One of the most exciting things about my glass and enamel journey is collaborating with fellow artists. Meg Mullen, of Bead My Love, is one of those talented artists and dear friend. Meg and her mother Moggie took me under their wings when I started exhibiting at shows, it must have been that deer in headlights expression I had on my face.<br />
<br />
In the current February issue of Bead and Button magazine Meg has at least a two page spread on a bead embroidery pendant she designed called <a href="http://bnb.jewelrymakingmagazines.com/videos/issue-previews/2015/12/february-2016-issue-preview" target="_blank">Playful Pinwheels.</a> She created this pendant around my enameled pinwheels. I have one of these pendants in teal that I wear at practically every show, it goes with everything and I could have sold it several times off my neck.<br />
<br />
If you want a different color pinwheel just go to my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/161825296/enameled-filigree-cab-sunset-orange?ref=shop_home_active_12" target="_blank">ETSY shop</a> I can make you a one in any color you want just send me a message.<br />
<br />
Meg has kits ready to go on her <a href="http://www.beadmylove.com/kits/" target="_blank">website</a> and any seed bead shape and color you can imagine for all your bead embroidery needs. If you get a chance check out Meg's bead retreats, they fill up fast. I attended one a year ago having never touched a bead embroidery needle in my life and walked away with two finished projects. Between Meg and Moggie you will not lack for support whether you are a beginner like me or have advanced skills. That does not even include the good food and the friendships you will experience.<br />
<br />
Meg and I will both be in Tucson at the end of the month at the <a href="http://www.tobeadtrueblue.com/index.php" target="_blank">To Bead True Blue show</a> we will both be in the Grand Ballroom at the Doubletree. We would love to see you.Gardannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08627322636329214313noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6206952326686061874.post-88351811940245624632015-11-25T16:44:00.000-05:002015-12-14T00:07:18.032-05:00New Enameled Pairs<div style="text-align: center;">
I kept my promise and in the next two weeks I will be posting some new items I have introduced this year that have been popular at my shows and I will be adding to my online enamel collection.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are pairs of a stylized ginkgo leaf, they are 32mm high and 25mm at the widest point. As you can see they are opposites, which I try to do whenever possible, because they look so much better if you choose to make earrings. There is one large loop at the top, and these would look great with some chain dangling from behind these enameled leaves.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are $10 a pair, all of the pieces in the photos are ready made and you will be receiving the exact pair you see in the photo. I do have another 10 pairs waiting to be enameled so if the color you want has been claimed, or you want more than one pair just let me know in the comments and I will get in touch with you. I would be happy to make what you need and even send photos for approval if desired.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To claim the pairs in the photos and make any other requests just let me know the color name I have indicated in each photo, and it will be yours, on a first come first served basis. I can accept payment via paypal or set up a reserved listing in my ETSY shop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you would like to make an additional purchase in my ETSY shop I have free domestic shipping right now, the coupon code is FREESHIPPING. I was going to end it on Thanksgiving but I will continue this coupon for the next couple weeks for your last minute shopping in the shop and/or right here on the blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will keep you all posted in the comments section if I run out of pairs, but don't worry I will be ordering more. I need to get ready for Tucson.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks, Anne<br />
<br />
All SOLD, Thank you</div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It has been so long since I have blogged, I guess life got in the way.</span></div>
<div class="overlay-body" style="margin: 0px; padding: 8px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Last time I was here I was doing 18 shows in one year, way too much, lesson learned. In the handmade world we have to make our own inventory, so time in the studio to make stuff and think of new stuff is super important. </span></div>
<div class="overlay-body" style="margin: 0px; padding: 8px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> I had a house to purge and sell. When you have a big house you can put off all those decisions to get rid of stuff, this was a technique I mastered. Now I am in the third sequel of the purge and I am actually enjoying it. The key is to just begin somewhere, no matter how overwhelming, and given time you will see progress.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Love the new old house, since it was built over 100 years ago it feels weird calling it a new house. Still unpacking and making more decisions regarding what objects are most meaningful to me, which is another good lesson that has been put off way too long. Clutter is my middle name but when it comes to 100 years of paint on woodwork I have OCD, so I am doing my best to keep my heat gun under lock and key until the house is in order.</span></div>
<div class="overlay-body" style="margin: 0px; padding: 8px;">
I have been fired. Yes I am an empty nester, and after all having an independent child capable of her own mistakes and successes is the goal. My daughter was finally able to release herself from my clutches, and it's all good. Thank goodness for my bead business, making stuff has filled that space in my life and opened up a whole new world of friends, creativity, and new places to explore.</div>
<div class="overlay-body" style="margin: 0px; padding: 8px;">
I also had a brief three month job in the world of retail, which only reinforced that my place is in the studio and my work needs to be making stuff for you. </div>
<div class="overlay-body" style="margin: 0px; padding: 8px;">
Before I head to Tucson in February I will be making some decisions about a website, polishing up my logo, adding more up to date photos, and SELLING OOAK ENAMELED PIECES AND LAMPWORK GLASS BEADS RIGHT OFF MY BLOG!!! </div>
<div class="overlay-body" style="margin: 0px; padding: 8px;">
Thanks for visiting, Anne</div>

