The first 20 days of December have gone by very quickly... and with much *JOY* as well!!
So---I think it's time for me to "blog" some current events...
The 3rd annual Holiday Bazaar boutique show at Wellspring Spiritual Center included *us* on it's vendor list. (That's right--Chris and I shared a table this year!!) It was nice to be back there--I was one of the vendors there 2 years ago. It's a great place with a wonderful community. In addition to "Dawn's Jewelry & Greeting Cards" we sold items that we created together... "Chris & Dawn's Reused/Re-purposed items" including *FabricFlowers* and *Photo/Card Holders*... and "Chris' T-shirts--Namaste & Yoga"
My *first* Home Party Show was held on Sunday, December 12 (hosted by my wonderful sister, Tara!!) Lots of *Joyful Jewelry* was sold to delighted guests, and some *Photo/Card Holders* were purchased with much excitement. People have been asking me to do Home Parties for years. Now is the perfect time to begin--and I'm really looking forward to doing more--some with participatory themes (like designing your own jewelry!!)
Recently, I delivered a bundle of inventory to a (new to me) store (owned by a friend of a friend.) If you're in the Slatington. PA, area (or if you want to go for a *Joy* trip... Check out Kathy Jones' shop:
*TK&J -- A Unique Boutique of Uncommonly Cool Stuff"
7360 PA Route 873, Suite D, Slatington, PA 18080 610-767-0887
These are a few *Family Photos* of some of my jewelry, in groups...
*Joyful Medley* is pictured above (2 photos)
This Collection contains a variety of materials, including stones, pearls, glass, shell, wood, clay, leather, cotton, linen, silk, and more. Sterling silver is primarily used, occasionally with copper, brass and bronze. I love the unique harmony of down-to-earth and extraordinary elements in this collection. Each piece makes my heart sing with JOY.
*Joyful Gems* is pictured below(2 photos)
This Collection includes a charming collection of semi-precious gemstones, pearls, shell, crystals, glass, and more. Hand done wire wrapping, handmade clasps, and hammered pieces, all in sterling silver. I am enamored with this collection--each item used here is absolutely exquisite to me. Each piece makes my heart melt with JOY.
I've learned that taking *group photos* of jewelry is, perhaps, even more challenging than taking photos of *single* pieces... So, I know what I'll be working on more soon...
In the meantime--I'm still *creating* and *shipping/delivering* Holiday orders...
Looking forward to *sharing* Happy Holidays with family/friends/customers...
And anxious to share some new merchandise collections... Some that just haven't gotten to my Etsy shop yet... And some that are totally new collections that I am launching soon...
*Joy*Love*Peace* to *All*
