Share the beauty, share the love!
Long before I started doing glass and making jewelry, I was a writer. I still am.
And I do love a story, writing them, reading them, hearing them. One of the great things about selling art glass jewelry is meeting the wonderful people who are interested in my work and buy it as a gift for someone special. At Christmas, a granddaughter bought a butterfly pendant for her grandmother, whose nickname is “Butterfly”. Often a boyfriend buys something his girlfriend picks out, or a husband tells his wife, “Go ahead – treat yourself”, or a mother buys for her daughter, or a friend for another friend. I enjoy seeing the faces light up, the buyer’s joy at finding something “just right” for someone special to them.
On Feb. 5 & 6, 11 to 3, I will be having a “Valentines’s Day Love Story” sale of my art glass jewelry at My Just Desserts, 31. E. Broadway, Alton, Illinois, a lovely place to have a delicious lunch, see the river from the windows, stop on your way to eagle-watch, and have a slice of homemade pie, truly the “Best Pie on the River Road!” http://myjustdesserts.org/
I hope you stop by and take a look at my handmade, locally crafted dichroic glass jewelry. Maybe you will find something special for someone you love, or for yourself. If you do, I hope you’ll share your story with me – because I do love a story!
And while you are there, you might want to order a Red Velvet Cheesecake for Valentine’s Day (pictured above). It’s sure to be a big hit! (I bought the My Just Desserts Red Velvet Cup Cakes last year – you won’t be sorry!)
I had such a lovely time here last year – a delightful way to usher in the holiday season & re-visit my former home town of Webster Groves, Missouri – this event puts you in the right mood for holiday celebrating and shopping. I will be there with my glass jewelry & small dishes and my friend Tabitha, the Knitting Journeyman, will be there with her handmade treasures too…Buy local – buy handmade – give art from the heart!
The latest thing in fused glass – “crinklized”! I kept firing the pendant and the color became more vibrant each time.
Perfect to go with your favorite jeans! These lapis-look dyed agate stones look like denim. Small round blue beads are sodalite. With cream spacer beads.
Necklace & earrings – set for $30.
