To all who might have worried over my long, long radio silence, yes I'm still here, I'm in good health, just had a lot going on at home. The last six months have been very difficult but it's a new year still and every day is a chance to make good.

My shops are currently down; however, I am still taking orders for jewelry shown in my gallery. Just drop me a note with what you want and any questions, and I'll handle your order.

Hello to old friends I've long neglected, and hello to new ones I've yet to meet. Here's to 2012 as the start of the rest of our lives!
