Hi All
Do you want to get $25 for free for anything you want?
Check out Revolution Money Exchange (RME). It's a new bank option to send and receive money that's free of fees and charges. If you sign up an account they'll send you $25. And if you let me refer you to sign up (I'll send you a link) I will receive $10! https://www.revolutionmoneyexchange.com/
You can spend the money at an online shop that takes RME (http://www.etsy.com/ has awesome stuff just search RME) or you can just send it to your bank account free.
I've already signed up because I sell jewelry and supplies online (http://www.rosemarybeads.etsy.com/ and http://www.rosemarybeads.com/) and I love it! It works similar to Paypal but there are no fees so if you buy online it's worth it. Please let me know if you want to sign up and I'll send you a referral.

ETSY come on and look!

2007-10-07T22:19:00.000-04:00

Ah so much time goes by! Let's see what's happened since my last post...I had a baby, took a leave of absence from work, had nasal surgery to remove a golfball size mass in my nasal cavity (benign thankfully!!) which was worse than a csection.

BUT I now have my ETSY store open for business! Mainly beads and findings and ...well...who knows what will turn up for sale! Check it out www.rosemarybeads.etsy.com and let me know what you think!

2007-01-25T09:07:00.000-05:00

The Christmas rush has come and gone...but it never really slows down. This is a very good thing! I must allot more time for the blog as this seems to fall by the wayside when I get busy! Here are a few new additions:

New look

2006-11-13T22:41:00.000-05:00

I've been hacking away at the code and I think the blog is looking pretty nice right now! I'm still tweaking it as it looks a bit skewed. Hopefully I can figure it out.

I've been hard at work keeping up with stores and orders. I'm taking pictures but they have been turning out like crap lately! Here's a recent (and semi-decent) one

Inspiration is where you find it

2006-08-29T20:04:00.000-04:00

I've been a slave to color lately... I feel such great satisfaction when pieces like this come together! Hope you enjoy them :)

Some things you're sure to like

2006-08-11T07:15:00.000-04:00

Some eye candy to start your day! Hope you like what I have coming for the fall! TGIF! :)

Back!

2006-07-08T19:11:00.000-04:00

Well I'm back in the studio after a wonderful and much needed vacation! My parents' neighbor is a fireworks technician in PA and he set off a spectacular show in his backyard on the 4th. It was so wonderful to watch from the deck with a cold drink and not have to fight for parking with 50,000 other people! I'm easily amused but it doesn't get much better than that!

Now I'm just catching up on orders that came in while I was away (and cleaning up after leaving a husband and 2 dogs alone for 2 weeks...can you say "yikes"? And looking forward to fresh fall jewelry with a new creative zest! :)

Summer Hiatus!

2006-06-02T10:29:00.000-04:00

Rosemary Thornton Studio will be on hiatus from June 14-July 6.
Regular jewelry orders placed before June 14 should ship within 3 business days. Custom orders and engraved medical jewelry "should" ship by June 14. If there is a delay I will notify you.

You may still place orders during June 14-July 6, and items will be processed, however all orders placed during this time will ship after July 7. Happy Summer!

Indie Finds in Deep Magazine!

2006-05-11T10:16:00.000-04:00

This is our ad on pg 7 of the June/July issue of Deep Magazine! Beautiful job by the www.Indiefinds.com ad team! My medical bracelet is the 2nd row from the bottom, 2nd from left. Lots more stuff in the works so stay tuned!

Autism Awareness

2006-04-30T18:36:00.000-04:00

Here are a few samples of the autism awareness bracelets I have at Fleurs and Finds Boutique in N. Raleigh. The owner, Dotty, has a grandson with autism and a portion of the proceeds from this jewelry is being donated to the autism research foundation. On May 6 Dotty is also having a tag sale in the morning - then at 7 pm she's having music on the lawn so bring a chair and stop by! Another reason to stop by is to enter in the raffle to win a necklace, bracelet and earrings set from Rosemary Thornton Studio. Pink pearls and beautiful faceted rose quartz!
The necklace is shown above...tickets are $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00. Good luck!!

