Our New Grand Daughter

2012-01-20T16:56:00.000-04:00

I wanted to share a picture of our new baby grand daughter, Kloe. She's so cute!!! She was born premature last Friday and she only weighed 3.5(lbs). Although she's doing very well according to the doctor, we're all very worried about her.

See how cute she is. She is fed her mother's milk through the feeding tube you see going in her nose. She will soon be able to feed directly without the tube.

I was featured on the Front Page of Etsy!!

Beware of Counterfeit Sterling Silver Chains

2012-01-03T11:53:00.000-04:00

The trend these days seems to be "Counterfeit Everything." I have been duped twice with these counterfeit item on Ebay; once with a torch and just lately I was sold fake sterling silver chains (even though they are stamped and clearly indicated in the description: .925 Sterling Silver Chains).

I almost began hyperventilating after I realized I had sold many of my pieces with these chains and so I am sending out this warning to all who are dealing with jewelry to please beware of where your chains come from.

Here are a few tips to protect yourself and your loyal customers:

- If the price is too good to be true, a red light should go off because it usually is.

- Only purchase from a reputable business.

- Beware of purchasing this type of item from Ebay or similar sites (unless you know the shop owner is reliable.)

- One way to check to see if your chains are not sterling silver (use a magnet, if they stick to the magnet, they are NOT sterling silver). **If a chain does not stick to a magnet doesn't necessary prove that it is Sterling Silver, because other types of counterfeit metals can be used which are not magnetic as well. That being said, it can sort of guide you, I know it did me.

I hope this information can be of help everyone who deals with sterling silver. :)

New Shipping Prices for 2011

2011-12-31T10:14:00.000-04:00

As a business owner who ships my products internationally, I'm always trying to find the best possible shipping price for my customers. In conclusion, I have found that Canada Post is the cheapest as far as price goes, but the price to pay for not the best service is probably not too worth it!

I shipped many of my items as a small light packet which was great because shipping is quite cheap, thus giving me the upper hand in making my items appealing to the shopper, but the problem I faced this December, was that some of my clients did not receive their packages. The down part of the small light packet is that there is no insurance and no tracking number. What it comes down to is this: you're better off charging more for your shipping and make sure you have both insurance and tracking to offer your clients because if you don't, you will get bit in the behind. It doesn't matter how honest you are, according to the client, you didn't deliver and you didn't keep your end of the bargain.

That being said, in an attempt to offer a more reliable shipping service, I have decided to up my shipping prices in order to offer both insurance and a tracking number with all of my shipments. When you think about it, there really is no other option. If you're going to want to offer the best service you can, this is the only way to go. There is no negotiation when it comes to keeping your good business name.

In conclusion: To all of my loyal customers and to my future customers, please shop with confidence because we will deliver; we guarantee it! We look forward to serving you better in the future.

Cleaning Up

2011-12-26T10:29:00.002-04:00

Well, I'm taking advantage of this time to clean up my work areas. Because I'm into many different crafts and such, I have multiple work stations and you can only imagine how messy that can be. I finally got everything out of my main work room, or as my friend would say "catastrophe room."

I posted a while back about the beautiful guest room I was planning to put together and I had chosen the color which I also posted. Well... it turns out, I didn't quite like the color and I had to change it. Not that the original color wasn't nice; it was just too loud for me. I was aggravated just to walk into the room and so I finally decided to change it to a more subtle and relaxing color. And I must say, I do not regret my decision because it's just beautiful!! With this new sea foam / aqua color, the room embraces you when you walk in; what you want every guest room to do!!

My husband repainted the whole room for me and we changed the door and we'll be adding a closet. Go figure, we always choose houses with no closet space!! The great thing, though, is that both upstairs rooms are quite large and therefore can easily accommodate a closet. I'm really looking forward to the closet!

I'm designing this guest room on a very limited budget and I love the challenge!! I've been browsing through Kijiji, for some awesome finds!! I'm looking for a cozy reading chair, something I could slip cover. I'll also need a small table for a nook area with coffee pot. I have some interesting items I'll be able to transform as well, like a gorgeous, antique wooden trunk that still belongs to my daughter, but I'm thinking I could make a small stand and sit it up to use as a very unique night stand. I also have small, antique, metal trunks that could make something unique!! I already have a beautiful, antique dresser in the room, which I will be painting white to fit in the whole scheme. Plus, at my husband's dismay, I've been saving these beautiful wood legs with the idea of making a bench or an ottoman one day, and I think that day has arrived! I will finally use them to make a practical seating area and storage place for an extra blanket and decorative cushions at the foot of the bed.

What I love most when I decorate a room are originality and uniqueness. I came across this wonderful, yet simple idea for adding a bit of interest to window treatments: Adding buttons, horizontally all along the top of the panel in such a way that it will display the buttons on each fold of the panel itself. I found some old, mother of pearl buttons (they're just beautiful), which have that natural ivory color to them and they will look great in that room!! They will absolutely compliment the whole theme which will be around the beach. This will not be your typical nautical theme, but a very soft, warm, cozy, shabby chic atmosphere with class and sophistication.

That's it for now. We have some things to do today, but we resume our work tomorrow and I will keep you posted of our progress!!

New Victorian Antiqued Sterling Silver Spoon Earrings

2011-12-11T16:15:00.000-04:00

I just added a pair of beautiful, antiqued, Victorian style spoon earrings in quality, .925 sterling silver. I handmade the ear wires in sterling silver as well.

What I love about these earrings is the fact that they're somewhat long with awesome Victorian elegance. I used the handle part of the spoon to create these beauties. I wanted to add a unique look to them and so I very lightly hammered the center part of each one to create an icy effect, which turned out to be very cool. I love to mix up different styles to create something surprisingly new. Click here to see even more information on spoon and fork jewelry.

