I can’t believe how much Halloween jewelry I have accumulated!  In addition  to John Wind, which we still have more to add, I have some items of my own design!  Some of my jewelry incorporates framed pieces from Art by Amy, while others are a mix of beads and other pieces I have picked up here and there.  Once everything is listed, I have no doubt that there will be “something for everyone”– from simple to BOLD, and everything in between.  Please check back often as it will take us a few days to get it all listed.  Also, since most of these items are either the last available or one of a kind, once they are gone, they’re gone!! 

If jewelry is not your thing, I have Halloween Decorations for your Halloween Feather Tree.  Most of those items are already listed and ready to go, but I do have a few more to share with you.

Slow, but sure. — getting some more Halloween items listed.  Thanks to my sister and daughter, I finally have some more jewelry available online!  We have a lot to finish, but there are some fabulous bargains to be had!  If you love John Wind Maximal Art Jewelry, take a look at the gorgeous Halloween necklaces, bracelets and charms that we are listing.  These are 2009 styles no longer in the line.  Since they are company close-outs, John Wind gave us very special prices, so are passing them along to you!  If you thought that you could not afford these incredible designs, take a look.  You are in for a very pleasant surprise!  Don’t wait too long since I only have one of each item.

Well, we are in to the Patriotic season.   Thanks in part to my parents, I love Red, White & Blue!  I really need to get working on items for 4th of July, where has the time gone?  I do have a couple of feather trees listed, but need to get some larger ones made.  Some other Patriotic items that I have, but have not listed yet, are paper style ornaments and some jewelry.  Why am I so behind?  It’s not like I can get anything done outside with all of the rain, so what have I been doing?  Hmmmm, I have been trying to get caught up on paper work, but that isn’t going very fast.  I usually end up working on jewelry, or some other craft.  One thing that has been keeping me busy is all of the Belly Dancing Silk Veils that I have been getting orders for.  I love dying them and seeing how the colors and patterns transform as they dry, but this is done with a steam iron.  I have to put the ironing board right in front of the air conditioner.  At least I have air conditioning!!

I hope that everyone’s summer is going well so far.  It has been rainy for the last few weeks and now you can add Hot and Humid.  Yuck!!!  My “plan” is to post update a little more often, but you know the saying about the “best laid plans”…..  Keep cool everyone!

Hello Everyone!  It has been a busy month or so for us, I can’t believe I haven’t been able to find time to work in my gardens.  I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying all the flowers that are in bloom. 

My sister, Connie, and I were recently at the National Halloween Convention.  Since she and I both have stores on-line, we decided to pack up some of our items and put together a booth at the show.  Wow….. we had no clue what we were getting into!  Our first suprise was seeing how much stuff we actually have, we couldn’t get it all in the van!   After sorting through everything and leaving a lot of items behind, we finally got on the road about six hours later, we got to our hotel around 1:00am.  After a few hours of sleep, it was time to head to unload and set up.  Wow again!  Who know it could take so long to unpack and decorate a small booth?  We had feather trees, ornaments, jewelry and some other items.  There was a nice selection of both John Wind and Art by Amy, in addition to some of our own designs.  I could go on, but I think you get the idea.  It was a great experience, and I know we learned a lot about how to make things easier for us for the next time.  It was also great to meet everyone from Spookytime Jingles. 

For those of you who have not experienced “Art by Amy”, I found this video, Amy talks about her jewelry, that will give you a little insight to the artist and her art.  Make sure to check it out!
