jewelry and be helping out as well.

The LOST Bracelet is back for a Limited Time!

Can you believe it is over? Can you believe I've never seen one episode? (I know, I know!)

This cuff debuted a few years ago. I removed it from circulation for awhile, but now with the series ending I thought I would bring it back for a limited time!

This cuff is a little bit wider than my traditional cuff......don't like it being so wide but *need* to wear the code? Simply order my original cuff in the Block font and type the code in the text box!

Special Price on my Graudation Cuff!

One week only!

Here's a beautiful keepsake for that special graduate~~ a sterling silver cuff! On the outside I will stamp the graduate's full name. On the inside can be "Class of 2010", or even the name of their high school along with it! (If space allows!)

This is a wonderful gift that they will wear for years to come!

The *NEW* Resin Custom Photo Key Chain is Here!

Yep, as promised, it's here!

We are so happy to be able to offer to you a *custom* key chain made from your high resolution photo! After we receive the photo, our photo editor will crop it to the size that is needed. He will then edit it as needed to make it work with the size of the key chain. We are able to turn your photo into a black and white print, or an antique sepia. It's up to you!

The key chain is heavy weight silver tone. It is approximately 35mm across has a good weight to it.

We just love it!

So, I've been playing with resin.......

....yep. Resin is a lot of fun! I am really happy that I am going to be able to offer these two new pieces! My photo professional (aka Husband Nick) will take your high resolution photo and crop it to the correct size. He will also edit it to make it work at the size we need. We can also turn your color photo black and white or antique it! How cool is that? Here's Gracie in her original photo...


and here she is in her new silver plated, resin covered cuff link set!


Cute, huh? Here's a link right to them!
Take me to the cuff links!

I also have a really nice key chain as well!
Take me to the key chain!



Please note that these new resin pieces will take a little bit longer than my normal time frame to get to you. We need to receive and edit your photos before we can even start the resin process, which takes a few days in itself. So, order earlier than you normally would if it is a gift item!
