News and Updates from Shimmerlings Jewelry


	February 27, 2009 Well it has been quite busy for us here in the studio, as well as out in our community! We are working on a new project to boost microenterprise in our area, by rejuvenating an older building in our town to assist artists, craftspeople, and business owners to grow their skills and businesses. Check here for more details! January 5, 2009 Happiest New Year to All! We are gearing up for the new year with renewed excitement and inspiration! We are already preparing for the Milwaukee Bead & Button Show, where new classes, workshops and retreats will sharpen and hone Jeane-Margherite's expertise, and jump start her creativity with the new skills and products. This is also the time that we shop the fantastic Bead Market where we find a great many of our incredibly unique findings and some of our focal beads that are created by a few of our favorite choice artisans from around the globe! In addition to that we have added to our show schedule a Spring Showcase! Many have asked for a preview of our Spring Line, as well as an opportunity to shop for Mother's Day Gifts and Prom Jewelry. We listened and we have begun details for the Show which will take place April 24th....check our Spring Showcase page for details! With January, also comes the decisions on which shows we will participate in for the year. We have our favorites, The Midwest Faerie Festival, The Walk In The Woods Show at the Hawthorn Hallow Arboretum, The Fisher's Renaissance Faire near Indianapolis, the Madison Holiday Market and we are going to be adding a few extras this year, that we are hoping to be included in! Check our Jewelry Show Page for details and confirmations. We will also be updating our website, so check back with us often! Welcome to 2009! We hope that it brings you much happiness and joy! November 18, 2008 We just wanted to let you know that we are working feverishly on our new Men's Jewelry Line....we are having trouble naming it, and if anyone has any suggestions, that would be very helpful. Some suggestions were: Boy Bling, Men's Gems and Man Stuff....but we still haven't decided! Also we have really begun working on our Rustic & Reclaimed JewelryA line which currently includes most of our Sustainable Jewelry, but we are thinking we may create two separate lines for them...unfortunately most of our pieces have already sold at our shows, but we are doing the best we can to get the website inventory beefed up with those lines as well. So check back often! We hope our online customers love these two lines as much as our show customers do! October 20, 2008 We are gearing up for our November showThe Madison Holiday Market where we will be in booth #423. It's a wonderful show for shopping, don't miss it! An insider note: keep your parking receipt, and you will receive $5 off the admission price! We are planning to launch our Men's line at this show, so save the date!! Our Annual Holiday Open House is scheduled for Friday December 5th, be ready for that! We will have our new line of Bulldog Spirit wear available, and possibly the Chiefs as well. August 2008 We have, once again, updated our look...as well, we have divided our inventory into more pleasing collections of treasures. We are excited about new lines in the works called "Night Sprites" which are meant for special celebrations, and "Green Man", which is our gentleman's line of jewelry treasures! Keep one eye on the mist for when these appear! As well, we have settled in well with the new kiln, and shortly discovered here will be treasures that are much more reflective of Margherite, of her personality and how she coexists with nature, and this mystical realm. She is bursting at the seams with ideas, we can barely hold her still! We have also decided that two separate inventories is the best way to manage our creations. One inventory for our online store, and a completely separate inventory for our Art and Trunk Shows. This will require less maintenance time, and allow more time to create treasures, which of course is the most intriguing part of this whole adventure! Since each creation is One of a Kind, check back often, because as each treasure is discovered, a new one will take it's place! One never knows what you might find here or at one of our shows! We must also note, that after much thought and repeated requests from customers, another decision was made to begin a limited edition selection...where treasures will be offered that will each be individually hand crafted, but have quite similar designs. They will be each bear a number and our thought is that no more than seven of any item will be created-being that seven is such a magical number...but full details have not been decided upon...check each item's description, for full details. We hope while you are here you will also take some time to learn about Gemstones, Chakras, Healing Stones , explore the mystical side of life, discover the world of shimmerlings, winged beings, of unseen things, of legend and lore...come through our duirwaigh and enter our deepest wood, shrouded in mist and mythos, across the path to where the faerie beings and wildfolk play !! Happy Hunting and Ciad mile failte!
