Rainy Mondays ....

Ah ... rainy days are meant for curling up and being creative! (I think I am sounding a little bit like my friend C) I found these beads at a show from Lisa Beaman of Charlotte, NC. Her work is really wonderful and I love the fall colors. Browns, blues, red, yellow and greens. Just perfect for this one day in August that we will be at 70 degrees.

I have added it to the website http://sissyandjacks.etsy.com so take a look.

Planning for Fall .....

Well it is that time when I start to gear up for fall shows and there a several this fall starting with:

** The Designer's Downtown Market of September 12th http://www.blogger.com/www.designersdowntownmarket.com from 9-3. Lot's of great local (and not so local) artisans and local food.

** On Saturday October 10th I will be heading to Charlotte for The Craft Attack that is put on by the Charlotte Etsy Street Team in Independance Park from 10-5.

** Saturday November 21st (my b-day) I will be at the Durham Mariott Convention Center for the Junior League of Durham and Orange County Holiday Market.

New pieces being added each week so stop by the website http://www.sissyandjacks.etsy.com/.

Learning New Things ...

I love to learn new jewelry techniques and I am especially loving my new found metalsmithing skills. Check out the Copper Cuff that I made on Sunday (love the little dangle and my S&J stamp). Still working on the brass earrings using the same technique, so look for those soon .... Cheers!!
