About Me:
Have been making jewelry on and off for 15 years. I moved from California to Texas and when I got here most of the local stores would not provide a good price for the quantity I would buy. Thinking that other designers go through the same, decided I should share my years of research for great suppliers with my fellow designers. I am always on the hunt for different items. I hope to bring you great prices for gems/ glass/ vintage/ shell/ crystals to create amazing designs for your customers to enjoy.

Let Your Creativity Shine

More just in.......

For those of you who have enjoyed creating designs with the vintage lucite flowers and leaves.... I just got more in and in the process of taking pictures and putting them up on Etsy. Have some beautiful reds, pinks, blues, purples and even found some cool black ones. There is also now a category title flowers/leaves in order to find them easier.

There truly was a man that began giving to neighbors and the community which became what Santa means. He was from the cold cold cold countries and that is how we get the old style loo…
