A day in the life of a handmade jewelry maker.....

5/25/2017

 
Picture

Do you remember the post about the 4th New Years "resolution" or hope for 2017? It was related to how to add more laughs to your day and included some suggestions. Here is the link to that post if you want the details.

​This past weekend something happened that I could only laugh at because what else could I do?  Here is what happened. 

I had an art show (Gumtree Art Festival) in Tupelo, Mississippi. Tupelo is a day's drive from my home/studio in Baton Rouge. I spent the week before getting everything ready to go and checking my show list several times to make sure I had everything and....yes, you guess it.  
Picture
Something important was forgotten - something so important that I could not do the show without this. I forgot the table covers. Big problem. Major problem. ​

Fortunately, the next small town we came to had a Walmart. I went in, found drapes in a nice cream color and they were on sale for 4.50 each! I picked up seven for my 3 tables and then went back at the last minute & picked up another one.  You can see a photo above of what my "make do" table covers looked like.  Not perfect but I thing/hope that I was the only one who noticed!

Laugh? Yes, I did. What else could I do?

Til next time!

What is coming up?

Graduation time is upon us this time of year so I always have a nice selection of gift-worthy jewelry pieces ready to go at various price points. Here is the link to some sweet little silver earrings and necklaces that might be just right for a graduate on your list and here you can discover some petite sterling silver bracelets. A gift certificate is always a great gift idea, too, if you just can't decide on that perfect gift. Gift certificates come in any amount you would like and can be delivered directly to the recipient electronically. No more worries about last minute shopping! That is a good thing this time of year!

I'll be back next week with more news as summer gets underway!

Have a wonderful week and please let me know if I can help you with your graduation shopping.

Laura

PS Here are some different silver earrings that your special graduate might enjoy!

Miss Congeniality is a funny movie
You might recognize the title of this blog from my New Year's Day post. It was all about what I (and maybe you, too) hope for in the new year. If you want to read that post, you can go here to read it.

What is it they say? Laughter is the best medicine? (On a side note, who is "they"? I always wondered that....)

There is nothing like a good laugh to lighten your mood and move you from "oh, not yet" to "here I come, world!" We feel that we have to be so serious about our work, our relationships and our lives. Consider taking a break from that seriousness for a little while - treat it like a mini vacation!

Yes, give me more info - I want to join your email list!

Here are a couple of easy ways to get a laugh:




​1. Watch a silly or funny movie (remember Miss Congeniality? That is a funny movie....)


2. Watch some cute/silly/funny Youtube videos

3. Type "funny quotes" into Google and click images to have a list of laugh-worthy quotes right at your fingertips!

4. Go to the grocery store or Hallmark store and find the funniest card on the rack

​5. Call up a friend who always makes you smile - you'll be glad you did!

Don't worry be happy, I need a laugh today
You may ask, "how does this relate to handmade jewelry?" That is a good question. While my jewelry is generally not "laugh out loud" funny, I do have some pieces that might make you smile - and that is sometimes enough. 

Be well.

Mother's Day - A Time to Remember and Honor Moms

5/1/2017

 
Picture
When Mother's Day rolls around every year, I think about my mom and feel gratitude for the mom figures I still have in my life. If your mom is gone, I'll bet you do the same.

I always send a little something to the moms in my life: maybe just a card, maybe a piece of my own handmade silver jewelry, maybe a phone call where I can relax and enjoy sharing remembrances with someone who has some of the same memories I do.

If you are among the many people who send gifts to a mom in your life, I have put together a fun Mother's Day offer for you - a gift for her & a gift for you! Here are the details: for the first 20 people who order $50.00 or more of my jewelry between May 1st and May 14th, I will include a pair of FREE handmade pearl earrings. That's a win-win! (In south Louisiana, this little something extra is called "lagniappe"!)
You may remember that I created a Mother's Day Gift Guide for you. Here are a couple of my favorite jewelry pieces for that guide. I call the bracelet "Paris" and it is probably my very favorite sterling silver bracelet. It is for the elegant mom who loves to wear something beautiful and unique - not something that everyone else is wearing! Go here to shop the complete collection.

Another favorite piece are these earrings that I wear all the time! I call them earrings for the "Yoga Mom" because they are simple enough not to get in the way of anything life throws at her but also unusual enough to be fun to wear. To see all the gemstone possibilities available with these earrings, go here.

Go here to shop the complete collection of jewelry!

As always, thanks for stopping by! I hope to see you in person at one of my shows soon! Oh, and, Happy Mother's Day!
