This is a necklace that I recently completed. It is my first 5 strand necklace (the most I had done was 3 strand).  I love the colors!

I will be headed out to Tucson, Arizona in the beginning of February for the International Gem and Mineral Show.  I am sooo excited about the trip.  When I go to this show I can find pearls, stones, and silver findings that I can’t find anywhere else.  Specifically I will be looking for smokey quartz, peruvian opal, red coral,  extra large pearls plus tons more! This spring will be a fun time for new designs!

Harrison got a guitar for Christmas and loves it!  And the second photo is Charlotte on the left (Hannah’s daughter) and Amelia is on the right.  Hannah (my sister and business partner) and I are so blessed to be able to be at home with our children during the day.  Sometimes I think being a stay at home mom is so much harder than if I went to a typical job. Most days I am pretty exhausted but I am filled with so much happiness when I look at our children.  Having our small jewelry business allows us to supplement our families just enough to keep us at home.  Plus designing and creating jewelry allows me to challenge myself in new ways and keep my brain from turning to mush from dealing with so many diapers, sippy cups, and Dora the Explorers!  Thanks for all of your support in 2009! Hoping to make 2010 even better with new designs and great prices!

I will be back at Rice’s a lot this year and I am really excited!  Beginning in March, I will be there the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month.  I will be back at my regular spot out by the main road, near the large house.  I will post the exact dates as we get closer to March.  Come see me!

I am currently working on my “design theme” for the new year.  Funny how my ideas come to me while I am laying in bed, listening to my 8 month cry as a I am trying to get her to sleep more than 2 hours at a time at night. I need sleep!!!  I guess when I am overtired my brain goes into overdrive which I guess leads to some interesting ideas.

I am thinking very simple this year.  Finding 1,2, or 3 really wonderful pearls and stones to put in a design rather than tons of pearls and stones.  I love the looks of “pile on the pearls” which has been my design theme for the past two years.  However, the changing economy has lead to changes in every one’s lives.  I am trying to create pieces that focus on one special focal point to represent the appreciation of simple living.  Rather than owning tons of necklaces that you “like” why not own one that you “love”.  Simplifying can help us appreciate what we do have in our lives.  Appreciating the small things is healthy for all of us.  These designed will be wonderful whether you wear them casually or dressed up.  The best part… along with these simple designs comes a lower price. Everyone can save some money right now.

Check back for photos of my new designs…