Rosemary

2006-04-25T20:45:00.000-04:00

My good friend and fellow artist north of the border Kellie, of www.kelliesutton.com, named a pair of earrings after me! Isn't she sweet? And these earrings are just sweet enough to eat!
http://store.kelliesutton.com/do/ppa/64/2/Rosemary.html

Ooooh Necklaces!

2006-04-04T19:56:00.000-04:00

Just realized it's been awhile since I made any...so here is one of the new ones. More on the way! I truly love the shimmer and color of these lime green shell beads! Here is a pair matching earrings
along with the watch in the previous post.

What time is it?

2006-03-28T17:53:00.000-05:00

I can tell you with 5 new watches! One of my stores requested them so I tried them out and am very pleased with the first batch! Shell is big for the spring and pearls are always in style. The bands are interchangeable for a new look every day!

Indie Finds is here

2006-03-21T14:49:00.000-05:00

I am excited to be a part of a unique group of designers and e-store owners called Indie Finds (www.indiefinds.com). We pool our resources and accomplish more as a group than we could alone. Our press release came out today and can be read here: http://www.indiefinds.com/pressrelease.html

We are feaured in our first 2 page ad in Bust Magazine hitting the stands on March 28!

Busy weekend

2006-03-13T16:47:00.000-05:00

Spent the weekend making a bunch of new bracelets. I've got a couple new stores in the works so I'm trying to be prepared :) Here's a snippet of the new stuff....

Changes coming!

2006-02-07T20:38:00.000-05:00

First the news...I'm in the process of changing my name!!! Nope it won't be a drastic change but... I am changing to Rosemary Thornton Designs (www.RosemaryThornton.com). I already have the URL pointing to my site so go ahead and try it out for a test spin! :)
I think "beads" doesn't accurately portray my business future as I get more into working with silver and soldering. This name will be carried on with me for many years! I've made a few new things but I haven't been able to get good pics lately...the lighting is off. So I decided to take this opportunity to give kudos to other people's things I love! The first is a handbag by Leigh-Ann Klein (http://www.leighannkline.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=194) I love the blue and champagne ribbons! All of her bags are works of art and she has many tasty treats on her site!

Next is Polly's Cakes (www.pollyscakes.com). More artwork...this time edible! Just plain fabulous! I might even start celebrating birthdays again if I had one of these cakes! More later...

New things

2006-01-22T08:09:00.000-05:00

Here are a couple new pieces. I have been making a lot of new things...and trying out a different style. Large pendants and semi-precious!

Looking forward!

2006-01-18T09:01:00.000-05:00

To another great year...no wait ...even better! I've got lots of things in the pipeline so stay tuned to Rosemarybeads in the coming months.

Happy Friday!

2005-12-09T09:21:00.000-05:00

I can't help but smile when I see these faceted citrine earrings. The flower and the warmth and sparkle of the stones could brighten up even the dreariest winter day.

The holidays are fast approaching! I wish I could buy an hour a day to do everything I need to do~ I'm happy to say I have been very busy this year and thankful that so many people appreciate handcrafted work. I want to share a site I just found that is just stunning. http://www.anandakhalsa.com/ This artist is too awesome for words! Some of the most gorgeous things I've ever seen - I'm tempted to have a "Merry Christmas to me" moment right now. Her jewelry is something you must see to believe - go check it out!

I'm live!

2005-12-01T21:59:00.000-05:00

If you have been to Rosemarybeads in the last half hour you will see a big difference! I have a newly updated site and I can also now take credit cards on my secure server! Shoshanna Love from Aeolidia.com designed the site and it's just spectacular. I can't stop looking at it :)
So here are a few new pieces to show off with my new lovely gray stone background. I'm liking it ..what do you think?

Happy early Thanksgiving!

2005-11-20T20:01:00.000-05:00

I'm thankful to be busy this holiday season! It's also the 2 year Rosemarybeads anniversary.
Been working hard getting my new site finished and getting some new things made! Tentative date for the debut of the new site is Nov. 30. It would be great if I could get it done before Christmas. I have to hurry for a number of reasons and this optimistic date is giving me a goal to shoot for. I will send a newsletter when the new site is live so be sure to sign up!

