Mini Shop Update

 Good day to you Friends!

The ETSY shop was truly neglected this summer.  But, I am happy to say, I had a wonderful summer and I wasn't always super tired.  So instead of working like crazy on jewelry, I focused on the Farmers' Market and having fun.  It just so happens I haven't posted an item on ETSY since June, HOLY CROW, here are several offerings.  They are currently in the shop and you can get to the link directly to your right! Thanks for stopping by for a visit, I really appreciate it!!!!!

Happy Turkey Week,
Krissy Lee

Busy Markets and Custom Orders

Good day, eh?

I was looking at my blog posts and noticed I haven't posted pics of jewels in months. It certainly is not because I have been on a smithing hiatus. Frankly, the markets and custom orders have kept me busy as a bee. As a result, shop updates on ETSY are scarce at best. This will change in a month or so when the markets start to slow. I will beef up the shop inventory at this time. Thanks for stopping by for a visit and so have yourself a swell Monday evening.

Hefty Shop Update

Good day to you my friends.

I would like to thank you all

for reading and obliging me,

even if only for a short moment of the day.

I do appreciate it.

The Women's Expo was

a success.

I had a ton of fun and sold some goods.

What else can you ask for?

And as it looks,

my marathon pace to complete as many

items as possible by burning the

candle at both ends and sleeping

so little....

was worth it!

But gosh darn it,

I started thinking.

This rampant pace reminded me of

last summer when a full time job and

two farmers' markets of jewelry selling,

really put a damper my life.

I am lucky to have an understanding husband,

but something has to give.

Thanks, Hubby, for putting up with me these last few weeks,

you are the best.

The plan for the summer now, is to make time

to ride my mountain bike, camp, hike,

mushroom hut, cabin,

and whatever else I need to

keep the sails full and my marriage swell.

It sounds executable now,

but I have got to do it.

Work hard and play harder!

Without further banter,

IN THE SHOP NOW,

with more to come:

(please see the ETSY listing for details)

Talk soon,

Biz-dazzled

PS. Has anyone heard of Vagazzling (besides Jess or Kmac)?

If you have, email me...

Signs of Spring

Happy Friday Friends,

we made it,

thank goodness.

Our weather here in

southwestern MT is

quite volatile at this point,

including rain, snow, graupel,

sleet, warm sun,

and everything in between,

and that may be all in the same day.

There are however,

signs of spring.

Pretty crocus.

My tulips which were grazed

and we live in town, mind you!

These deer are smart,

they have eaten my tulips

for consecutive years.

But, if you notice,

they did their chomping prior

to blooming and I will still get a flower.

Oh goody.

Our groomed moss.

Hyacinth spreading their wings.

Fuzzy poppy.

Hens and Chicks

still red from the winter.

The deer muched these too.

Here are some fresh smithings

from Wednesday and Thurday nights.

I am gearing up for the Women's Expo

here in Bozeman.

My fingers hurt.

freshwater pearl, turquoise,

MT chalcedony, sterling, gold, and kyanite

Bangle Off

and a happy fat band.

The shop may be a little slow with regard

to listing until after the

Expo is over.

But the unsold goodies will

be put in the shop.

Enjoy the weekend!