Believe it or not I am a little ahead of schedule with my listings this week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As promised my goal this Summer in between shows and getting my home on the market is to fill my shop with all the enameled "Made to Order" choices I have available.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just added over 200 choices and there will be more to come. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If there is a specific color that you see in my sold section that is not in the shop yet you can place a custom order. I always send photos of custom orders for your approval before I request payment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unlike the past any sale in the shop will also apply to all custom orders.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Changes in the Shop</span></b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- As I have mentioned in the past I will only make a "Made to Order" piece if I feel confident that the order you receive will be as close as possible to the photos. Keeping in mind that I apply all of the enamel and make all of my glass beads by hand.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- As stated in the product description I will need about five business days to make your order. Sometimes it may take longer sometimes it may take less time, depending on my volume of orders and my show schedule. If you need your "Made to Order" items within 5 business days please contact me via my Etsy shop and I will let you know what I can do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- When I have a sale in the shop it will also apply to any custom order, glass or enamel. This is a change in my past policy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Keep in mind that a glass custom order takes much longer, again I will be in communication with you regarding the specifics.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- I have added a new Etsy feature to most of my enameled pieces in the shop. On the right side of each item you will now have a choice to order most of my enamel pieces as a single or a matched pair. If you want both singles and matched pairs of an item you will need to place two separate orders, one for the number of singles and one for the number of pairs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- When you order a pair it will always be as close of a match as it can be for handmade.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- In some cases I have offered a reduced price for a matched pair, this only applies to a pair that is the same color not two different colors.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Current Sale</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am starting the sale I promised this Friday tonight since the orders are starting to come in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sale is for 10% off everything in the shop and the coupon code is:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">SUMMER10</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is also Free Domestic Shipping off everything in the shop, you don't have to do anything for that I have already changed it for each item.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am sorry I can't off an equivalent shipping discount for my international customers, on average I pay an extra $2 postage for every international order. I cannot bring myself to raise the shipping, but this may have to happen in the future for domestic and international orders. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, I will add a little extra surprise for my international customers, hope that helps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sale will begin now and end next Thursday, June 26th, at midnight East coast time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I am on my way to an <a href="http://www.innovativebeadsexpo.com/show_details.php?id=205&link=" target="_blank">Innovative Show</a> in Doylestown, PA this weekend, so I will not be able to start any of these orders until early next week. If you place an order I will send you a message via Etsy with specifics.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Since there is a sale in the shop all of my customers in Doylestown this weekend will get 10% off on any order all weekend, no coupon required.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Thanks everyone for your patience the past several months. I totally underestimated the time it would take to prepare my home for market and also how much studio time would be sacrificed preparing for shows. As a result my online Etsy shop has suffered.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I said this would be a test year for shows, and I certainly have been tested. There is no point in meeting new customers at shows if there is no online opportunity for them to purchase my handmade items. A better balance between my shows and my online presence is starting to take shape.</span></div>

