Etsy- new items

This is one of the items that I've uploaded onto Etsy for sale. It's for $15.00 there.  I really like the photo even better- again- just inspirations of nature to design the jewelry.  It also portrays the spiral madness that I seem to have trademarked.  It's an identifying aspect of Designs by Sharla, actually.  Those who know me look for spirals of some kind on most of my work.  Hmmmm..... that just happened, too. Interesting how your creativity comes out over and over again in your work. 

Until next time (and happy designs-by-sharla shopping),

New Event

Yesterday, I had another event at Fieldstone, a local retirement community home. I was told that they needed assistance with "gifting" since many of them cannot get out and about. I have to admit, although I am a nurse, I was a little apprehensive. I would by lying if I didn't think about profitability (a little bit...). It turned out that yesterday was one of the best events I've ever had- due to the experiences I had with the residents. I met so many persons who were able to tell me "a thing or two" about life and jewelry. They critiqued my jewelry- they praised my pieces- all unasked of course- and it was so useful! They begged me to return in the spring and were ever so grateful that I came to them, since they couldn't get out. It made an experience that I was fearful of- unnecessarily- one of the most enjoyable times I've had with jewelry.

Some of the pieces that I displayed are pictured here. If I can remember, I'll try to include some of the funny stories that happened yesterday.

Until next time,
Sharla
