Days are flying by just like the seagull feathers that float down from the roof tops all over the downtown streets and into the building lobbies. I sleep at night, rise in the morning, head to work and in a moment as quick as the intake of a breath, the day is gone. I am loving spending more time in my shop. Talking with customers, fussing with displays, creating new arrangements of treasured beads and bringing to life the fantasies I had of owning a shop from the time I was a little girl playing store in my parent's garage.
I have made so many new charms and religious pieces of late. With the mailman bringing a whole package of my new castings today; I am tempted to burn the midnight oil and make things. I will get pictures up soon. Right now I am planning on Sunday being a studio day so perhaps I will begin the challenge of photographing silver charms along with making new jewelry from the freshest charm designs. Hot from the casting process!
Today, I helped a friend set up a blog and in the process I totally challenged this old brain of mine. Too bad brain exercise does not wear off calories. In any event, here is a picture of her upcoming book. I can hardly wait to read it and I feel lucky to have such a well traveled, smart and talented friend!
