How secure is your package?
This is a box containing items I ordered and intended to give as Christmas gifts. It took over 30 days to receive from the supplier through no fault of the post. I placed my order November 28 online and was informed that it had been shipped December 4. I received it on January 3. See how well the box is sealed? I am actually missing an item from my order and presume it slipped out of the opening. I don't think I'm wrong about that.I have still NOT received any reply to numerous messages I left on the 1-800 of the supplier. I had to leave messages due to 'high volume of calls' they were receiving. Their message said my call would be responded to in 48 hours. I have complained to their 'parent' company and to the Better Business Bureau. But still, I have not heard from the supplier. I'll give you a hint as to who it is... of the few actual Canadian TV broadcasters, this one has the letters __ B C. (I don't want to say the name and get in some kinda trouble. Oww, I'd be so scared! NOT!) I'm thinking of calling a troubleshooter at either CTV or Global. Ha ha!!

CFL and Craft Fairs
Hmmm, I don't think the two mix very well. The turn out at Dog with Wings was a little sad and I'm sure the turn in weather didn't help. Oh well. Thanks to all who came and supported this very worthy charity. The dogs were so well behaved ...
It was the end of a long day for Charlie. Having sat patiently while dressed in his Santa hat to have his photo taken with shoppers, he decided he needed a quick nap before heading home.
Check my Photo Albums on the top right for pictures of jewelry that is still available.

Pearls and stuff
So I had all these pearls and Czech crystals waiting for inspiration. There are 6 different bracelets pictured and they all have a set of matching pearl earrings!
Here are more of the Onyx square frames each with a lampwork bead inside.
Here are a few large pendants.
And a funky coral coloured glass made these fun beads which are accented with some silver glass. That is glass made with a very high silver content which makes it very reactive with other colours that contain a lot of metals.
This is so silky shine and really fun!

2 days with Jennifer Geldard
I took a 2 day class with Jen and was thrilled to be able to learn her techniques with enamels, shards, reactions, and how to fix a bead gone bad. My favourite was the very dreamy ornate bead. I always admired them and was so excited to learn the secret to making them. Can you guess which one it is?
