Hey all, its that time of year again. yes you guessed it, time for VD. lol
My mom, your typical little old lady, started making jewelry from semi presious and precious stones when she was living in Dallas with my sister in the 90s. She and my sister started doing it for something to do after they got out of work (both workaholics). So she has been making hand crafted beaded jewelry for quite a while now. I think she does some quite nice work, but im a bit biased. heh
But I thought some of you may be looking for something unique, or hand made, for your ladies for this Valentines Day, or her Bday this year.
I have taken a few pics of some of the items she has (she will go around the state to craft shows selling things). Imo, her work is very nice, and prices are WAY to cheap. In many cases the money she is chargeing per piece is barely above the cost of material, and most each piece has a minimum 2 to 3 hrs per unit to make. I shoud of got this up last weekend, but didnt think about it till yesterday evening, that you guys may be looking for something unique and special for the little woman. So I thought I would post up a few pics, with some info, and prices, and see if anyone was interested.
If things look good, I may open her a small ebay shop to sell thru, or make a quick but decent site to offer them online.
Hope this isnt a big problem. Its not like I will be advertising all year round for her jewelry. unless you guys start buying it up good. Then I may consider it. lol
Anyways, VD Is next Sunday. Prices shown will be Shipped in the USA, outside of the States will have to pay the shipping, sorry. Items going stateside will ship USPS Priority, to try to be sure you get them in time. I will aslo be willing to ship express or overnight, buyer pays all shipping.
Everything except the actual watches, is hand threaded beads using only some of the finest Precious and Semi Precious Stones and Beads. Many of the designs are custom or one of a kind. Most items have only one available, but others could be made up. Some will have a couple pieces available, and some will have varrying colors available. Ask any questions you may have.

Note: the Flash has really Highlighted the Irridescent Blue beads. Note they dont look this BRIGHT until they are in direct light, then as you can see, they GLOW. Excellent for the Gal with Beautiful Blue Eyes.
hese are some decent watches of various brands of watch used.
Simple, Nice Looking and not gawdy. These watches with custom bands wil be 65.00 shipped in the USA.
This is a hand crotched set, Necklace, Braclet, and earrings. Faux Pearl. Other colors available are, White, Plumb, Rose, Mint Green, Dark Irridescent Grey, Yellow, Beige and Cobalt. These are 55.00 shipped in the USA.
FOSSIL Watches, with beaded bands. Now these watches are Genuine Fosssil Watches, with custom hand made bands. Fossil watches are a very good brand, and in many cases, you can not buy just the Fossile Brand watches for less than the selling price of these pieces. Fossil watches are more expensive than a normal Timex or such. These pieces will be 100.00 shipped in the USA.
Also FYI, my mother does custom designs for that truely unique, one of a kind piece. Any quality of beading or material can be used, but she prefers to use the higher quality items. Almost all Clasps are high Quality plated Gold, Silver, some are Solid Silver and others are Surgical Steel quality. My family can not wear cheap jewelry, it turns our skin green when we wear cheap crap, so pretty much every thing made is using high quality Hypo Allergenic material for those with a sensitivity to cheap crap. heh.
All pieces will come in a jewelry bag but no boxes.
LMK if you are intersted. These are avaiable on a first come, first serve bases, but similar items can be made up as needed. Ofcourse this week, if that is your option, be aware it will likely be 2 weeks before that piece will be ready to ship out.
Payment can be made via paypal or P.M.O.
Thanx
Tim
