Katrina Relief Fund

I, along with hundreds of other Indie Shops across the US and Canada, am participating in the Craft Revolution/Etsy Crafter's United Fund. Donations of handcrafted goods are displayed on this site http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=3146 and all proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross Hurricane Relief Fund, which is providing hot meals to victims and rescue workers, as well as providing other much needed assistance such as shelter, medical needs and even therapy for victims. Please visit the site and particpating shops and help the victims of Katrina.

In addition to my participation in the shop I will be donating 30% of the sales from my site www.Rosemarybeads.com to the Red Cross through the month of September.

Above is the necklace and earrings (3 pairs) I'm donating to the Craft Revolution/Etsy site. The necklace is .999 Thai silver/Greek Leather, $29 and the earrings are $17, shipping is free in US. They will be there as soon as they can upload them. Thanks for your support!

Pink Champagne and Chocolate

Isn't that a great visual? Sitting on the veranda of the Hotel de Fere sipping a flute of Champagne and eating a chocolate truffle...well that is what the colors in this necklace reminded me of anyway! I haven't been to the Hotel de Fere yet...but plan to one day! Meanwhile let's enjoy the jewels...

Monday Monday

Got some new things up on the site finally! Here is one necklace that's new. Really realy nice quality round freshwater pearls wrapped to silver rings. So gorgeous for a wedding! Or anything really... pearls will always be in fashion! Check out the new stuff & have fun! See you Thursday at the designer jewelry night at Fleurs and Finds in N. Raleigh! :)

Couple new things...

I am now at Fleurs and Finds in North Raleigh come check it out! I have mostly earrings for now...and I made most of them for the store so they aren't on my site. Here are a couple new pieces to see...the turquoise, sodalite, coral and lime pearls in this necklace are stunning together! And the pearl earrings are my current favorites. I love this style, length and color. In fact I like them so much I think I'm keeping these :) But if you'd like a pair for yourself just let me know!

Wednesday

Spa Fresh Magazine used one of my earrings in their article about the healing power of turquoise! All the different colors of turquoise are really gorgeous... goes to show you how everyone has such different styles. These are turquoise rondelles with tiny fine silver (.999) flower beads. Read everything you wanted to know about facial cleansers and spa treatments, along with spa cuisine (looks great I love scallops!)http://www.spafreshmag.com/

Busy busy!

I am getting ready for Fleurs and Finds accessory show, August 25 at 7:00. http://www.fluersandfinds.com/newsmanager/templates/fluers.aspx?articleid=2&zoneid=13.
