A Great Bazaar December 21, 2007
We apologize for being radio silent for the past month! We have been very busy making jewelry for you and all of you who have placed orders on our site. We value your business and hope that you are happy with your purchases. And we hope that you liked our complimentary gift wrapping.
This month has been a great one for us. We just finished up with Bazaar Bizarre in San Francisco at Golden Gate Park this past Saturday. What a wonderful event! There were over 3000 people who attended and quite a few swung by our table. We had a great time meeting everyone and speaking about our line of jewelry and of course selling our jewelry. We were also lucky enough to be visited by some celebrity bloggers like Liana from MixedPlateBlog who recently moved to the Bay Area from Hawaii.
At BazBiz we again had some definite favorites. Here’s what the Bazaar Bizarre attendees liked:
#1 TopSeller- The Wood Fan Earrings(both with and without the bead)
#2 Top Seller - Shell Necklace
#3 Top Seller -Double Teardrop Earrings
#4 Top Seller - The Lotus Necklace
#5 Top Seller - Silver Drop Earrings
We will definitely be keeping all of the above in stock for those of you who were not able to attend the fair.
We have a few more fairs coming up in the coming new year. We will keep you posted and let you know when and where we will be.
Until then, Happy Holidays and a Safe and Happy New Year. We thank you for your support.

CR Fair: New friends, old friends November 15, 2007
We had a lot of fun at the Craft Republic Fair last weekend. It wasn’t the most ideal of situations with the super-secret-need-to-be-a-detective location, expensive parking fee, and competing events like the Computer Fair (ok, we might have won over that one) and the Jay Leno motorcycle show (yes, Jay Leno and his motorbike crew. Even I would have been detoured to that event especially hearing all the vroom-vrooming all afternoon long) but nevertheless, we had fun! We enjoyed setting up our booth and displaying our line of jewelry. We received many compliments and we’re getting a pretty good idea of which pieces are the definite favorites.
But most of all, we had a great time because of all of the other vendors at the fair. It was great to meet such talented crafters, especially Earmark Invitations, whom was so helpful with her tips and tricks for Farmer’s Market and Craft Fairs, and Marie R, the blogger for marimello.blogspot.com whom within 1 minute of talking to her you know she’s gotta be a blogger, and finally, re-meeting an old high school classmate of mine, Nicole of RandomNicole.com whom is such a huge success with her artistic apparel.
So, thank you Craft Republic for holding the event and a thank you to all the other vendors there. And Jay Leno – next year man, you better watch out. 
The Swallow – A Love Affair November 13, 2007
I had never paid much attention to the swallow. To me, it was just a bird that I often mixed up with the Sparrow. Maybe due to the spelling. Yes, I know, how ignorant of me.
My love affair with the swallow began when I spotted this pendant on one of my many bead shopping trips. It stood out amongst all the other sterling silver pendants. There it was, in the basket, looking at me quietly. I looked back, with narrow eyes I tried to figure out what type of bird it was. The sales person at the store looked at me, smiled and said “Aah, I see you’ve spotted our Swallow.” A Swallow? How interesting. Many different symbols and visions floated through my mind about the Swallow. Unfortunately I couldn’t focus since I was already on my way out. But the visions continued on throughout the following days that I had to look up the meaning of the Swallow.
To my amazement, it symbolizes a multitude of things. It is a symbol for love. Because Swallows select one mate and nest with that one mate for the rest of its life. It is a symbol for hope. Because in times past when sailors spotted a swallow from a ship it meant land was near. And finally for loyalty. Year after year the swallows of San Capistrano return no matter where they have gone.
For these symbols, just like many others, my love affair with the Swallow has begun. And so, as a tribute to my Swallow friend, I have designed the Swallow Necklace. The Swallow necklace is a sterling silver pendant of a swallow in flight, adorned with three silvery gray beads. Silvery gray that mimics the texture of a swallow’s feathers and the number three to represent love. The necklace is finished off with varying sizes of sterling silver chain to symbolize the various meanings of the swallow.

Bazaar Bizarre Fair – See you there. October 23, 2007
Out of hundreds of applications, and only a few select spots, we are proud to announce that we have been accepted as a vendor for the Bazaar Bizarre Fair in San Francisco on Saturday December 15th.
What is Bazaar Bizarre?
“Bazaar Bizarre began in 2001 in the Boston-area as a hodge-podge of friends and acquaintances cobbling together their handcrafted DIY wares to sell and staging an offbeat entertainment extravaganza. In 2004 the Bazaar Bizarre spread to Los Angeles and Cleveland and in 2006 Make took us under their wing to include the Bazaar Bizarre as part of the Maker Faire in the San Francisco-area every spring. The Bazaars in Boston, Cleveland, Los Angeles and San Francisco happen every year during peak holiday shopping season in December.”
We are very excited and hope to see you there!
