I’m very excited because a shipment of stones and boxes I ordered came in sooner than I expected. I needed to order gift boxes to ship my jewelry items in and while I was browsing Jewelry Supply I noticed they were having a sale on some of their semi-precious stones, so I ordered some of those as well to get the order up to allotment, rather than ordering 600 boxes that I might never use.

So now I have tiger’s eye, amethyst, carnelian and non-magnetic hematite to add to the rose quartz, moon stone, smoky quartz, garnet and magnetic hematite beads and chips that I can make items with.

I’ll have to post some pictures so that it’s easier for people to see what sorts of things they can have on their necklaces, earrings and bracelets.

I also made some connections with a small local bead shop on Wednesday. They have classes and the lady who runs the place is very nice. So hopefully I’ll be able to go to her for some additional pointers some time in the near future. She has a child who is about the same age as my son so she understands the perils of children and finding “time away” so said that she can coordinate with me if I can’t make it to the specific class.

That’s the sort of personal touch I hope that I can give with my business too.
