Well, vacation is over. What a nice, relaxing, productive vacation it was. I'd planned on going over to the coast for a week or so, to decompress, destress and relax, but...things didn't work out that way. Truth be told, as much as I wanted to, it seems I wanted new gemstones instead. Many gemstones. Many many. A gazillion I think. But, in my defense, just loooook at how shiny some of them are! Emerald and sapphire and topaz, OH MY! I'd have probably been ok to still hit the beach, for a few days at least, but while working on a new earring idea, I ran out of chain. Thinking I could just go pick a little up at the bead lady's place, I headed out. When I got there, it turned out she had more new shinies. And, I went apeshit. Again. But, I couldn't help it. I mean,... OMG BIG FACETED LABRADORITE DROPS!!!!!!!! I've never had such things before. I dream of them often. So, in my excited frenzy, I spent the rest of my vacation money. I mean, come on, what's a girl to do when confronted with that? Needless to say, I did not make it too the beach. Instead, I stayed home, pet all my new shiny, and began preparing for my new life as a jewelry maker. I am quite pleased actually. I used my time to... - Build a new website (how's it look?) -Got all caught up on some pieces I made a while back but never listed, like my ancient greek glass earrings... - Made, and listed, a few new pieces, like these little tourmaline babies... - Worked on reorganizing my new studio and started my bead wall... - Finally got caught up on some custom orders I've been struggling with... -Aaaaand...reopened my gem shop on Etsy..... ...because, lets be honest, I have a few too many gemstones..
Phew. That's a lot of stuff!! What a wonderful, very busy, very shiny, vacation. Go me.
