I've never actually been to a ren-faire.  I've always wanted to & always thought it'd be fun, but never had the opportunity to.  So  all my faire knowledge is from online resources (pics, stories, faire sites).  I also LOVE it when customers are willing to send me a pic of them wearing my creations.  I've done a lot of people's wedding jewelry too (and not just renaissance stuff!)

I am SOOO loving the pirate craze!  I've got a bunch of pirate inspired necklaces & working on some designs for more (including some earrings too!)  They're selling like hotcakes too.  I'm working on a replica necklace for the gold Elizabeth Swann dress that is worn in Pirates of the Caribbean. 

Halloween is a great time of year for me too.  I've definitely noticed an increase in my sales in the last month or two.  Keep it up people! 

I'm also planning on listing some more simple, everyday type wear jewelry for those who love my style, but the big jewels are a bit much for the office.  I've got a ton of things made up, but just need to do another photo shoot.
