Good Morning!
Well, it seems that it might be a good idea to have a goal. So, now I have a goal - I am trying to reach 100 followers. When I reach that goal, I will be giving away a bracelet to one of those first 100 folks.
Can you help me reach that goal?
Also, I wanted to share a couple of Etsy Treasuries that feature one of my pieces of jewelry. You can take a look here: http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4de26016f3e46d911c1907ba/for-the-purple-people-of-etsy and here: http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4de2448249838eefa8ef1179/shades-of-blue

In the Beginning...
So this is where it starts. I have a blog. Now, the question is, what to write about.
This all started because I found myself somewhat handicapped. This led to my family giving me a gift of jewelry-making supplies - thereby giving me something to do within the restrictions by which I am currently bound. Well, I enjoyed it so much that, in no time, I had made over 100 pieces of jewelry. One little problem with that - I have no place to put 100 pieces of jewelry, let alone places to wear them. So, after a number of people saw what I was making and commented that they were certain I could sell what I was making, a business was born.
Now you know - I make jewelry. I use lots of crystals and pearls and semi-precious stones. My designs tend toward simple elegance. However, once in a while, a mood strikes me to try something different, or off-the-wall, or downright quirky. A lot depends upon what kinds of stones and beads I come across that I think would be interesting to work with.
To sell my treaures, I have opened a store on Etsy. It is called RomanticThoughts and can be found at RomanticThoughts.etsy.com In the midst of getting the shop up and running, I have also found a few vintage items that I thought could find new homes via my etsy shop. Hence, I have added those few items to my shop and will probably add more as I come across things that interest me.
Anyway, this is how it starts. We'll find out together how things progress. Thanks for visiting.
