Custom Order

A custom order in the making for a wonderful person.  

Hope you love your custom pieces!

NEW Custom Business Bios

Some great news!  After numerous requests, I have now expanded my writing services to include the writing of custom business bios or company bios (whichever you prefer to call them) for non-Etsy as well as Etsy sellers alike.  In addition to the numerous inquiries I've had about this type of writing, the other reason why I've chosen to delve into this writing realm is this: I've come across far too many websites for both online shops, as well as brick and mortars, whose biographies and descriptions could have, in my opinion, been written with so much more personality and polished descriptiveness.  This observation frustrates me to wits end because I know that these businesses have such a great product to offer.

Don't get me wrong, as I do understand that writing is hard work!  It really is, but I love it.  (If you're new here to my blog, my background is in academic writing, but I've been writing well before that, since childhood.  I received my Master's degree--with an emphasis on 20th-century ethnic American literature--last year after being a part of the graduate program for six years where I honed my craft, so I am well-versed in many writing styles.  Read more about my qualifications here.)  Professionalism, adherence to grammar and punctuation rules, and attention to detail and the subtleties conveyed in the written word are of paramount importance to me as a writer.  So allow me the honor to help you write a business/company bio that accurately reflects your product line, unique voice, and company values, while also actively engaging with the perusers of your website.

In addition to business/company bio writing, I now also offer a product description writing service, including menu item descriptions for restaurants and item descriptions for shops.  These exciting changes to my writing services are more inclusive of all businesses that advertise and/or sell online regardless of site affiliation.

Feel free to peruse my blog and Etsy shop for examples of my writing style.

If you would like to work with me to draft a custom business bio or product description--or if you would like to have your existing writing edited--please contact me here.

Week in Photos (aka Happy Spring, Custom Order, and New Stones)

This past week has been a culmination of sorts: with spring in full bloom, it's been a trying task to stay focused, so I've been relying on sustained effort to meet some deadlines--with the windows open, and brisk escapes to the yard as inspiration. 

My first bridal order, which was also my very first bulk order, was excitedly completed last week.  I had the immense honor of creating bridesmaids pendants with these beautiful, AA-quality citrine briolettes:

The faceting on these briolettes are stunning...

 I hope the bride and bridesmaids are as content as I am with how the pendants turned out.  A true labor of love.

Escapes to the yard yielded some epitome-of-spring photos.  (I know that I have posted more than a few nature shots in the past, so please bear with my endless fascination with the great outdoors.)

This bush seemed to have bloomed overnight into this breathtaking sight.

I ordered a few new stones: moonstone briolettes in pale gray, peach, and white.  They are quite sturdy and large, and the stones have an earthy, warm glow rather than an overt sheen.  Ideal stones, in my opinion, for those who prefer a subtle, versatile color palette.

And, for good measure, a dramatic shot with shadow and light...

Now onto some theory articulation--I have to constantly remind myself, You are almost there.

Hope that you all are having a wonderful week.  I truly cannot believe that it is already May 1st!  This year is flying by way too quickly for my comfort level, but one must stay optimistic...and just breathe.  

P.S. In honor of Mother's Day...from now through Mother's Day, 5/13, enter MOTHERSDAY20 at checkout for 20% off your order in my Etsy shop.  

Complimentary Gift with Purchase, New Earring Designs, Etc.

Did I mention that with every item purchased from my shop, you will receive a free gift?  I also offer discounts for repeat customers.  An all around great deal for pendant and necklace lovers!  Neck adornment never looked so good.

In addition to pendants--and a few necklace chains--I began designing beautiful, dangly earrings with sterling silver and gold-filled french coil ear wires: 

Peridot and Moonstone Dangly Earrings

Peridot Oval Gold-filled Earrings

The sterling silver earrings include peridot and moonstone rondelles, very glowy and ethereal!  This pair is currently for sale in my Etsy shop.

The organic, oval peridot earrings are not yet listed for sale in my Etsy shop.  The french coil ear wires are gold-filled, radiating warmth from the earthy, deep olive green peridots.  If you are interested in this earring pair, please let me know, and I will set up a reserved listing for you.


If you see an item in my Etsy shop that you would like multiples of--or if you would like to custom design a pendant--please visit my Policies page and scroll down to the bottom of the page, or click HERE.  Listed are the stones that I currently have 5+ in stock.

Stay tuned!
