Picture the lovely hills, rolling farms and fresh air that surround me as I craft my special creations for you. Sit and sip a cup of herbal tea with me as I make some jewelry or cards. Can you hear the clip clop of horses on the road?

Beads and Paper!!
The striations in stone always fascinated me and how I love rocks! I still have my "rock collection" of favorites! Geology seemed such a bland career choice... Perhaps that's why my special bead love is semi precious stone - that's a bit more interesting! Love to make semi precious stone necklaces, bracelets, earrings. Glass bead bookmarks and wine tags are a favorite now too. At my Etsy Shop you'll find unique wine tag sets for a wine lover, a beaded bookmark for a special bookworm, semi precious stone necklace, bracelet, earring for her - or for him. Believe it or not at some of my shows men have purchased for themselves!
And ah how I love paper... as far back as memory serves just put me in a stationary store and I'm lost for hours!! Sometimes I even make my own paper for my cards.

People were always asking where I got my unique jewelry. On finding out I design and make it myself, the next question was 'do you sell it' and at the time my answer was no since I thought my designs were far too simple. The reply was always the same: 'That's what makes the design so appealing!' Eventually... my answer was yes and so... here I am on Etsy with my semi precious stone jewelry.
Same thing with my cards, I'd take them along with me to write friends while I'm out and about and people would ask where I got 'those unique and pretty cards' and (again) on saying I make them and wanting to buy I'd come home empty handed with nothing to write on myself!
So many family heirlooms but not enough space! A few have been carefully selected to share with those who would love such treasures. Visit my eBay shop to take a look around