Time is flying!

2005-10-22T07:44:00.000-04:00

I can't believe it's Oct. 22 already! We're going cub scout camping tonight at the lake. My son is beyond excited! Hubby is staying there with Sean and I am staying home with the puppy dog so I am beyond excited to have some time do some jewelry tonight! I have to catch up on orders plus I have a party, 2 shows and a store to stock up. Wish I could buy an extra hour a day! Here are some new things that haven't made it to the site yet...

As Seen In...

2005-09-30T19:02:00.000-04:00

Honored to be seen on 2 sites currently: Style Bakery Designers on the Rise and Wickedly Chic Venus Envy. How cool is that?!

Something new...

2005-09-25T19:05:00.000-04:00

Some new things for my Premier Line! I have been asked to create some upper end pieces for something I'm working on for the future. The bracelet on the left is unusual and gorgeous blister pearls with garnet, labradorite, and peridot. If you turn it over you can see the pearls are embedded into the mother of pearl shell. Sooo pretty! The bracelet on the right is called Golden Lotus and it's made with beautiful coin pearls, gold, peridot, tanzanite, and amethyst on the dangle. I'm having so much fun with these and letting my imagination go that I'm sure there will be more to come! :)

New! Talisman charms

2005-09-15T06:46:00.000-04:00

I added a new piece yesterday that I especially like. It's a simple charm necklace but it is also a powerful talisman! It's a sterling silver ball chain with an Egyptian ankh (love and long life), a cresent moon and star (love, wisdom and well being), a faceted garnet (luck) on a ring (circle of life) along with a Rosemarybeads signature "Ro" tag. Very simple yet very meaningful. Wear it alone or layered; sure to become a wardrobe staple.

Some stones are notoriously hard to photograph as they look darker than they are, however this piece features a pretty wine colored faceted garnet. Other talisman charm necklaces will have different charms and stones. Check back soon to see :)

Fleurs and FInds Boutique

2005-09-10T13:54:00.000-04:00

Just got back from Fleurs and Finds Boutique in N. Raleigh. Dotty has so many cool and gorgeous things there it's too hard to decide what to get! I decided on this rich pumpkin colored scarf and these great long beads! The scarf is rayon but looks like silk; it's about 6 ft long and 2 ft wide so it can be used as a shawl or as a scarf around your neck this winter or even as a belt! She has several gorgeous fall colors in stock (off the top of my head I remember sage, mustard, turquoise, lime)... and they're only $15.99! Stop in and see them or give her a call.

The beads are 5 strands of mixed seed beads and each one is over 5 feet long!! I'm 5'5" and they're about my height. You can wear these as a belt or double it up and wear it as a lariat! That's $8.99 for over 30 feet of beads! She has blues and harvest browns like the one I got. Oh and I didn't mention the beaded purses, furniture, jewelry, flowers and so many other great things!
Fleurs and Finds: 11125 Six Forks Rd. Raleigh 919-844-7946.

Pink Champagne and Chocolate

2005-08-23T20:24:00.000-04:00

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

2005-08-22T20:43:00.000-04:00

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...

2005-08-10T09:28:00.000-04:00

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

2005-08-03T19:36:00.000-04:00

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!

2005-08-01T20:34:00.000-04:00

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. Also getting my newest pieces made and photographed...so much to do! I thought I woould start adding some websites I've found while surfing around that I like...I'll start with www.pollyscakes.com. These cakes are nothing like the run of the mill cakes we all know and love...these are spectacular! Really cute and original! Have your cake and eat it too!

Green Amethysts

2005-07-12T14:01:00.000-04:00

Be the first to see! I got these beads at the gem show...rare and beautiful natural sage green amethyst tear drops and ceamy coin pearls accented with silver, gold and peridot. It's just phenomenal! I haven't got this onto the website as of right now but will in the next day or 2. This one is going into the premier collection! :)

2005-07-11T09:42:00.000-04:00

Went back and got more of these pearls they're just too great to pass up! Now I need to make a necklace and earrings to match...:)

These are cream colored, very beautiful keishi pearls.
Here's a definition I found: Keishi pearls are accidents of the pearl's culturing process. They form from oyster mantle that is attached to the mother-of-pearl bead that is inserted into the oyster. Keishi, always irregular in shape, occur in Japanese and South Seas culturing processes. Usually they are silvery, white or black in color; occasionally a fancy colored one is born.

