Hi Everyone! It's been a little while since I sent a newsletter. How is everyone enjoying their almost summer? I know a couple of you are in the midwest--you're in my thoughts with all the flooding. Half of my hometown is under water, which reminds me of what it looked like in '93. It's hot and sticky here. Thank goodness for AC! I took a bit of a break for a few weeks, but now I'm back in full force. Today alone I added nine new baubles and a bauble set to Hecate's. There's also a lovely lemon citrine and garnet necklace and matching earrings available, as well as a set in Dalmatian Jasper, which is one of my all-time favorites. The lemon citrine set shows off my new "soldering" talent, as I actually *made* all of those closed rings you see, and yes, I'm pretty pleased with myself ;) Waiting in the wings are some of the MOST AWESOME polymer clay beads ever, crafted by etsy artisan Alissa Plant (divadea on etsy). I'll be using these to create some light-hearted summer designs to be posted in the next week or so. If you're in the Bethlehem, PA area please stop by the Susquehanna Bank near Wegman's on 512. I am the proud "business of the month," and many of my designs are currently on display and for sale there at the branch. Friday is a good day to go--they've been having yummy soft pretzels for Customer Appreciation Day Fridays lately! They also have good free checking and a kick-butt staff. I would know, I used to work there. Don't feel bad about strolling in to look, either, just tell them I sent you! Don't forget, Summer is wedding season! If you are or know a bride, mother-of, bride's maids, etc, please stop by the shop and see what I can do to make the day extra-special. I'll be happy to design something unique just for you or adapt a magazine-found design for probably a lot cheaper than you'd find it commercially, especially for the ever popular Swarovski crystal and pearl designs. Even special orders are guaranteed. Some pictures are attached. The lovely little goddess is available at Be Witchy. Enjoy!
