Red, White and Blue Artisan Handmade Jewelry - Three for Thursday
Posted July 4, 2019
The 4th of July is here! Cookouts, picnics, swimming, parades and fireworks are all memories of Independence Day festivities in the past. Plus wearing the patriotic red, white and blue! For this Three for Thursday, I decided to go with unique jewelry and share three pieces from three handmade artists. Each piece had to feature a majority of red, white or blue. The three artists are: Mary of PrettyGonzo; Sharon of BlondePeachJewelry; and me, Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs. The GREAT thing about each piece of jewelry shared here today is that they can be worn at any time of the year, not just for the 4th of July! I hope you enjoy this edition of Red, White and Blue Artisan Handmade Jewelry - Three for Thursday.

Second Page, Second Item - Wonderful Handmade Wednesday on Indiemade

Emmaline Bride, writer of The Handmade Wedding Blog, gave three reason to buy handmade:
Handmade is made with love
Handmade is made with care
Handmade is made just for you
I certainly agree with all three of these reasons. Why buy mass produced items - your neighbor next door can be wearing the exact same thing - when you can buy handmade, which can be one of a kind, and only YOU own it!

That's the thing with handmade items. They still have the person's mark on them, and when you hold them, you feel less alone.

I love the idea that when you hold a handmade item, that you feel less alone. I hope that everyone who wears a piece of my handmade jewelry feels that way! The one of a kind jewelry definitely has my “mark” with many good wishes and peaceful intentions added.
Red for Valentine's Day! Wonderful Handmade Wednesday on Indiemade
Posted January 17, 2018
Valentine’s Day will soon be here, so I thought I’d share some mainly red handmade items from talented Indiemade artists. Now these items were purposely chosen to not be overly “Valentines” - no heart designs here! Just wonderful designs that primarily deal in many shades of red, from deep reds to vibrant reds. So these beauties obviously can be worn most any time of the year.

It has been several months since I last shared a blog of my newest handmade jewelry. Between participating in art shows, traveling, my birthday, our anniversary, other commitments and trying to stock my Indiemade shop for the Christmas buying season, the time just sped right on by. Seems time goes quicker and quicker each and every year! Whew! Anyway, I finally pulled together this post to share of my newest earrings and necklaces, six of each. They are all one of a kind pieces and handmade from the heart. If a piece catches your eye, please click on the photo or the live link below the photo to be taken to the item for more information and pictures. I hope you enjoy the beauties below:
