Belly Dancing/ Dancing Inspired Jewelry




I haven't worked with Antique Silver Plated Charms or Chandeliers before like this and I have found that I love them!!! They are so unique looking and add an old world look with a modern flair. I got the idea from my Aunt who enjoys belly dancing and she and her troup of dancers are always looking for decently priced jewelry as most dancing inspired jewelry is quite expensive. I hope to add this look to other jewerly pieces as well. Enjoy your day!!!

What a bummer....

Hello all~ As you can see from my blog, I created handcrafted jewelry pieces in my spare time and also design pieces upon request. Just a few days ago I unfortunately had an accident while cooking dinner and burned some of my fingers which has made it impossible to make any new designs. I have been soooooo bummed about this and soooo frustrated. I guess I didn't truly realize until now how much I really enjoy this outlet of my feelings. I guess the old adage is true that you never really know how much you care about something until it is gone (or in my case temporarily unavailable). I just started back working on new pieces today and I feel so much better.... Everyone needs an outlet for feelings or frustration (pick your outlet wisely)!!!

Why I love making jewelry at home!!!

I have a 3 year old daughter whom I love to spend time with. I love to watch her develop and grow and feel truly blessed that she is in my life everyday. I have also been lucky enough to be home with her for the past 2 years. I love being home with her but found that I was feeling a bit surpressed and torn... I loved being home and spending time with her but also felt I needed a little something to focus on!!! I have always been interested in creating jewelry but never took the time to do it. I finally decided to give it a go and here I am creating & selling via my Ebay store. I have come a long way from starting this venture a little over a year ago but it has been worth it. I feel satisfied that I tried something and am sticking with it!!! Hope everyone takes the leap sometime in the life and tries something they really enjoy =))))
