Morning all...happy Thursday.  I'm still hoping some 'wirey' folks will steer me in the direction of some good sterling silver and gold filled wire prices.  (See previous post) Any suggestions?

Or just say hello...later.  SG

Greetings!  I have a few things that will be ending soon(er or later) and just wanted to bring your attention to the fact that I have some really nice items at some really nice prices ... www.sonomagemstones.com.

I'm also looking for some good sources for sterling silver and 14kt gold filled square and 1/2 round HH wire.  The vendors I've used  in the past are pretty good price-wise but I'd like some suggestions for others that may be better.  If you have a source you'd like to share, I would really appreciate it.  Thanks and have a great Monday!

The days are warmer and sunny here in Northern California and the beginning of the summer Festivals and Faires has arrived.  I signed up for booth space for Cloverdale Spring Festival, Saturday, May 10th, the day before Mother's Day.  I'm hoping this will be a good day for folks looking for Mama gifts.  As time allows I'll include a few photos of some of the new pieces I'm taking for sale.

I even purchased a canopy tent to shade me from the hot sun (Cloverdale is further north of the San Francisco Bay Area and it gets hotter than...well, you can imagine).  This will be my first time as an outdoor vendor.  I had a booth at the Gem Faire in Santa Rosa, CA a few years ago, but it was indoors.  I'll let you know how it goes.

OK, the Cloverdale thing was pretty much a waste of time and gas.  I did make some sales and even got one custom order, but the turnout was low, and the wind was high.  Had to take down the tent before all my jewelry displays blew away.

But that's ok...I'll be at the Cotati Jazz Festival (my home town) on June 14.  The Plaza has lots of shade trees and the music this year will be 'Swing.'  Reminiscent of the big bands of Glen Miller and Benny Goodman.  I admit, I listened to my parents vinyls of Glen Miller (Little Brown Jug and In the Mood are a couple of my favorites.)  I'm a rock and smooth jazz gal myself, mixed with a little country (I'm from Bama).  Actually, I just love music...

I'll be making more pieces for sale in the next few weeks.  I'll try to get some pix on here real soon.

I hope you like them.  I'll be adding more items soon.
