November Contest - Win Free Jewelry!

November is a time to think about all of our good fortune.  Sure, everyone's life has misfortune, some more than others.  But with the right approach, even the lowest of us can find something positive.  That's the basis of my November contest.

Fiber Fest

On Saturday I went to the Knox Farm Fiber Festival in East Aurora.  The weather was initially pleasant, then go so windy that vendors' tents were in grave danger of making it to Kansas.

I think alpacas have really sweet faces, and they are reportedly very gentle animals.  

Check out my new blogsite to read more about the Fiber Festival and other things posts related to weaving, jewelry, bees, and more!

Garnets - a Gemstone of Passion

I just completed two garnet necklaces as custom orders for a wedding.  I'm pleased with the results of both, which coordinate, but are different. You can see them side by side at my new blogsite, and get lots more information about the healing properties of garnets. Here are a few tidbits to whet your appetite.

Garnets inspire romantic love and sensuality.  They help turn negative thinking into a positive approach to life, and have been used through the centuries for protection against injury.

September Contest

The September contest continues the celestial theme I began in August.  The free handmade earrings I'm offering are made with manmade hematite, and their little stars and wrapped orbs make me smile with pleasure - to make them, to wear them, and to see them in others' ears.
