So? Am I a photographer yet?



I've been playing with our new digital camera and my new light box trying to figure it all out so I can take good pictures of my jewelry.

So? What do you think? This is a pink and blue stretchy chain maille bracelet. I've had a difficult time getting the pink to show correctly. Still not quite sure I've got it right, but if you click on the picture, it will open to a larger size that shows the colors better.

Comments are greatly appreciated.

Success! And a gift for you


I'd like to thank the tech support staff at Coffee Cup Software for their assistance in solving my web page problems. It's still not perfect but at least I can update it now.

Because I'm so pleased to have this problem resolved, I'm offering 10% off on all purchases if you let me know you've read my blog. If you see me at a show or at the Community Market, let me know you read about the discount in my blog. If you aren't local, you don't lose out on the discount. Since my shopping cart still won't process orders properly, just send me an e-mail with your order and let me know that you read about the discount here in the blog and I'll take 10% off your total. We'll work out payment arrangements when I respond to your e-mail.

Sometimes I just forget to think

I have been fighting for months to get my shopping cart on my web site to work properly. No success so far.

I have been fighting for days to get my updates to show up on my web site. No success so far.

It finally dawned on me that, while I can't put a shopping cart on my blog, I can put the updates here. The only real change to my home page was my show schedule for the rest of this year. So, for anyone who might be local and interested, here's where I'll be:

November 1 & 2 Bedford Women's Club, Bedford Elementary, Bedford, VA
November 8 Fray Educational Center Winter Festival, Rustburg, VA
November 15 Smith Mountain Lake Fall Craft Show at Mariner's Landing
November 21, 22, 23 Festival Of Trees at Amazement Square, Lynchburg

As always, I have my spot at the Heritage Crafters Gallery at the Lynchburg Community Market. I try to be there personally on Wednesdays and Fridays between 10 and 2 and will be there on Saturdays in December. Remember, I don't have to be there for you to make a purchase or take a closer look at something you like. Just go to the cashier's office in the back (by the Christmas tree) and ask for someone to open the case for you.

I look forward to seeing some of you at one of the shows or the Market. If you go, let me know you read my blog and you'll get 10% of the total of your purchase. (Unfortunately, this offer is not available at the Community Market unless I'm there personally to assist you.)