New Stash!

2005-07-09T16:07:00.000-04:00

Just got back from a gem show...got some great new pretties at great prices which I will happily pass on to my customers! Can't wait to start creating with these... check back soon to see what I come up with! :)

New silver

2005-07-07T10:38:00.000-04:00

Had a few minutes to create some pretties last night! Just got some great new silver straight from Thailand and couldn't wait! These are the new bracelet creations using coral, amethyst, and peridot.

Just too gorgeous! Must make more!

I also had an itch to do some wire wrapping. Admittedly I don't do a lot of it because it is very time consuming and time is my most precious commodity! However I love the delicate way it looks and I am sure more of this will be coming. I tend to go through stages in my designs and I feel this one blooming as I speak.
Some earrings to match of course... These pearls are really spectacular! Hope you like them!

Tuesday update...

2005-06-28T13:03:00.000-04:00

Last Saturday at the Fleurs and Finds grand opening went great - thanks to all who stopped by to say hello! It looks like I will be having some of my pieces there soon... as soon as I can get everything worked out and get back up there. I will post here when I am. I haven't been as creative or as prolific as I would like lately. I've been busy working on some medical bracelets and custom orders. I'm also working on getting some jewelry tags made for wholesale accounts. So just some "behind the scenes" stuff right now... however I did manage to get a few pairs of new earrings made and hope to post them this week.

This just in!

2005-06-23T11:51:00.000-04:00

I'm very excited to tell you that Dotty from Fleurs and Finds in N. Raleigh has asked me to participate in her grand opening festival on Saturday! She has an awesome boutique filled with unique furniture, housewares, jewelry and gfts. I will be there from 10-4 with a lot of my pieces so come on out and see us! The store is Fleurs and Finds (www.fleursandfinds.com) at 11125 Six Forks Rd. Stop and say hello :)

Vacation woohoo!

2005-06-13T08:30:00.000-04:00

I'm off this week. Spending some time with my son. We're going to paint some ceramics today and tomorrow we're going to see Shark Boy and Lava Girl (can't wait lol). I'd rather see Mr. And Mrs. Smith but this is his time.
Taking this week off the jewelry biz too. You can send me orders but they won't be processed or mailed until June 20.
My new site is live as of about 2 weeks ago. Let me know what you think of the new format. Have a great and relaxing week! I know I will :)

Happy Memorial Day!

2005-05-29T21:18:00.000-04:00

I know some of you couldn't find me this past week while my site was down...or coming up I should say. Sorry about that! My computer crashed a couple weeks ago and I haven't had time to download the software my old site was on. So I couldn't even update that site. Anyway I'm back now and working hard to get everything up to speed. I'm taking a short break this holiday weekend - we went to the zoo today and walked around for 5 hrs. I'm now crippled and plan to spend some time in the studio tomorrow just sitting!! :) Hope you all have a great holiday!! Ro

I am here!

2005-05-24T15:10:00.000-04:00

I haven't blogged since 4/17! I am such a slacker! Actually I have been crazy-busy just haven't been telling you about it much! My bad.

Well tomorrow May 25 is L DAY!!! The day my new site goes live. So please - if you're reading this ahead of time - if the site is down briefly or we are experiencing technical difficulty that's why. Edited 05/30/06 RRT

Sunday am

2005-04-17T08:37:00.000-04:00

Been too busy to write! Gotta write quick we're going to the zoo. I love the zoo!! :) I am still working on my new site. There is so much to do. I want it to be very easy to use so I'm taking the time now to anticipate problems and what I need. It might be another month before it's live...meanwhile...I was surprised on April 7 when I had a half page article on medical bracelets and my name and site were mentioned. Very cool! It was actually an article that ran in the Wall Street Journal April 5 and the N&O so kindly picked it up and ran it! You can see it on my "as seen in" page or click here http://rosemarybeads.com/images/tn_N_O_040705.jpg. I was also amazed and very excited when Your Life! Magazine said they were featuring 2 of my bracelets - the (Ruby Jade and Sleeping Beauty) on their shopping page. See it here http://yourlifemagazine.com/shopping2.html. That's all for now...back to work!

