Just got back from the Gem Faire

Wish I had more money to spend, but my jewelry sales have been gradually decreasing over the last two years. I don't know if it's due to the economy, or if people just don't like me/my jewelry. (In my twisted mind, me & my jewelry are one in the same). Anyway, my dear friend Lisa agreed to hold my hand as we navigated ourselves through the craziness of the Gem Faire. She's great, she brings almonds, she helps me remember what beads I'm looking for, and best of all, she keeps my budget on track. That part wasn't hard this time because my budget consisted of a few nickels and dimes.

But in spite of my measly budget, we did come back with a few fun things including some turquoise, rhodocrosite, jade, and some really fun shell chips in bright colors. I'm glad to say that I feel a little more motivated to make some new things now that I have some new beads to work with.

More good news...I've decided to permanently extend my Bead Sale that I posted about below! Just let me know when you want to come over and pick out some beads. Also, I'm thinking about teaching jewelry making classes. Let me know if that is something you are interested in.
