I wanted to share with you some exciting news! I have a new website where you can purchase directly from the website using your credit card.

Check it out!

I'm now in the process of listing product into it. Click on "Jewelry to Buy" and then click on one of the categories. There are some amazing pendants listed under the BORO GLASS PENDANT category. I'll be listing others this week into the other categories, so check back often.

Hello!

It's a beautiful sunshiny day today... a bit nippy outside by California standards, but sure nice to see the sunshine. I know, I know, we still need rain, but it's not here today, so we'll enjoy what we have... sunshine.

I wanted to post a few upcoming shows that Fire Spirit Beads will be participating in so you'd know where to view and purchase beautiful jewelry :)

In the meantime, I'd like to post a picture of a boro jewelry set that I've donated to Jackson School in El Dorado Hills for their Family Fun Day Silent Auction to be held on April 25. If you're in the area, come enjoy and bid on this beautiful set. Since it is made with boro glass, it really sparkles and shows depth when put in the sunshine.

Go out and enjoy the sunshine... I'm going to go fire up my torch!

Hello again,

It has been too long since my last update… a few major things got in the way, but I’m getting back to my active routine again.

The big news is that I’m having my first Studio Tour and Jewelry Sale on February 13-14, collaborating with Sandy Medearis’ Art from the Heart (www.sandymedearis.com). We’d love to have you come see what we’ve been creating!

I'm sitting down to rest for a moment and will take this opportunity to catch you up on a few things. What a busy two weeks since my last posting! My booth at Christmas in Coloma did very well even with the cold weather the first day and the colder rain the second day. The crowds weren't very big, but I was very pleased with my product sales. And then following that, I was busy at the torch making beads to then design into jewelry for Christmas presents. Thank you everyone who purchased jewelry both in Coloma and since then.

I'm going to be listing this pendant, so click on the link on the left column to be taken to My Etsy page to view.

Also, I'm posting a picture of a bracelet and pendant that I made for my brother and sister-in-law's granddaughter. It's too cute to not share with you.

Keep checking back and keep looking at my etsy page because I'm starting to work on the jewelry for a home show I'm having on Valentine's/Presidents' Day weekend in February.

HELLO EVERYONE!

Well, the car is packed and I'm done for tonight. I've prepared many trays of my beautiful jewelry. Tomorrow is Christmas in Coloma... an old-fashioned celebration with the aura of an earlier era. It's from 10-4 and I have a booth and I'm hoping to sell lots of jewelry. If you're in the area, come out and visit... bring your umbrella because rain is threatening and wear your woolies because it's going to be cool.

Barbara

HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE!
