I’m Appalling… I Know.

But hopefully I’ll get better with the updates!!  I do have some new pieces to start showing though so here’s one!

In other news, I’m just back from the Strawberry Festival in Cape May, New Jersey.  I love Cape May.  It’s a great town and simple to find – take the Garden State Parkway all the way to the very, very southermost end, and there you are.  It was great to see so many people out enjoying the day.

Personally, we’re expecting another baby this fall.  A little boy this time.  My husband is delighted as am I.  I love my girls but it will be nice to see both sides of the coin, so to speak!

Ok, I’m off for now.  Now that the Strawberry Festival is over, I’m really hoping to get back in the swing of web updates so watch out!!





It’s Up!

14 04 2008

The new and improved website design that is!  There are still a couple of tweaks I’m working out but it’s my hope that folks’ll find this a lot more user friendly…

The new site features:

  • A much lighter and brighter look!
  • FAR less scrolling!!
  • Categories that make more sense!
  • Links on the left instead of the right for easier use by people with smaller screen resolutions!
  • Date of latest update so folks can see if it’s been updated since they were last there!
  • A gallery of custom and favorite sold pieces
  • Useful items for sale that weren’t on there before such as earring backs, necklace extenders, plain sterling chains, leather cords, and anti-tarnish tabs!
  • New SALE page!

What am I hoping to add down the road?  Well, I’d love to add a search feature but I’m finding that the coding for that is a bit above my ability at this point.  I will also be adding lots and lots of information about various metaphysical properties of the semiprecious stones I use because, basically, *I* find it interesting!  (Which is why I’d love a search feature – because then one could read about fluorite, say, and then search for jewelry with fluorite in it!)  Obviously, new jewelry will be added, various sales will come and go, the jewelry offerings will change seasonally and…

I’m also committing (with the exception of the week in which I’ll be in the hospital) of updating the website once every week to ten days!  I really am.  I’ve got a calendar all mapped out.

So!  Check out the new and improved website.  Let me know if you find any glitches or if there is any feature *you’d* like to see added!  Here’s hoping for the best!





2008 Newington Chamber of Commerce Showcase

29 03 2008

Hi all!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by my booth at the Newington Business Showcase today.  It was my last show before baby arrives so it was kind of bittersweet.  I’m hoping to see you all at my next show — whenever it winds up being, you’ll find out first here!

In other news,  I hope to have my revamped website up and running by April 15th.  Yep, tax day is my d-day for this!  Now, if I were only so diligent about getting my tax stuff to my accountant…
