Gyspy Jewelry

Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace,
the slaves of the ordinary.

I love my gypsy jewelry. This is what my friend, Donna Jean, calls the bracelets we love to collect and wear. I have gotten some really fun bracelets from some very special people over the years! (like the blue one above - given to me by Shawna) I wear my karma beads everyday and will add one or two of my other bracelets to go along with it depending on my mood or outfit. They are fun to wear and fun to collect.

The cool thing about bracelets is that they usually come in one size fits all! I love that! They come in lots of fun colors - green being my favorite and most collected color. A lot of my bracelets were handmade by people I know like Renee Engle and Shaun Stratton of Ra Glass here in Pullman.

Wearing them makes me feel creative and artsy!

  2. Karen, That bracelet is really beautiful, I am hoping to do more jewelry making, trying to find some time. A friend here at the Big O and her husband make jewelry all the time and we are going to do a Sunday afternoon together, I am looking forward to that.

  3. I really enjoyed chatting with you, Judy and her sister Joan today. A nice treat to sit in the A/C and have some conversations (without little ones!) And looking over your shoulder at the new product line!! I'm pocketing spending money as we speak to spend on that!
