What's New In My Etsy Store?

I've decided to add some new types of items to my Esty store. I decided to start featuring some kits.
This is the first of my inclusions.
--------------------------------------->
This is a Change A Bead Earring Kit.
I plan to develop more types of kits once the taxes are with my accountant. That has to take a priority for now.

This is an easy make kit. You receive two chunky discs, two spacer beads, two handmade sterling silver ear wires, and two earring backs. I have a pair of these that I made using dark annealed wire. (I can literally wear anything in my ears.) I love them. Oh, and any of the spacers or chunky discs in my store will fit the ear wires. There is a lot of potential there. More will follow.










These are mandrels to make the pandora sized beads. They are 3/16".
You don't have to double dip with these.
















I'm also featuring, again, some big hole beads--for the Euro bracelets. These beads are made in ivory with fine silver.

























How about some handmade head pins. This group of headpins is very organic and rich. They remind me of wood.











Last, but not least, how about some earring pairs. These coral, chunky discs are so pretty! They will fit my changeable earring earwires.




Well, for now, that's it. Oh, I almost forgot. The last day to enter my blog give away is Saturday. I will post the winners on Sunday!

Happy News

Between the evening news and the onset of the gore and blood now associated with Halloween, I find it necessary to, sometimes, find more positive views of life in the world. One site I have found, and I know it sounds so corny, is called Happy News.

Some of the stories include the story of an 88 year old woman who walked 10,000 miles in memory of her husband who died from Alzheimer's Disease 11 years ago. Amazing, isn't it? I feel uplifted just thinking of that kind of love.



Another story talks about a man who saved another man's life after watching a segment on the Today Show about CPR.

Another source of Good News is the Good News Blog. Again, the emphasis is on the positive side of life. This story is called: Baby Twins Survive Pre-Birth Surgery.
That just makes me feel good thinking about it.

How much do we hear about the way teens misbehave? Read this story about a Jullaion Jones, Teen Hero, Who Used His Body To Shield A Six Year Old from Bullets. That really makes me feel good.

Take a peek at these sites, especially when you feel down. They are great! We need more news like this.
