At the risk of being redundant, I could not resist posting these pictures. As the east coast sits in snow, and the San Francisco Bay area is drenched in rain, we do get bluebirds and rainbows. Here is that little bird, cuter than ever! While we're waiting for spring we do get treats!

Handmade gemstone bracelets - great entertainment!

There are many wonderful things about bracelets. They're very feminine. Especially dangly bracelets, or bracelets made with pretty gemstones. Unlike earrings and necklaces, you can admire a bracelet as you wear it. When you're on the phone, waiting for someone, or sitting in the back at an interminable meeting you can entertain yourself looking at, and playing with your bracelet, or bracelets. Of course, if you're the fidgety type you may drive the people around you crazy, but that's another matter entirely.

The women you encounter will openly admire your bracelet, and you can both admire it at once. The men, especially the manly men, won't say much about your bracelet, but it will get filed in their subconscious under "feminine = sexy = hmmm". (Oh, men are just so ........ different.)

You can buy yourself a handmade bracelet because you love it, or to entertain yourself, make new friends, and even attract the love of your life. (The last part is not guaranteed, but entirely possible.)

Just about every culture has holidays, or special days people celebrate. Most of these days probably originated with significant events, and then became custom. I think they're a good thing because they help us celebrate life. We need to celebrate often. It gives meaning to our lives and helps us feel alive! There's enough "Ugh" - we need to feel the "Ahh"!

Valentine's day is just one of those nice days for lovers and friends and family. It kind of has become a day when you just tell the people dear to you that you love them. What better way to celebrate Valentine's day than with a gift of handmade jewelry? It's special, beautiful and probably the only one like it - like the special person you give it to. We have a special page of heart jewelry here. Hearts aren't just for Valentine's day, and a Valentine gift never really has to be a heart. Your Valentine will have this year's Valentine jewelry next year, and for many years to come - long after the flowers are wilted or the candy eaten.

Come in and look around. We have handmade jewelry made with beautiful gemstones with and without hearts, in bracelets, necklaces and earrings to wear any day of the year.
