Dusting off (again)...

When they say "time flies" they aren't kidding. What with school starting, revamping my website and creating new jewelry, I've neglected my blog, again.

As a virtual store owner, I'm always looking for ways to improve the shopping experience. Some shoppers likes to sit in pajamas, coffee in hand, and slowly browse. Other shoppers, have about a nano second to buy a gift. They know they need one, but they can't be bothered with slow loading pages, dark photos, not enough information, etc. I know you know what I'm talking about.

Stop by Dee-Zigns Jewelry, check out the changes. Ive added new jewelry designs, including the Hadley necklace.
I used Czech glass in a beautiful turquoise green color. What I love about this necklace, is the smooth feel of the rectangle glass beads and the pretty hook clasp that kind of looks like a clover, not a 4 leafed clover, like, who's ever found one of those? It also reminds me of a fleur de lis symbol. Regardless, I designed the necklace to wear the clasp in front, or asymmetrical (see photo) or in back (for those off you with short, sexy hair).


Beware though, wearing this gorgeous necklace asymmetrically will have your OCD friends, turning it around so it sits on your neck, or perfectly in front. Trust me, I've had this happen!

There are two pairs of earrings, and two bracelets, to match the Hadley necklace.

Tweet to be square.

Twitter. I have been tweeting for quite some time, and one thing that drives me absolutely crazy... people who follow me and when I go visit them to see if I want to follow them back, they have no updates. Zero, Nada, a big goose egg, and there is nothing to tell me anything about them. Who are these people? I'm not going to follow a "nobody" and I'm not talking about everyday people here. I'm talking about the invisible people who have twitter accounts. How does a nobody get a twitter account and become a somebody?

Speaking of nobodies, celebrities are getting in on it. Think Oprah when she started tweeting. Some celebrities have ghost twitterers.

I also don't follow people with thousands upon thousands of followers when they only have a few updates. What is the point?

People, just an FYI, not everyone wants to hear about when you need to go to the bathroom. Jeez, if that was the case, that's all I would be tweeting. Drinking another cup of coffee. Heading to the bathroom. Getting another glass of water. Heading to the bathroom. Making new earrings. Heading to the bathroom. Do you see my point? No, I do not have a bladder problem. Drinking problem, yes.

Do you twitter? Do you follow people just to have them follow you back? Are you only interested in watching your follower list rise in numbers? Are you obsessed with how many followers you have?

Twit is twitter without the ter. Are you a twit if you twitter? Some might be.

Sunshine is back!

We are finally seeing the sun in Atlanta. After nearly a week of rain, which we desperately needed, we have sun again. I am very thankful for the rain, but I am also very thankful for the sun. I tend to get SAD (seasonal affective disorder) if we have too many cloudy days and/or rain.

The sunshine definitely inspires me in more ways than one. Check out this beautiful, one of a kind necklace and earring set. It says "happy" to me and that's how you'll feel wearing it. Catch it later today at Dee-Zigns Handcrafted Jewelry & Accessories.

New designs!

I love jasper gemstones, they come in many different colors and are affordable. The strawberry jasper round gemstones are featured in this new necklace and earring set. Soft pink swirled with creamy white makes it 'strawberry" and these stones are paired with pale pink freshwater pearls in a contemporary shape. The generous 24" length of the necklace makes it versatile enough to wrap around your wrist 3 times for a gorgeous bracelet.

This set makes me think of my Mom, I can picture her wearing it over a crisp white blouse under a tailored grey suit. Pink and grey make a stunning color combination, especially in the boardroom.

My mother in law, on the other hand could be seen sporting this two strand necklace to compliment one of her beautifully tailored denim jackets and skirts.

Whatever evokes memories of our mothers, relish them. Take time to think of them and how they have touched our lives.
