Something miraculous happened this weekend here in Ohio - the sun actually came out!! For the past few weeks, the weather has been crazy here. The week of Easter it was 70 degrees and sunny on a Wednesday, and two days later, it was snowing! So, needless to say, when the sun actually came out this past Saturday, I jumped at the chance to take some new pictures of my jewelry - ones that actually had some decent lighting.
I added the Cherry Drops earrings and Tan Mother of Pearl Drop earrings, updated the photos of the Chalcedony Sterling Silver Drop earrings, etc. The Lazuli Lapis Gemstone Hoops are so beautiful!! Some clouds hit when I was trying to photograph those (or maybe it was my 19-pound Maine Coon cat named "Bear" trying to "help" take the pictures. He's like a big, puffy black and white cloud). I'm going to try to take even better photos of them later this week (if the sun graces us with it's presence once again). So, for all of you who live in sun-starved regions like I do, I guess we'll just enjoy the nice weather when we have it :0).

My 1st blog...
My first blog! I've never done one of these before, so please bare with me. I'm excited though!! Hopefully this will help spread the word about my jewelry line, which can be found at www.StephaniesTreasures.etsy.com. I'd love to hear from fellow artists. Any advice or feedback - the positive and the constructive (like how I worded that?) would be appreciated.
A little bit about my jewelry line... I began making jewelry pretty recently actually. (I began doing it last month). My friend/co-worker has been doing it for a while and actually had us all over to her home about six months ago and taught us how to make our own earrings. I had been thinking about doing it on my own since then, but never did. Then, about a month ago, I started feeling like something was missing. I needed an outlet to express myself artistically/creatively. I went into a local craft store thinking I might want to try painting of all things. (I doubt I could paint to save my life, but thought it would be fun!!). While in there, I came across the bead/jewelry-making aisles (and never left). The next thing I knew, I had a whole cart full of earwires, beads, wire tools, etc.... Things snowballed from there. I discovered local Specialty bead shoppes, sources for gemstones, etc.
Currently, I have about 60 items for sale on my Etsy site. The jewelry line has been well received!! THANK YOU to all who have visited my Etsy store and to all who have purchased my lovely "treasures". Your patronage is appreciated!!
