Shop (and Life) Update

It has now been over a year since I posted an update!  Unfortunately, life gets in the way sometimes.  I was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer back in January of this year, and everything else has kind of been placed on hold as I have been dealing with that.  But I have found time here and there to create, and have listed a few new Petoskey stone pieces in my Etsy shop, along with a few other fun things!

Aren't these turtle beads adorable? 

New Year, New Jewelry

Happy New Year!  Several more new Petoskey pieces coming to my Etsy shop soon, including some pieces made from slag glass.  Slag glass, or Leland Blue Stone, is a waste product from the smelting process used in the late 1800s by the Leland Lake Superior Iron Company melting process: raw ore is heated, and the desired iron ore is separated from various natural impurities. When those impurities cool, the result is stone-like slag. (Source: https://www.lelandmi.com/about/leland-blue-stones.html)

Hope to have all of these in my shop soon!
