New on line Shop

I am on "Needles Haystack" a new on line hand made jewelry store.
I only have 1 item so far, but plan on adding more as I get pictures taken.

Lafayette Apple Festival

Had a good weekend at the festival. The weather couldn't have been better, although a little cool Saturday morning, but it warmed up quickly.
I'm going to try & concentrate on using the internet for selling. Doing shows on the weekends are starting to take their toll.....so I will be listing items again on my Etsy shop.

Where am I?

I've been away so to speak for a while, family things occupy a large part of my time.
But....I will be at the Apple Festival in Lafayette October 9th & 10th, in Lafayette, NY, south of Syracuse.
I love the Apple Festival. I am going to try & keep my Facebook page updated with some of my designs, and also post some here. Its just making myself do it...8-)
My Son is getting married next week, so will be busy for that. I hope to make a few new items to take to the Apple Festival in the intervale.

Fine Silver hand formed & stamped necklace

Fine Silver hand hammered & stamped link necklace.  The hand formed clasp features a sterling silver bead for back of the neck interest.  Fine Silver is hand hammered into links to form an unique and one of a kind necklace.

Benefits of Fine Silver are longer lasting shine and lighter weight.

Fine Silver has more silver in it than Sterling Silver, so it tends to not tarnish as quickly and hold its shine longer. Lighter weight means that one can wear a piece of jewelry that is larger but weights less  & therefor is more confortable to wear.

$145.00 . 18 inches long.
