I will keep the blog and Facebook page updated with holiday market dates and possible holiday jewelry parties.

Wire-wrapped Utah Desert Rock Pendants

Time flies...

when you're having fun in the sun!  I can't believe the summer market season is already winding down.  I have been so busy.  I apologize for not updating with pictures more often this summer.  I also apologize because I will not be at the Cache Valley Gardeners Market until Sept.8 due to an emergency surgery with my kitty.  So, I have two scheduled markets left for the season and once those are done I will be looking to book some parties.  If anyone is interested in hosting one sometime this fall/holiday season please contact me.

These are some wire wrapped rock necklaces that I just finished
for a return customer order for her grandsons. I have been wanting
to work on some more masculine pieces so this was a good opportunity,
I hope they like them!

My favorite season is approaching an end...

But I'm still making lots of jewelry, or at least trying to keep up on a good inventory.
I will be back at the Park Silly Sunday Market this coming Sun. Sept. 11 and 25

Please feel free to contact me with any requests.
I can do custom orders and can mail anything.

Also, I now have this very handy device called The Square,
so I can now accept credit cards while at the market.
