Very excited today

Yeah!! I made my first sale on etsy today and I am very excited about it.  These stones are one of my favorites right now...Carnelian & Fire Agate.  They make such a wonderful autmn combination and look fantastic on all skin tones (even my pale self...LOL).  And a lot of time and thought went into this particular necklace as I reworked the layout over and over again until I felt it was right!!  Anyhow, tell me what you think.....

Gem & Jewelry Show

The International Gem & Jewelry show is happening this weekend at Reliant Center. The prices for wholesale are great, but not sure how good the deals are on the retail side. We did notice that one of the vendors was somewhat pricey for seed beads, but we didn't stay long on the retail side.
