Never, Ever Enough Time in One Day....

Time passes so quickly, I can hardly believe it is going to be St. Paddy's Day tomorrow. I have yet to really get this blogging thing down to a science. Much less do any of things I have set out to do with it...

I have added many new pieces of jewelry at awesome prices to my etsy.com site.

Here is my newest creation and one of fave stones, lemon quartz...these stones are quite large, clear and just succulent breath-taking gems....tell your friends to take a look at my shop. http://www.msssixtiesjewel.etsy.com/.

Lemon Quartz Quick Facts

Lemon quartz is known in folklore to enhance mood, ease ill thoughts and depression, it is a "feel good" stone! Just looking at this beauty gives me increased feelings of goodness. The stone gets its' color from a large content of iron and it is process treated with gamma rays for an increased in lemony color or this process sometimes yields a gorgeous orange color. It is also known as citrine. Without the iron content quartz can turn purple in color, known as amethyst...interesting, huh?

TTFN...next the magical mystical magic of Pink Tourmaline, another fave jewel.

Bejeweled Bracelet....

Well, I did it today. Made my first ever bracelet...and now I am on my way..to more. Check it out on www.msssixtiesjewels.ets.com It did not begin the way I had planned to, but the end result worked out just fine!

I began to make it with stringing wire but did not have all the stones I needed, nor did I feel I had all the right tools. So I will have to hold off on that style until I can get it just right. It is sure to be stunning though. I am very excited about it!

I am continuing to make very slow headway to my silver n sixties store. Getting my new banner and biz cards designed...and will begin to make the jewels soon, too. Being sick last weekend sorta set me back a bit, but now I am moving forward again.