Beautiful day!

2005-03-28T11:38:00.000-05:00

Wine and Roses

2005-02-26T21:59:00.000-05:00

Made a few new necklaces this weekend www.rosemarybeads.com/necklaces1 Pink will never be gone! It's such a sweet color and this necklace that I call Wine and Roses is delicate enough to go great with a sweater set or a white button up blouse. I've been working on the website quite a bit which has kept me from making as much new stuff as I wanted to...but what can ya do. It's giving me fits! I should just hire someone but I'm too stubborn! Ah well...I've figured it all out so far so hopefully it'll come together. As my boss says "The thing about getting older is you get used to being confused". SO true!!

Sunday night

2005-02-20T21:24:00.000-05:00

I took a break from jewelry today to clean my house! You may not know this but jewelry is my obsession and everything else seems to take a back seat... Well except my family of course. But do dishes and laundry or make a pair of earrings that I dreamed up last night...hard choice. NOT! Anyway all is spic and span now and I have tomorrow off (thank you presidents!!) so guess what I've got planned! I recently acquired some great hoop earring findings and some to die for garnet briolettes! I have to find wire small enough to go through the brios before I can make anything fabulous with them though- see the jewelry business is not as easy as it looks! I feel the need to create with leather so that may be the course of my day tomorrow...stop back and see what emerges!! Have a great week!

Tuesday

2005-02-15T20:36:00.000-05:00

Wow time flies when you're updating your website! I have been busy working with Bonnie at Birthdesigns.com on a new logo. She's come up with some great ideas so this has been a fun experience. I'm revamping my bridal jewelry so that's why you don't see it up right now. It'll be back soon - I hate taking a page down for maintenance!! I am getting a lot of hits a day from all over the world so I want everything to look great once it's published. I think once it's unveiled in a few weeks Rosemarybeads.com will be even better and easier to navigate. Oh and I have my shopping cart back up! Or I should say - shopping bag! It has been used and it works great and is secure so feel free to fill up your bag with goodies! Valentines day is over :( but Mother's day is not far away. Save your milk money for a mother's bracelet - your mom will cry I just know it!

Had an awesome day off today! I actually made some jewelry rather than playing with the website. I have a couple new earrings up on www.Rosemarybeads.com/earrings1 and two new necklaces www.Rosemarybeads.com/necklaces1. These are a sneak preview for colors coming on strong later in the season...I know it's early to be thinking about fall but I can't resist...blue and brown, and burnt sienna! It seems like I always like my new pieces the best...but I really like the colors in the blue/tan and blue/copper earrings. One of my new necklaces is made with carnelian...how can you not be drawn in by that warm burnt sienna color! The crystal color is Indian Red and it matches the carnelian so well. I really love carnelian with turquoise...I think I'm feeling an inspiration coming on! Let me know what you think of the new colors!

TGIF!

Well the snow never materialized this week. I could use some extra time off!

I forgot to mention that my press release has also launched a couple days ago! I'm pretty excited about it

Also new on the site are my medical alert jewelry and my awareness line; Both special to me because I feel like they're good causes. I'm working on my jewelry this week end and will have some fabulous new pieces up very soon. Have a great weekend!

Had a great day today! I have been invited to be in the April 1 edition of "Designers on the Rise" at StyleBakery.com! No joke! I will post a reminder closer to when I'm there so you can check it out. Here's the link for now http://www.stylebakery.com/stylerecipes/DORoct/jewelry.html.

We're supposed to get freezing rain tomorrow/Thurs which could mean a snow day. I'm sure I could find something to do! Like work on my jewelry orders or maybe my new Awareness line!

Welcome!
