Snowing in July?

Happy Monday everyone! I know snow? Really? I'm a crafter and we've got to think about and plan for holidays far in advance, so forgive me. Also there is a "12 Day's of Christmas in July" sale event going on at Artfire and in our Artfire studio. We're offering free shipping to the continental US and Canada on all of our hand-knotted jewelry and snowflakes. We use a very high quality nearly white Linen cord for our work that is actually made in Ireland!  Yes, Ireland!

This is one of my nine original design Michigan Snowflakes. Each one is hand-knotted by me, so yes, for me it is snowing in July. They measure approximately 4 inches across and sell individually for $6.00 or in a set of three different designs for $15.00.  You can see how elegant they look against the tree. The open lacey design even allows the lights to shine through.


As if tree ornaments wasn't enough, here's another original design I created. Once again hand-knotted by me. The choker style necklace and bracelet have clear faceted glass beads in them and are secured by a bead and loop toggle. They contain no metal for ladies who have allergies to many metals. My daughter and I break out from the nickle in many pieces of jewelry so we created something we could actually wear and realized a market for it. The necklace is adjustable so it can be worn loose or tight. The snowflake jewelry is available separately or in sets and there's even a matching pin or brooch.

Growing up in the US state of Michigan, I was insprired by the beauty of the glistening ice and snow from our Michigan winters as the huge flakes drifted down in the glow of the street lights. So here's a little piece of a Michigan winter that won't melt even in tropical climates and you won't have to shovel it!
