Christmas Eve and Best Wishes to all

I am sure all of us have been merry for the most part?  Well for those that are joyous by all means continue to be so, and for those waiting for all the hubbub to be over, it won't be long.

I personally plan to sit with some eggnog and pecans and munch out til I have a belly ache (one of my holiday traditions!).

Then I will curl up someplace comfy, and my little dog will come running to join me and JT, my dear husband will be watching sports on TV if there is any.

Alas, now it is time to think about the true meaning of Christmas, for me, and I hope for all of you.


Life is Good

I am going to blog my beads off!

Perhaps I should rephrase that.  The initial thought was that I was going to blog my beads off to see what it gets me.  That is no better.

Alright, what I am trying to do is market and sell some of my gorgeous handmade jewelry since it just ain't sellin.

I understand about the economy, and it is sad, and tough but some beautiful beads and a bizarre piece of silver! O.K.  if selling doesn't do it perhaps I should list the things that are really important to me so the lack of attention my jewelry is getting wont be taken so personally.

here goes the list, mind you this is a rotating and revolving list, and not always the same joy is on top of the circle, or on it's front.

My wonderful husband

My wonderful brothers

My wonderful mother

My beloved pets

My not so lovable pets


Memories of my most beloved pets

My true friends

My memories of good times with those friends


All of my fun-had memories


The times I have succeeded

Not so much the times I have not succeeded

Goodness when I see it and when I feel it

Thankfulness and joy

Creating something in the quiet of my mind

Creating something with my own hands

Making beautiful jewelry

Knowing I have done a good job

Selling some of my beautiful jewelry


I am sure there are lots others, but that is it sitting on my head now.


Thanks for listening if you did!

Baublez, pretty things of adornment

I love adornments, I dont wear many, but I make lots and love to see them on others. 

The joy in it is the usage of color, and natural semi-precious stones, and fine silver that I have molded, sanded, worked and reworked, with my own hands. 

The next best thing about making artisan jewelry is seeing my pieces on other folks and having people enjoy my creations.  I often gift my things for charity auctions, and as a gesture of friendship, and this I like best.

Unfortunately, everything costs something, and I have quite an inventory of silver, gemstones, vintage beads, handcrafted lampwork beads, and tribal silver.  So I need to sell a few things every now and then so I can get even more supplies! 

I have a storefront on Etsy:  http;//bananamiranda.etsy.com 

I also having a  viewing and communicating site at www.baublez.themooaany.com

More earrings are coming  for Christmas, and vintage bead angel pendants whose proceeds will go to my local breast cancer patient advocacy fund.

So if you have an interest please do visit, buy or just marvel at some of the oddities

Best Regards,

Mooaany
