We’ve had some family plans change. So closing plans have changed accordingly. We will still be closing for the Christmas holiday beginning Dec. 23rd. However the reopening date has been moved to Monday, January 4, 2010.
The website of course will still be open and taking your orders but they will not be processed upon my return on January 4th.
Have a wonderful holiday!

Most pages back up
December 2nd, 2009
The sterling silver, Argentium silver and copper pages are back up. The gold filled and rose gold filled pages were ready to go but I found errors so I need to still work on them.
I’ve changed the pages a bit to move the inch sizes to each of the corresponding gauge sizes. What this means is that those of you who order inch sizes will have an easier time finding the sizes you want for ordering. I’ve also included their millimeter equivalency so that you can order just the right size you are looking for if you are used to ordering millimeter sizes. I carry more varieties of sizes of rings than anyone else on the web so you’re sure to find exactly the size you’re looking for.
So, about my doc visit. The doc agreed to see me, checked me out and explained that I have a lot more going on with my foot than what I had thought. He explained the reasons for the pain and also told me that the previous doc who performed surgery on my foot years ago has since been sued and ran off out of state to Florida. He has decided to perform my corrective surgeries (which has now extended to both feet now due to going so long with the deformities from previous surgery) but won’t be able to do it until next year.
My plans to get the pages back up in October were quashed when I ended up getting the H1N1 flu (aka Swine flu). I was knocked down for several weeks on that. Still dealing with a bit of the crud from that. I think it’s going to stick around for a while.
There are going to be some changes here. As all of you are aware I’m a one person business. More often than not I have let my personal home life and my own jewelry and art creations go by the wayside to keep on top of getting everyone’s orders out the door quickly. This often meant that I’ve been working all hours of the day and late into the early morning hours the next day to get them completed quickly. I simply cannot keep up this pace anymore. It has burned me out. I do not have the finances to hire an employee nor do I have a machine running 24 hours a day making my rings for me. I do my utmost best to keep all of my customers happy but I’ve let a lot of things go around here and cannot do that anymore.
This doesn’t mean I’m kicking everyone to the curb it just means that I’m no longer going to work all hours of the night, give up my weekends, and not take some time off now and then to recharge my creative batteries.
