Etsy Friends at the Virgnia Seafood Festival

Last year I had a opportunity to make some great friends on etsy. We started chatting in the forums and before you know it we were like sisters. There was someone you could always count on in this group of friends from the good times and the bad times. One day Chasingbeads said there was going to be a seafood festival near her place.  So I thought this would be a great way to meet each other, have a big booth and sell our crafts.  Now we are from different states. Chasingbeads from Virginia, Sheltie19 from Iowa, Mamawmeltshop from Illinois, Chevysue from Arkansas and of course preciouslinks (me) from Texas.   We had so much fun together, it was sad that we had to go back home.  Now the first 2 days the sales were terrible due to the weather. The last day almost made up for it with nice weather other than the wind knocking a few tents down around us.  We had a lot of laughs each night which made up for the bad day at the show. Here are some pictures of us in Virgnia.

Workspace

You never have enough workspace. So I thought I would show all the different places I had to find a place for my supplies and jewelry. And I have 2 workspaces that I use for networking and jewelry making. Do you think I have enough beads and findings.

March for respect-On the last Saturday in March, more than 5,000 of us will gather to walk a mile for respect. With your donations, who knows how far we can go. http://www.cdcdallas.org.

$10.00 from the sale of this necklace will be donated to the Citizens Development Center in Dallas Texas . The mission of CDC is to empower adults with disabilities through vocational training and employment. You can help raise awareness, and the spirits, for those with developmental disabilities.

This polymer clay pendant was created by LemachiDesigns . It has the features of someone running with a torch. A beautiful piece on a scroll copper chain that has copper rectangular beads. A copper toggle to complete the 18 inche necklace.

March For Respect

Hundreds of thousands of citizens living with developmental disabilities. Regardless of our differences, we all want many of the same things. To be loved and understood. To receive a fair chance. To find respect.On the last Saturday in March in Dallas,Texas more than 5,000 of us will gather to walk a mile for respect. Since I am disabled and unable to do the walk, I promote my awareness bracelets for the cause every year. Please check out my bracelets and see how far we can go with your help. Also donations are accepted at cdcdallas.org.

Honey Butter Mix

I love it when I make a piece of jewelry and I don't have to pull out all my crystals to see what will match with what I am creating. The best thing Swarovski ever did was to create a mix. This is a beautiful mix. This is a mixture of 6mm crystals with some AB. Has honey butter theme. There are 72 crystals or 1/2 gross in a package.

Pot of Gold Under the Tree of Life

This necklace was created with various semi precious stones, sterling silver round discs and swarovski oviline crystals. The tree of life pendant was created by naturaljewels.etsy. There is a gold filled bead under the tree. With St. Patricks Day just around the corner, I thought a pot of gold would bring anyone good luck.


Happy St Patricks Day
