I recently was asked to join the Vintage Jewelry Sellers on Etsy (VJSE Team), and have been thrilled to join forces with such a great group. Not only are they nice, but their jewelry is to die for! This morning I created a treasury of beautiful offerings from VJSE sellers, check it out!
Enjoy!

Big Time
Now that I've decided to ramp up my hobby into a real-live small business, I realize that there are some things that I have neglected in the past. An inventory of my supplies.
So yeah, I'm a little bit excited, got a spreadsheet ready, anxious to get started. And I promise you, this will pass. Probably after an hour! But for those first 60 minutes, I will be in OCD heaven!!! LOL!

Oh. My.
I've been collecting vintage jewelry and jewelry parts since I was in high school (an ice age ago), and findings, beads, etc for almost as long. Not to mention a serious addiction to craft stores. So the very thought of counting every single bead, jumpring, etc, seems a bit daunting.
But strangely, it appeals to the OCD part of my personality. I LOVE minutia, in fact I've made a career of managing bits of information in my other life as a digital content manager. Makes perfect sense that I'd be a jewelry maker, with my love of tiny things and attention to detail! LOL!

Color Inspiration for 2011
Thank you, Pantone! *kiss kiss!*
Are your ready for the "IT" color? If you guessed honeysuckle, you guessed right!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Honeysuckle!
I always thought honeysuckle was a creamy honey yellow, but who am I to judge? Corally pink it is!
Little Nugget and her pink-heavy wardrobe are set to be the toast of preschool come January! LOL!

That's App-tastic!
Cool! There's an App on the iPad that lets you create virtual paintings...
From the exhibition "Fresh Flowers," a drawing created by artist
David Hockney with the creative tool that's been
fascinating him lately — the iPad. Untitled, 10 July 2010
is one of hundreds of digital works showing on
40 screens in the Paris exhibition, which runs through Jan. 30.
Wonder how it would work for jewelry designers....anyone?

Pardon the Dust...
I've been doing a little cleaning around the NOG Blog, working on layout, design and such.
A lot has been going on! Did you see this?
Apparently the Wallis Simpson auction brought in a whopping $12.5 million, with that gorgeous diamond, onyx and emerald panther bracelet by Cartier going for a record $7 million!
Lovely!
