New Life for Old Jewelry! October 8, 2008

I’ve recently been lucky enough to receive some gorgeous vintage beads and jewelry in the mail from customers who wanted to see broken pieces restrung and old beads incorporated into new designs.

This is what my New Life for Old Jewelry program is all about!  For only a $5 labor charge (per strand), plus the cost of materials, you can refresh a beautiful older piece and make it wearable today!  This is a great option if you have lots of broken jewelry lying around or have recently inherited some of your mom’s vintage pieces and don’t really know what to do with them.  I even had a customer send me a huge box of items to keep, and I restrung four other pieces for her FREE, in exchange!  Even if your piece of jewelry is more recent, I’m happy to do repairs and updates.  Just contact me via phone (315-525-7474) or send me a convo through my Etsy shop.  I may ask for photos of the jewelry before you mail it to me, just to be sure it’s something I can help you with.  

Have a great fall, and enjoy all the offerings of the season!

Denise Sachs-Mishalanie- A Local Woman of Style & Substance April 9, 2008

I talked with my friend Denise Sachs- Mishalanie today and she’s got some great ideas going.  I am so excited to tell you about her work.  Not only does she have a part-time “serious” job, but she creates lampwork beads at her home studio several days a week, and does trunk shows at local bead shops.  Would you like to see her work?  I thought you might ask.  Either view her beautiful creations in person at Emmi Beads in Clinton, or Market Beads in Liverpool, NY.  She will be launching her own Etsy shop soon, so keep your eyes peeled for an update.  Thanks!
