Facebook

Long story short...

I had to create another page for my shops on facebook.  After a week of trying to merge the page to the profile without success... I gave up and started over again.  A new beginning so to speak.

The Zibbet Blog Feature

I am so excited that my interview is up on the Zibbet Blog today!!!

The hardest part was...taking photos of myself!  Here is the picture that I sent in.  I was being silly with my mannequin (yes I am standing and she is over 6 feet tall).

If you have a Zibbet Shop or have thought of opening one...Please, stop by and leave me a comment!  Haven't heard of Zibbet???  Check out all of the features and the best part of the site....the PEOPLE. 

Cool Summer Jewels

Leta has so many pieces of jewelry to delight every taste and pocketbook.  Her main shop is on Artfire and she is currently adding new pieces to her Zibbet Shop.  Stop in her shop,  do a little shopping and visit her on facebook.

Scratch another thing off the to do list...

I have wanted to change out the door knobs for a while now.  The front door did not have a lock, just a knob.  They were on sale at Home Depot... I love saving money.  I have installed many a lock in my day...these were the easiest ones I have ever done.  It only took about 10 minutes after the old knob was out.

New Locks...CHECK!

July is a big Birthday and Anniversary month in the family.  My Grandmother's birthday is tomorrow (she is no longer with us).  She would fly into town for a visit and we would all go to the airport to meet her.  Our daughters loved going to the airport.  Our oldest daughter's birthday is in three days. 

My new Kam Snaps arrived today and I got to finish my new Kitchen Wet Bags (for un papertowels, napkins, cloths).  It hangs off the handle of the stove.  I love the bright Vintage look of the oilcloth.  I also made some in blue with strawberries.

The wetbags, un paper towels, family wipes and kitchen cloths are listed in my Zibbet Shop.

Zen Necklace

The peaceful colors in this handmade ceramic pendant inspire a sense of zen-like calm. Aqua blues, lime green and jonquil yellows float over its textured surface and are reflected in the coordinating beads that wind up the vintage brass chain. Aqua twist oval glass beads are vintage; small rounds and translucent yellow flowers are Czech glass. A one-of-a-kind design.

Necklace measures almost 19" (48.25 cm) without the pendant, which is 1 3/8" (3.5 cm) in diameter. Necklace closes with a small brass-toned toggle clasp. Necklace can be shortened if desired. Please contact me when purchasing if you need a different length.

Pendant was handmade by Maine artisan Winchell Clay Works. http://www.WinchellClayWorks.etsy.com

Faerie Flowers Necklace

Magical and ethereal flowers bloom in the faerie garden. This handmade polymer clay flower pod pendant drips with dew made of silver-wrapped Czech glass beads in amethyst and clear vintage Czech crystals. The pod's stem is made of a pewter melon bead and wrapped sterling wire. A flowery antique silver toggle clasp blooms just above the pod.

Vining up from the pendant are Czech glass leaves and flowers in green with an AB shimmer, small Czech rounds in olivine with silver petal caps, a silver toned metal flower bead, and very unique rectangular, floral Czech glass beads in a blue-raspberry hue. The garden is suspended from a delicate sterling chain.

Necklace measures 18" (45 cm) to the clasp. The pendant drops down another 2" (5 cm).

Polymer clay flower pendant is handmade by Zuda Gay at Etsy. http://www.ZudaGay.etsy.com
