Inventory Reduction Sale!

As my Petoskey stone jewelry is my best selling item, I have decided I need to clear out some of the other handmade jewelry items in my Etsy shop, as I want to just focus on the Petoskey jewelry. So I have put most of my shop on clearance, 40 percent off. Most items now priced less than $20!

Please help some of these pieces find new homes!

Happy New Year! Valentine's Day Sale!

Wow, January is almost over!  The weather here in Michigan actually hasn't been too bad, no sub-zero temperatures to contend with so far this winter, and not much snow, other than the 6 inches we got last weekend.  I've been working on all sorts of different projects this month, feeling a little more creative than usual I guess!  

A few of my recent creations:

Layered Seed Bead Necklace Set

Toes in the Sand, Wine in my Hand Garnet Bracelet

Millefiori Daisy Fused Glass Pendant

Petoskey Stone and Amazonite Necklace

Believe Starfish Resin Pendant

Copper Heart Earrings

Live Love Lake Petoskey Charm Pendant

Since Valentine's Day is just a few weeks away, I thought it might be a good time for a sale too!  Fifteen percent off most items until February 7, 2020.  Check it out here!

Almost Christmas???

Wow, I cannot believe it is a week until Christmas!  Every year goes by faster and faster....it seems like just a few months ago we were spending New Year's Eve in Florida!  Mostly been working on Petoskey stone jewelry, interspersed with some resin and other beaded creations.

All available in my Etsy shop!  Happy Holidays!!

Muffin Tin Challenge 2017 - Some Much Needed Inspiration!

I decided to attempt the Muffin Tin Challenge, as I needed some motivation!  I cannot remember the last time I made some new jewelry, just have not been feeling very creative.  You can read about Heather Power's Muffin Tin Challenge here on her Blog.

So here is the filled muffin tin:  (Disclaimer:  I forgot to take a picture of the filled tin until after I already made one piece, so the bracelet in the far back is one of the final pieces).

And here are my completed pieces:

Crystal drop from Michaels, Brass chain and findings from Lima Beads.

This piece was inspired by Heather's Art Bead Scene 12 Days of Christmas - Day 6: Frosted Evergreen Necklace.  Matte Amazonite roundelles, brass chain, Vintaj ring and African recycled glass bead from Lima Beads.  Scallop Shell from Dime Store Emporium.

Fancy jasper roundelles and brass heart charm from Michaels.  Brass chain from Lima Beads.

Rainbow hematite star beads from Michaels, seed beads and silver plated chain from Lima Beads, toggle clasp from Goody Beads.

Czech roundelle crystals and cultured glass button from Lima Beads.

Beaded chain and clasp from Lima Beads.

So I just realized there is another bracelet I made out of the components in the tin, that I cannot find!  So that's weird....

Wait, found it!  Here it is:

Anyway, I'm very happy with all the pieces I completed, and even made a few more afterward.  I think I will do this again, and make up six more pieces!