I have a 20% off sale in the shop this week on all of my glass lampwork, yes that includes glass headpins, but no enamel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Since it's just the Lampwork on sale there is no coupon code.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will figure out your discount and refund the amount via what ever payment method you used.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Based on feedback I have received from customers as well as a personal need for a change, I am eager to get some new Lampwork in the shop. When I look at my glass offerings at shows it looks confusing, most of my sets are random and I feel the need to put a little more thought into what glass sets I offer. Make it easier for my customers to visualize what they can do with a set of beads. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I just need to add more hours to my day, there is so much going on my head is spinning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's way overdue for a </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">GIVEAWAY </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You know how this works, leave a comment in the comment section to get one chance at the giveaway. If you have an opinion regarding what kind of Lampwork glass sets would be most useful for you in your jewelry designs let me know. If you have no opinion any comment will do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't have photos of the giveaway yet but it will be a mixed bag of glass and enamel. I acquire quite a few single enamel pieces when I am making my pairs so it would be a good chance to get a variety of my enamel pieces. I will probably have at least two winners, maybe more it depends on my stash.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you link to this blog post on your blog, facebook, or twitter that will get you another chance to win.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just leave me another comment that you linked to this post.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will pick the winners on Sunday, March 23rd and the 20% off sale will end that same Sunday at midnight.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have fun and I will be back later in the week with photos of the giveaway.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Heading to Reading, PA tomorrow to exhibit at <a href="http://www.berksbeadbazaar.com/" target="_blank">Berks Bead Bazaar</a> this weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone is freaking out a little about the weather, but from what I can see so far the wintry mix is not happening until Sunday night. Which means I will be heading out of town right after the show, snow does not scare me I have lived somewhere in Upstate New York all my life so four wheel drive and snow tires are mandatory. But ice is another story, and I don't want to get stuck in a hotel room for a couple days, way too much work to do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please come and visit if you are a reasonable driving distance and say hi. I am really looking forward to seeing some of my fellow artists, there are a lot of handmade unique items at this show.</div>

I just listed some new glass in the shop probably the most glass I have had in the shop in a long time. I will be continuing to add new enamel choices in the shop, I just put in an order for some new brass and copper stampings, I do not want to list a choice unless I have it available to make.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am liking this new made to order enamel, it really helps with my inventory for my shows. The goal will be to offer all of my enamel choices in every color I can make in my ETSY shop, which will mean more choices for you available anytime. Of course there will be certain enameled pieces that will be too unique to make to order and they will be listed individually.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Down the road there will be some glass beads that I can repeat and also offer on a made to order basis, but since most of my beads are one of a kind they will mostly be listed individually.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope this is working for you, my customers, please keep me posted I am alway open to any and all feedback.</div>

Big changes in the shop which I hope you will be happy with and I welcome any feedback.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In preparing for the Tucson Show I got a lot better at my record keeping with specific formulas and techniques for applying enamel to certain pieces to achieve consistent results. Even though every piece is enameled by myself I feel confident that I can show a photo that represents what you will receive. I did a poll a while ago about this and you, my customers, overwhelmingly expected slight variations with a handmade product. In fact that is what you like about handmade.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have created a made to order section in my shop where you can order as many pieces as you want and I can make exactly what you want. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This benefits me because I won't be making a bunch of stuff hoping that is what you want.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This benefits you because you will now have more color choices available of every piece that I carry. If requested I would be more than happy to send you a photo of your order.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This section will grow over time to include some glass as well, anything that I feel comfortable making on a made to order basis.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm still in Tucson feeling surprisingly alert, but don't ask me what day it is. I won't be home until next Wednesday so if you order something I will not be able to start your order till then. I am planning on a week turnaround time with my made to order items, sometimes it will be shorter sometimes it will be longer it just depends on my schedule. I will notify you immediately after you place your order with a time frame.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am activating a coupon code for for the shop for 15% off your order I will keep it active for a while since I will be adding more items to the shop when I get home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The coupon code is TUCSON15</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not missing the snow but eager to get home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Hope that is a lucky number for me because that is where you can find me at the To Bead True Blue Show in Tucson, starting February 2nd.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Click <a href="http://www.tobeadtrueblue.com/index.php" target="_blank">here</a> for more show details.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just shipped most of my inventory and display essentials, it is a pricey endeavor. The poor Fed Ex guy must have thought I was a loon, I made him tape that suitcase and box about a million times. I don't know what was more stressful sending Natalie to college or shipping my inventory to Tucson.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am spending the time I have left before I leave next Friday morning in the studio making more inventory, I'll be done when its time to drive to the airport. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will keep you all posted.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Due to the many messages I have received this morning about the short nature of this sale, sorry I usually do give my customers more time to take advantage of a discount.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The shop is still open and the Polar Vortex sale is extended until this Sunday the 12th.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Coupon code is still POLARVORTEX15</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For 15% off everything in the shop</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even though the Polar Vortex is on its way out of out of town, it's supposed to be 50 on Saturday. We are used to swings in temperatures around here but a 50 degree swing is a bit rare.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you for your enthusiasm.</div>

