Priced at $6, if you order by Saturday, I will get them mailed that day and you should have them by Valentine’s Day. Where else are you going to find hand-made items crafted and delivered for under $10?

November 2012: My newest passion: Turning beads, chains and findings into jewelry!

I’ve always had a creative streak, so when a dear friend introduced me to jewelry-making a while back, I jumped in with both feet ~ or should I say both hands? Jewelry-making is somewhat like a drug addiction ~ once you’re hooked, you’re hooked. My bumper sticker should read: “I brake for bead shops!” While I’m somewhat new to jewelry-making, it is much like my lifelong career in graphic design and editing. Both endeavors involve taking all the elements and deciding what works best where. Only now instead of words, photos and graphics, I work with beads, chains and findings. I hope you enjoy browsing my inventory.
