Busy Cleaning

I have been working thru my jewelry inventory and cleaning where need be.  Sterling does seem to tarnish so easily where there's humidity. Try this fabulous product: jewel brite. It can be used for silver, gold, pearls-just about any piece of jewelry-even vintage!  It's very gentle, but does the trick. Wonderful stuff! 

What a beautiful morning.  I just uploaded this reserved listing on cadreams.etsy.com.  I love these colors!  I love the pearls!  Can't wait to start 'needing' to wear a sweater.  Think I'll hunt out all my autumn colored components and see what ideas I come up with.  Make your day a good one!

New Stones

Fun Stuff!  I found these beautiful petrified corals stones the other day.  Love that they look like flowers!  Should make up into very pretty Fall/Autumn jewelry.  I'm looking forward to the cooler weather.  And the maples turning color-great time of year! 

Jitters

My first blog....! I've always loved keeping a journal, so this will be fun too. Today I'm having 'creative' issues. I have been making and selling jewelry for a couple of years now. It all started in Hong Kong. I found some beautiful freshwater pearls for my daughter's 18th birthday and caught the 'pearl' bug!! I love pearls. All colors, shapes and sizes. When I returned to Taiwan, I went to the Jade market and found more pearls. I bought pearls at the local 'morning' market and pearls online and pearls in Thailand. Love, love, love having a selection of pearls for designing/making jewelry. I was mainly making earrings and bracelets for friends and family, when my husband said, "Why not try selling them?" So I opened a shop on etsy and it feels really good to be 'in league' with other 'handmade' sellers! Visit me at:

Can't make up my mind today on whether to use the pearls or the moonstones or the aquamarine-maybe I should go take another walk!

Beautiful day for it-light rain falling......