Perfect Little Vase or Candy Dish or Candle Holder

2011-12-09T08:48:00.000-04:00

I'm featuring this gorgeous little fused glass vase that looks so much like Raku. The colors are just beautiful!! This particular, fused glass piece has unique markings on either side. In the first photograph you will see what almost looks like water spots in spectacular rainbow colors. In the second photograph you'll notice on the opposite side of the vase, the same color pattern is gradually transformed into a slight rainbow effect. The inside is completely black.

What is awesome with a fused glass piece of art, such as this one, is that it can have a practical use such as serving as a candy dish, a flower vase (would look awesome with a bouquet of Hydrangeas, Peones or any other bulky flower), a perfect candle holder, votive holder or tea light holder and my all time favorite: let it shine all on its own. The best part of it, I'm offering this item as part of my Winter Clearance Sale, so now is the time to get this little beauty. Click here for more info.

Super Clearance Sale in my Bayside Wire Designs Store

2011-12-07T21:01:00.000-04:00

As an artist, I have to admit, I don't exactly offer clearance items too often. I think, when it comes to art, it just doesn't seem like you mark down art. I think this is quite the dilemma for most artists who sell their work from a storefront. It just seems very unethical, but if we're going to somewhat succeed in making a living with our craft, we need to bend the rules, adjust to a certain degree, to the rules of retailing. And it is for this reason, that I am offering a Super Clearance Sale in my Etsy Shop BaysideWireDesigns.

Take advantage because it doesn't happen too often. As most artist would agree with me, it's time consuming and expensive for materials, tools without even mentioning the design aspect of our art. That being said, when you see art on sale, you grab it because you know you're getting a great deal!!! The extra bonus being that the particular item is handmade with tender, love and care.

I have 45 listed items in my Super Clearance Sale Category and I will be adding more. Click here to see my store (make sure to add to your favorites for quick access to check regularly for newly added sales.)

New Tribal Earrings African Hoops in Sterling Silver

2011-12-05T16:46:00.000-04:00

These new tribal, sterling silver, African hoops are my latest creation. I made a few pairs in various sizes. I find them awesome!! I thinned out the part that fits through your ear hole, so that it can pass and fit comfortably. I also added texture to them, which you can't really see in the photo, but it almost looks a lot like cut diamond. It adds to the fun African, ethnic look. Click here for more information on these ethnic, tribal, African beauties.

Adopt Lily the Taffy Artist Made Bear Marriage Proposal Idea

2011-12-03T14:29:00.000-04:00

I'm really excited and happy to introduce to you: "Lily." She's my latest handmade creation. She has a beautiful coat of genuine Mohair, that is sort of scruffy looking, which I really like. It gives her some character, don't you think?

I used German glass eyes and metal cotter joints for durability. I added small glass pellets to her bum and feet, for weight (thus enabling her to stand when she's placed just right.)

Obviously, Lily, is not a toy. She's an artistic, handmade bear for decoration or collecting. She will make the greatest gift! Here is a cute gift suggestion: Add a ring to Lily's bow and offer the bear as a gift for a really cute way to propose. Add any kind of jewelry to her as an original way to present the jewelry gift.

Gorgeous, Sexy Choker Necklace with Smokey Quartz Wire Wrapped Pendant

2011-11-21T09:38:00.000-04:00

I designed this smokey Quartz Choker around a gorgeous, Quartz baguette stone that I purchased. It has elegance written all over it!

My jewelry designs are very seldom born at the work bench; it is actually quite the opposite. After examining the stone for some time, I will ponder over it and try to figure out what setting would most suit this particular stone.

After rolling the idea around in my head, sometimes for days, it's as though a light goes and everything points in that one direction. After finally deciding this is the best route to take, I then sit down at my work bench and begin making into a reality something that was once, only an idea. I really hope you enjoy my sexy, ribbon choker with Smokey Quartz, wire wrapped pendant in 14k gold filled. It's a very stunning piece that is also very versatile and it's a one size fits all choker, ties at the back. You may wear it more as a necklace, no need to wrap it around as I did on the photograph; you may also slip it off the ribbon and add to a longer chain as a beautiful necklace for the office. Many great ways to wear this piece! Click here for more info. Go to my shop to see my Black Friday Sales, beginning today.

There is nothing more lovely than seeing lush greenery in a beautiful garden. I designed these garden stakes with that in mind. I wanted to contrast the green against the bright yellow... you know me, it's all about color coordinating and contrasts!!

These garden stakes are made of fused glass. I hand wrote the herb and vegetable names with an engraving tool and then I added a special, black colored paint. You'll also notice that I drilled each one and added a really practical twine loop so that you can hang them neatly in your garden shed (makes it easier to pull them out of the ground too.)

Each one is a handmade, unique piece since they're all made individually. They make the cutest hostess gifts for the gardener. What I really like about these is that they're more than just markers, they're decorative and add a touch of charm and beauty to any vegetable or herb garden. They also look great in a pot as well. I offer these in a bundle or individually.

New Tuscan Cheese Dish Plate with Red Grapes Handmade in New Brunswick

2011-11-16T23:17:00.000-04:00

Here is my latest cheese plate, Tuscan Style with red grapes and cheese done in a grafiti technique, which is just a fancy word for painting and scratching the paint off. What is really awesome with this cheese tray is that the paint turns into glass once I'm finished with the tray, so you don't need to worry about the paint scratching off getting damaged. You can even stick it in the dishwasher. For more information, click here and go to my etsy shop.
