Also, I've finally gotten a full-time M-F job again! Yay! This is a good thing, but it's going to take me a little while to adjust back to 5 days a week, and I figure I'll be slowed down a bit.
Also, I've had a little spike in custom orders, which is good and I will still take them, but I might be a little slower completing some of them because I'm backing up just a bit.
Found out my local findings shop has moved to M-F 9-5 as well, which means there is NO way I will ever get to shop there, again (really, guys? Only selling to people who can afford to be jewelers regular enough to not work a day job?); so I put an order in for supplies with a lovely etsy vender, and am getting a little supply of 14K gold-filled wire as well. Only a couple of feet, it didn't take off very well last time I had it, but it just fills weird making vials with the pure gold flake and then wrapping them in brass. It makes it a little cheaper, yeah, but I at least want people to have the option that if they want 14K gold-filled wire, they can have it. (Looks like it will work out to $4.00 extra where the sterling silver is $2.00 extra)
And, that's just my update for now.

I've made I think like over 400 different vials over the years, and I can't keep every concept in stock, so if you've seen something in the past you want me to remake, please send me a link and say, "I'd like that one!" and of course, you can make any custom changes you'd like.
The only thing that ever hangs me up on old pendants is sometimes not everything I had then is still available (likewise, I have some things now I couldn't get then.) Obviously, if the plant part is out of season, that can't be helped.
Full custom orders are welcome almost at any time, and we can work out any of the fine details in messages.
I do ask for custom pieces that 50% be paid up front as a deposit to secure sincerity.
