Wire Wrapping, Silver Shopping in Mexico, Rock Shopping in Texas

6-23-2014  It has been a very busy month.  We started by going to an International Living Conference in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico and had a blast going local and finding best deals on Taxco  silver.  It will be showing up in our designs very soon. Finished a custum order using a Taxco silver box chain and it looked great!  We got back from Mexico and started our long awaited oldest  granddaughter time ( we have youngest granddaughter time starting in July) and together we found a great  rock shop in Dallas called The Rock Barrel.   After a couple of  hours  in their shop we came out with some great stones to incorporate into our jewelry and I finally found a wholesale supplier for sterling silver wire. Which brings us to the wire wrapping-  I sat down with a beautiful turquoise green agate and wire wrapped it in the sterling silver wire I got from The Rock Barrel and was quite pleased with it.  The piece is now for sale in our Etsy shop.  It  is great fun to let your creativity take flight when you start to design a piece of jewelry and  currently it is done under the watchful eyes of a 7 year old.  Please check out our latest in the Etsy shop as we have added quite a few new pieces.  Have a great  week!
