New Pope Francis Chaplet - New Antiqued Copper Bracelet - Awaiting Hurricane Matthew

Hurricane Matthew is right around the corner as we wait on updates in Central Florida.  The last hurricanes (yes, I said hurricanes) that I experienced in force were in 2004 when I had just moved into my current house and FOUR hurricanes came through Florida that year. We had no power for two weeks and spent most of our time, after the first storm, sitting in lawn chairs in the front yard because it was so hot. After those four storms, I purchased storm shutters and have not used them since.  However, this month, this year, they may be pulled out again and I'm hoping they still fit.  Of course, we could just get a little wind, if it stays off shore but I don't think we can ever be overly confident and must prepare with the basics... water, food, and of course pet food.  

In the meantime, I am enjoying adding a couple of new designs in my Etsy shop.  One is a Pope Francis Chaplet which is made with beautiful vintage Swarovski clear crystals.  These beautiful crystals pick up all the colors in the rainbow when they hit bright light.  I took photos in indirect light from the sun and the blue from the sky is picked up beautifully in the crystals.  Pope Francis loves animals and so do I, being a Christian vegan myself, this quote from Pope Francis really stands out to me: “Every act of cruelty towards any creature is ‘contrary to human dignity.'” Please take a look at the new chaplet with Pope Francis medal just added to my shop today.

I also added an antiqued copper bracelet which I enjoyed making out of raw copper wire, then antiqued.  I double wrapped each section and used the unbreakable wrapping technique which gives such strength to each piece.  This bracelet is one of the few that do not have a Christian charm.  I didn't add a charm because it may be used by a woman or a man.  It will just depend on the size of the wrist.  Please take a look at this bracelet.  I want to make one to keep, as I truly love the way it looks.

As we keep our eyes peeled on Hurricane Matthew, I have a few projects planned to keep me busy. Many prayers for all those people in the storm's path and I'm praying for a hedge of protection around my loved ones. 

God Bless!

Unique Copper Bracelet added today!

Are you looking for something unique created in copper? Then I have the bracelet for you!

I love experimenting with new styles and designs. Today, I have added an "unbreakable" wire wrapped copper bracelet. I enjoy using vintage beads in my designs to create an item that can not be easily duplicated. My signature to each piece of jewelry is to add a Christian charm.

I am a Christian Vegan and usually work with a variety of rescue dogs nearby. None of my designs include leather or animal products. 

When I am shopping online, I love to puchase with Free Shipping, so I have added Free Shipping to ALL items in my shop! 

Currently, I only ship to the USA but plan to add additional countries in the future. Thanks for stopping by!

Christian Vegan & New Bracelets

One of the really nice things about selling on Etsy is the feeling of community between buyers and sellers.  Even though my store is online, there is a sense of knowing those who follow your business.  One of the things that you may not know about me, unless you read the fine print in my About section, is that I am a Christian vegan.  

For those of you who may not know the difference between vegan and vegetarian, vegans do not eat animals products of any kind.  They also do not use items that are made with animal products.  So all items in my store do not have any animal products in them.  For example, I would not use leather for my jewelry items.  

I also have a lot of rescue animals... I have six dogs, a cat, and a parrot.  Most were adopted.  All are getting up into their mature years, which worries me a bit.  The oldest is a parrot and the youngest is a boxer who is 8 years old.  All, as of this moment, are in pretty good shape. 

I plan to offer coupon codes in the near future on this blog site for a discount on my Christian jewelry and rosaries for first time purchasers.  I added two more charm bracelets to my online store, both with a Christian charm.  One with a dove and the other with a cross.  Here is a sample:

Since I am just beginning my online store, I only ship to the USA at this time.  I will get more familiar with shipping to other countries and try and add a few at a time soon.
