DID ARTWARK DISAPPEAR? IM BA-ACK!!

Greetings everyone! I hope that you have all been having a wonderful new year....I have so much to update you on, so I will do my best in this posting...to begin you are probably wondering what happened with the custom photo pendant necklace giveaway and where i have been...as for the giveaway, as you read in the contest rules, i did require that at least 24 votes come in, and sadly, i only received 13 :( So I have decided that I will now be doing one giveaway per month. The necklace contest will continue to run until January 21st so be sure to vote to win if you are interested...its in the Dec 21 post.

As for where i have been...I had to get some things done in NYC SOOOoooo, we took a little minid vacation to the BIG APPLE!! It was tres fabulous!! And I went to see many sites with the family in a short amount of time. One of the highlights of the trip was a buying excursion that was SO spontaneous! The taxi dropped us off at the wrong block for my brother's meeting with a client of his and as we walked towards that office...TRUE destiny took precedent placing me directly in front of one of NYC's premier Gemstone wholesale shops. It was so incredible!! I will post some photos as soon as I can figure out how to get them off my cell phone!!

Anyhow, I am fully stocked up on GRADE A gemstones is favorites like Smoky topaz, turquoise, garnet, citrine as well as stone horn/tusk charms. You will be seeing lots of new fabulous pieces in the upcoming weeks in time for VALENTINES day! And there will be a new section in my Etsy shop for VALENTINES pieces as well in case you are looking for a LOVEY type gift :)

I am just thrilled with my trip to NYC and loving the look of dark brass paired with the many gemstone briolettes i bought!! So watch for some one of a kinders on Etsy as well as ebay auctions. Also keep in mind that I'm more than happy to do one of a kind custom orders for your special someone...Mom, sis, wife or anyone.

LAST agenda of the day: Some of you mentioned you like COWBOY/turquoise styles...well its your lucky day...I will be making some funky western themed necklaces and earrings using S.T.U.N.N.I.N.G turquoise tears in many sizes and finishes....lots of love to all!!

Feel free to leave a comment...i have missed you all so!!
