Wow, was it hot in Southampton, inside the curling arena without a breath of air… our sweat was sweating.. customers still came though and bought. THey were happy to see the new products and some followed me down to Goderich where I spent the next three days outdoors in beautiful and hot weather. THe crowds were good and a good time was had by all. Bought a watch from Linda Smith of bee-wearables, google her and check out her website, her stuff is cool… anyway, preparing for this weeks show in London, the Home County Folk Festival while Bev heads to Parry Sound to do Art in the Park there. Lets hope for good weather and a fun crowd.. rabbit rabbit… yack soon, Deb

on my way to Southampton for a fantastic show this THursday. It is held in the Colisium in Southampton and there are vendors indoors and outdoors. A fantastic show. After it closes at 8 tomorrow night I tear down and drive two hours south to Goderich where I set up Friday morning in the city square for three days of fun in the sun. Hope the weather holds…

Don’t forget to come out to this wonderful show. A true plethora of unique products from garden art, pottery and of course jewelry.. See you there, June 19th and 20th…

Thanks guys, you requested it and we did it. We now have birthstone necklaces for the wee ones to match the bracelets. They love them, they feel special and you will be the best mom, aunt, grandma etc. in the world if this is your gift to her. Made with genuine swarovski components it is sure to make her happy.

Ladies, I am sure by now you have had your pedicures etc. getting ready for sandal days. Now you need a nice new anklet or two to show off your beautiful feet and tanned legs. Watch for new anklets arriving soon… the old ones are still beautiful but we have been asked for a pearl version and more colours in the $12.99 crystal one.. will work on that this week.. enjoy spring… yack soon.

Yepper, birthday week and mother’s day have passed. It was a great time celebrating with family and friends. Working on a new product which will be detachable bracelets for medic alert bracelets. We will do some in pearl, crystal and gemstones so look for them soon. As well I have designed a new angel pendant… as soon as I get more made up I will photograph and add to the site, of course I will notify you. So keep your eyes open and if you hear of any shows or venues you think I should attend please send me an email… yack soon, Deb

Just finshed the Milton Farm Craft Show and as always had a blast. Was so glad I was indoors this year as we experienced thunder, lightening a an incredible 20 minute cloudburst. Many tents had leaks but it didn’t dampen the spirit of the vendors. Inside in the barn where I was we served all the attendees taking shelter from the weather. It was a fun and profitable weekend, made lots of new friends, said hi to some old ones and look forward to seeing them all again.

Hey, don’t forget Mom or that special person this weekend. Why spend a fortune on flowers that don’t last when you can give a Swarovski Flower that lasts and lasts. Check this out… http://www.debsdesigns.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=184 the perfect gift for mom… mention this blog and I will send a matching pair of earrings free. Offer good until May 9th, 2010.

Wow, last Saturday, I went back to school. Some of the gang attended too, Bev and Kate and we participated in a wire wrapping course. Its been years since I tried my hand. Funny its one of the first classes I ever took when I started out and was it ever a blast to revisit this style. After three hours we completed our first wire wrapped pendant. All of us agreed it should be $100. for all of the toil and trouble but rest assured with more practice we will get faster and experiment more and our ever constant reasonable prices will prevail. I will try to get a pic or two posted in the next few days. We were all so pleased… yippee a new line…
