April Drawing Winner

Congratulations to Lesha A., of Newburgh, Indiana, for winning the April drawing! :) Lesha will most likely win a pair of new earrings; I've been cranking out a ton of new designs I am eager to share...she might even end up with a pair named after her! :) May's prize will probably be the Beatrix necklace, but you can't win if you don't enter!

And yes, I know, the Beatrix isn't pictured yet. It will be; sheesh! I have been trying to find a job out in the real world, and that's been pretty energy and time-consuming lately; sorry!

And speaking of the real world, I have a serious pet peeve I have to share with you guys. Can we talk?

Guitar pick earrings for $46? Are you high? I mean, seriously, a single plastic Fender guitar pick hanging from 3" of sterling silver chain dangled from a simple french ear wire for $46 is highway robbery. Shame on you, Missy; you know who you are.

Sheesh.

Seriously, I am this far away from starting my own little thrifty buys jewelry site and blowing the whistle on all the overpriced egomaniacs out there ripping off unsuspecting consumers. I've seen those self-same guitar pick earrings elsewhere for $12, and that's more like it. So if you've been shopping for a pair of those things, just ask me, and I'll point you to at least half a dozen women who will do it for a more reasonable (read: down-to-earth, normal human being) price. Or for the love of Mike, get a hammer and nails and make a set yourself. You could get started on a whole new hobby. ;)

later days,
