New Look for the Website



The new year got me thinking that my website needed an updated look and I am in the process of teaching myself Photoshop (not an easy thing to do) so I decided to combine the two and come up with a new look. I love what you can do in Photoshop and the "drop shadow" makes it all look so realistic.

So come take a look at the new site....My Website

Really Good Wire


If you think about it, you could put the most expensive components...gemstones, silver and crystals on any type of wire but in the end if it breaks, your expensive piece of jewelry is scattered all over the floor....never to be worn again.....I cannot stress how important it is to ask what wire handmade jewelry is made of. I use only the highest quality 49 strand, Teflon coated jewelry wire for all my pieces. I have been using the same brand since the beginning...it really is the best. It is water proof and rust proof. And it has a test strength of 26 lbs. You can rest assured that your jewelry will last a very long time from robin's pretties

Wishing for *S*N*O*W*

Around my house there is a lot of wishing and hoping for snow. My kids are wearing their PJ's inside out and just hoping for a day off from school.
Over this past weekend we went to visit family in Pittsburgh, PA and we saw lots of snow and it was so pretty...I wanted to share a few snowy pictures with you......

Why I only use SWAROVSKI CRYSTALS....



I feel Swarovski (pronounced Swore-off-ski) crystals are the highest quaility crystal made for beading. Swarovski crystals are meticulously crafted in Austria to the highest standards of quality. The beautiful color and unbelievable sparkle set them apart from other crystals. They are machine cut to provide flawless consistency. There is a rainbow of colors available which is wonderful because there is always a crystal to go with the mood of my creation. There are many knock-off type crystals that appear to be Swarovski but are not......and sell for a much lower price. You can be confident that my jewelry contains real Swarovski crystals. Here is an example of a "Points" Bracelet made with a beautiful
combination of colors : I have "Points" Bracelet available in single and Double Strands....to see more
