Happy New Year!

I thought I'd share a photo I took and a sentiment that I try to live by everyday. Here's to hoping that 2012 is a happy and healthy one for each of you! Now, relax and have a hot cup of tea and live the simple life!

Hello!

I guess it's been awhile since my last post! It's been a very busy year!  I'm hoping that with the new year fast approaching that I will find more time to update my blog.

My Etsy shop has been closed since Dec. 2nd so I could get caught up on orders and take a much needed break! I have missed my shop and will be re-opening soon! I'm working on new designs, retaking photos to improve my etsy listings and trying very hard to get my studio cleaned, purged and organized!

Please keep checking in as I hope to have more posts and photos very soon!

New Etsy Shop and a New Design

 Wow! It's already Fall? The holidays will be here before we know it! I have opened another Etsy shop to showcase my Lucky Penny stamped designs. It's called Lucky Penny Charms. You can see that shop here. Every design includes a penny of some sort! See this new shop on my sidebar to the left. 

 

It's been a very busy Summer and Fall for me in my shops. I'm always working on new designs and trying to come up with great packaging as we move into the Holiday Season! More on that later.

The Bliss Swallow necklace above is one of my latest designs for my Always A Memory shop. It is all Sterling Silver (the swallow is silver plated). I can personalize this with a name or a different word. Would make a thoughtful Christmas gift!

I'll be back soon with more new designs....hoping to make some Holiday themed jewelry soon!

Latest hand stamped jewelry designs!

 

Hand Stamped Lucky Penny Necklace With One Initial Choice

I've been busy working on new designs for my etsy shop! 

This is just one of the latest pieces I've come up with. I have several different font choices. The K is in my lower case Bridgette font stamp. I wore this sample while I was out the other day and it has a good weight, not too heavy, not too light....just right!

Random Photos I've Taken.

Here are a few photos I've taken over this past summer. It doesn't seem like I've done much since I'm always at my full time job or making jewelry in my spare time!  But I did manage to use my new camera several times! These are just a few for now.....

We have a few bird visitors nesting in a bird house that I've had up for 7 or 8 years now. We heard several little ones chirping but never saw them leave the nest. Someone finally made it their home! Enjoy!

New Jewelry Photos!

I thought I'd share a few photos of the jewelry that I make! Hope you enjoy them and please visit my Always A Memory Etsy shop!

 

 

Welcome to my newest blog!

Welcome to my newest attempt at blogging! I decided to start this new blog that will be dedicated to my hand stamped jewelry business. This will also incorporate personal and business posts all in one place!

I started my hand stamped jewelry business in January of 2011 and it is called Always A Memory Hand Stamped Jewelry. I am based in the great state of Oregon.

My previous attempt at blogging is here. Sadly, I stopped posting as much due to the fact that my emmasgems (etsy shop) took a back seat to the new shop I started. Emmasgems is still open but it takes a lot of constant work to make sales and most of my energy is focused on my AlwaysAMemory shop since that has (happily) been getting more sales!

So, I am hoping to put my energies here and hopefully post much more often! I hope you'll check back in often to see what I am up to! KITTY
