Past Tense

I believe I have the right crafts to attend the next Artisan’s Craft Show. I am planning my booth there now. There are only eight days to go before it occurs, so I’m already preparing the items I want to sell. Among the things on my booth are precious stones such as turquoise, aquamarine, onyx, chalcedony, smoky quartz, purple amethyst, amber, citrine, prasiolite (green amethyst), rose and clear faceted quartz, rutilated quartz… need I say any more? I may even bring along some rubies or emeralds if I complete the design in the short time I have left.

As you can very well see, I have a great fascination with colored stones and gems of all types and colors. I feel uncomfortable if I do not have at least one gem set in jewelry on my person; I simply must have one around my neck or on my fingers. But, I have decided to take it one step further. I have designed and made a number of necklaces using sterling silver with gemstones. And I am eager to show them off.

These accessories, of course, need to be accentuated by the correct type of clothing. I passed by Nova Moda boutique and discovered that “Not My Daughter’s Jeans” were in stock. Nova Moda is the only shop here in Hamilton that carries this line; they will fit your significant other fabulously well. I already talked about Michael Kors in a previous post, as well as Nada who is a Canadian designer. The latter showed up during Fashion Week in Toronto and she was described as one of Canada’s up and coming designers.

At any rate, I have to get back to my work on these gems. It’s difficult for me to begin projects, but once I do, it’s hard to get me to stop. So I shouldn’t interrupt myself once I start, so here’s where the blogging ends. In any case, I’ll be seeing you at future craft shows!