Such a long time since I have blogged, updated the shop, etc if you follow me on facebook that seems to be the place I land to keep you informed when I am short on time. You can click the facebook link on the right and friend me if facebook is a convenient way for you to stay connected.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was going to close the shop on the 15th of this month for a complete refreshing of my inventory and the way I handle my inventory. With so many bits and pieces I need a more effective and time saving way to list and organize my orders.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However with working in the studio every day and the Tucson show just around the corner I will be closing the Etsy shop earlier than the 15th, if there is anything you want from the shop today and tomorrow would be the day to shop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In an effort to get rid of the guilty feelings I have for closing the shop for a month I will be having a Polar Vortex sale, yes we are a part of the dreaded Polar Vortex today but no biggie we live upstate NY. Drinking warm beverages and and staying in our jammies all day in the winter months is a popular pastime in this part of the world. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The coupon code for the sale is </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">PolarVortex15 </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it is only until 12 midnight (thats tomorrow!) Wednesday, January 8th.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

But a good kind of fib.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I said no more sales this year, then I realized that Black Friday was approaching next week. I am one of those people that never ventures out on Black Friday, I hate traffic and crowds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So for folks like myself who will be safe and sound at home on Black Friday, maybe shopping online maybe not. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;">I will be having free domestic shipping starting now and ending on Sunday, November 30th. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;">I have changed the shipping profile to reflect free domestic shipping so there is no coupon code.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000; font-size: large;">In fact if you have a coupon code go ahead and use it, which usually does not happen when I offer a discount.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For my customers in Canada and everywhere else around the world, I already pay an extra $1.50-$2 extra postage on average that I do not pass along to you. I hate how much postage you have to pay, especially my Canadian customers, your postage increased the most this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;">So for all my international friends I will throw in a surprise extra something, I have a lot of pairs without partners that could use a new home. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Almost forgot, you know I already give free domestic shipping for any order over $50. So if you are already getting free shipping because your order is over $50 I will send you a coupon code to use on a future purchase that is under $50.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4c4c4c; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4c4c4c; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
Tomorrow will be my last shipping day before Thanksgiving week, so anything I get tonight or in the morning will be shipped tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Everything else will be shipped on Monday, December 1st.<br />
<br />
Happy Thanksgiving.</div>

Sorry people I try and give you a heads up for listings and then life gets in the way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe I should wait until I just have to hit the publish draft button before I give you a heads up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did manage to list all of the headpin trios that I have, but here is a peek at what will also be listed in the shop over the course of the day tomorrow. I will probably just publish as I go, but I will definitely give you a heads up here and on face book when I start.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Leave me a note in the message to seller box if you have more than one order that you need combined.</div>

This is a new enamel color that I have started using and I love it, I am calling it smokey purple it just screams Autumn. For you enamel lovers out there it is Thompsons transparent mauve layered over white.</div>

I hope to make these pinecones a permanent addition to the shop, they have been popular at my shows.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right now I am testing this size and one a little bigger. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every piece I try to enamel in the torch does not necessarily work, so I spend a lot of time purchasing items in small quantities and testing them. Sometimes if I am on the fence about a piece I will put it on a bracelet, since they get the most abuse, and wear it for a while to see how it holds up. Any chips, cracks, pitting, clumps of enamel, and it hits the trash.</div>

