New Pearls

We just got back from a wholesale jewelry show in Massachusetts last weekend and our big focus was on searching out specific items for custom orders that people were waiting for. We also bought a lot of silver -most of it was made in Turkey. The Turkish silver is very similar in design to the beads made in Bali and India, but there is a lot of contrast with the silver being very white and the antiquing very black. We'll be focusing on using the silver to make more watches since they were such a big hit at our last craft show.

With summer just around the bend, bare feet and sandals will be screaming for painted toenails and anklets. Before now, we only made anklets as gifts for special people; but they generated a lot of requests from people who saw them so we are adding them to the line. Look for them too.

As always, inspiration comes from everywhere. I receive a lot of feedback from the craft shows, but look forward to hearing your comments and ideas too.

Have fun...
