Google Analytics

How much fun is this thing! Thanks to Etsy, I can see that people visit my shop! It's fantastic...and my favorite feature is seeing which country the visitors come from...

Don't worry, analytics only provides general information. No private information is shared (like who you are)...only numbers and statistics.

I have no idea what most of it means, but I am very glad to have the opportunity to use this feature. It really makes me smile...visitors are a good thing!!!

The "Lizzie" Bracelet

A favorite project...or actually the result is a favorite! This bracelet really came together after I received the labradorite focal. It is a stunning bead and definitely inspired the palette of this bracelet.

Elements include:

The "frill" is comprised of baby white freshwater pearls, faceted London blue topaz and labradorite rondelles and petite labradorite onion cut beads...ALL individually double wrapped on vermeil head pins

That portion is strung on beading wire. I used faceted London blue topaz nuggets. After that I selected saltwater Akoya pearls (nearly 9mm in size) and pairs of 7mm faceted labradorite rondelles.

It was inspired by one of my favorite period movies...ahh...despite my willingness to admit it, I may just be a hopeless romantic!

Expanding on my web "presence", I am giving in to this idea of blogging. Hopefully this will be a beneficial step for my business.