These are a bigger version of the oak leaves that I offer, they are vintage and I only have about 50 left.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I have found this size oak leaf, not this exact style, that I need to try out. This is a nice size for a charm on a necklace but still light enough for earrings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my customers at a show last weekend had these ear wires where she could easily remove the dangle, and on the spot she was wearing these oak leaves. My kind of jewelry making.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am off to another show tomorrow in Albany, so I will be shipping when I return on Monday.</div>

This is somewhat embarrassing, my first guest post and I forgot to blog about it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This Monday thanks to an invitation from Jen and the Art Jewelry Elements team, I had my first guest post. Here is a <a href="http://artjewelryelements.blogspot.com/2013/10/i-love-this-bead-but-what-am-i-going-to.html" target="_blank">link to the post</a>, please check it out.</div>

So why all these photos that have nothing to do with my AJE post. Well, its my third post of the evening, oh I just looked at the clock its officially tomorrow. Anyway after so many consecutive posts photos were required.</div>

With all of the driving I have been doing going to out of state shows and then the subsequent standing in one spot at shows, I had to move when I got home last week. Our area in Upstate NY has the most wonderful parks, Mendon Ponds Park is my favorite. I grabbed Bella and went for what I thought was a 3 mile hike, unfortunately the red line I was supposed to follow on the map did not include all of the trails off the main path. So my 3 mile hike turned into a 6 mile hike, even armed with my iphone GPS and a map I became hopelessly lost. Fortunately this is a well traveled trail and some friendly folks on horseback pointed Bella and I in the right direction. Poor Bella with her little legs, kept looking at me with this "I know your lost" look.</div>

Enjoy the photos and thanks for visiting the Art Jewelry Elements Blog.</div>

Now that I am exhibiting at more shows in N.Y. I am getting more online customers from N.Y., and I would like to offer this option for you. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are a NewYork State customer that makes a purchase from my Etsy shop and you have a NYS tax exempt certificate to purchase supplies for your business.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>I can refund your tax if you:</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Mail me a copy of your NYS tax exempt certificate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Make a copy of the resale certificate form and fill out your portion as the purchaser, and please sign. Also mail this form to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a <a href="http://www.tax.ny.gov/pdf/current_forms/st/st120_fill_in.pdf" target="_blank">link</a> to the form I need.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Contact me via my blog or Etsy and I will send you my home address.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After I have received the above paperwork and you make a purchase in the shop please remind me in the "message to seller" and I will refund your tax.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you see me at a show I will still need a hard copy of your tax certificate. I used to keep them on file but I see some of the same customers at as many as three different shows, and I can't predict who will be at what show.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I appreciate the extra time you take to make my job with the tax man easier.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Around this time of year I like to offer some coupons, because I know most of you are in creating mode for your holiday shows. You have no use for a coupon when the holiday day season is upon us and your shows are done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This week I added a lot of new enamel choices to the shop. With an out of town show every weekend in October for me I can't make any promises that anything new will be listed in the shop this month. But there are over 400 choices in the shop and that is nothing to sneeze at.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Here are the details:</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The coupon code is for 15% off your entire purchase.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The coupon code will expire next Thursday, October 17 at midnight. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The coupon code is <span style="font-size: large;">THANKYOU15</span>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please place the coupon code in the spot that Etsy provides before you submit your order.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>My coupon rules:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- You cannot combine this coupon with any other coupons you have.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- The coupon cannot be applied to custom orders, so if you want something else in the shop when you pay for your custom order leave me a message and I will sort it out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- You can still get free domestic shipping if your order exceeds $50 before shipping fees.<br />
<br />
I am leaving early tomorrow morning for a show in Edison, New Jersey so your orders will not be shipped until I return next Tuesday. If I have already contacted you regarding shipping this week those orders are on their way.<br />
<br />
<b>If you are in the Edison, New Jersey area this Saturday and Sunday, please visit, this is a <a href="http://gardannelife.blogspot.com/p/upcoming-shows.html" target="_blank">first show</a> in that area for me so I am always a little nervous. Don't forget to print out <a href="http://gardannelife.blogspot.com/p/coupons.html" target="_blank">your coupon for the show</a>, I have all those easy tabs at the top of the blog now for show dates and all coupons including this new one in the shop.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Enjoy.<br />
