Rae circa 1976
now big enough for the shades
It all began when the clasp of my favorite necklace broke. I remembered seeing a bead shop downtown Philadelphia, and thought I’d try to find a way to fix it there. I entered the shop, and I stood there, mesmerized. That was 2002.
Now I’m a full-on bead addict. I scour the internet for unusual gemstone beads and findings for hours. I dream about wrapping briolettes. My fingers are tender from handling wire and tools all the time. As if those were not enough, it seems that I have now found a way to talk about my own work, on this very blog!
I thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you enjoy browsing… and please visit often. ;-)

Hi Rae
It’s so nice to fix a face to a name and you look gorgeous with and without the shades :)

Thanks, Karen! I keep losing my shades so I hope my current pair will survive this summer (the one in the bottom picture). :-)

You have a wonderful blog ! I enjoyed reading your comments on Etsy saturation. I find myself lowering my prices and have had people tell me the prices on my Jewelry are too low. I feel I have been enlighten by visiting your shop and blog. Your jewelry is simply lovely and your pictures are great. Your an inspiration!
