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 see, I just have a great love for colored stones and gems of all sizes. Not having at least one on my person at any point in the day unsettles me; I simply must have one to feel in my pocket or in one of my jewelry. But this season, I decided to take it to the next step; I have designed and made a number of long necklaces using sterling silver studded with my gemstones. I am anxious 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.

Anyway, I have to get back to fashioning these gems. It’s difficult for me to begin in a project; but when I do, the momentum carries me along. So I shouldn’t interrupt myself for long with blogging. In any case, see you on the next craft show!
