Last Day for Holiday Shipping and Extra Links

 Well, it *was* a goal to get lots of jewelry listed in my etsy shop this year, but I didn't mean to do it so late.  Oh well, better late than never!  I have some momentum built up now, so I hope to fill the shop up with jewelry early in the New Year while I am working on my website and developing new products.  I've got Big Plans!

 One of the items I added is this Wooden Door necklace, which was very popular early in the year.  It came along with the launch of my Lumber components and I had requests for the necklace itself.  It took me all fall to collect all the parts at antique stores (the key pendant) and bead shows.

  Along with the new items, I have been listing items that have been published over the years, like this Alchemical Nightingale necklace.  This is one of the first things I made with Vintaj brass and is very likely the first thing I had published that used it.  This beauty was in the April 2008 issue of Simply Beads Magazine.
Just a reminder that there is free gift wrapping and US priority upgrade in the Earthenwood Galleria until tomorrow afternoon.  I am doing the last of my holiday shipping tomorrow, so time is running out.  I shall leave you today with this week's Extra Links: A Bead A Day
