Wow!!!  June is already here!  Can't believe it's been a month since I shared the newest jewelry pieces in my handmade shop, so decided to rectify that now.  Six new designs are shared along with three older pieces that have never made it onto a blog.  All the designs are one of a kind, except for the kity cat Christmas earrings.  If something catches your eye, please either click on the photo or the link and you'll be taken to the item in my SHADOW DOG DESIGNS shop for more information.  All of the jewelry is handmade by me.  Thanks for stopping by!  And please remember to support a small indie shop!
