Below are some things I would like to share with you that will hopefully make shopping in my webstore  a little easier:

*   All the focal beads and jewelry on the site are handmade by me, consequently, there may be times that the inventory on the website is low.   About every 4 to 6 weeks, I will restock the website with fabulous designs that I have created just for my webstore and send out an email to my mailing list letting everyone know that new jewelry is available. The majority of my designs are one (or two) of a kind and the website is setup to remove them when they are purchased.   Ple

*   During the interim between emails, if I do add new jewelry to the webstore, I will add them to the "New Designs"  link in the menu (along with the appropriate category) and I will also post it on my blog.  If you would like to be notified,  subscribe to the blog feed (signup in lower left corner of the blog page).  In the signup, there also is a really good explanation of what a blog is and how they work which I found very helpful.  Since I am new at "blogging", we can all learn together.  :)  Eventually, I will also use Facebook as a means of communicating.

*   As I mentioned when you signed the mailing list (and for everyone one new), I try to take exceptionally good pictures rather than write long descriptions, as I keep changing the designs.  Please read my Jewelry Components Page for detailed descriptions of the silver and other components I use.  Be sure to click on "More Images" in the Necklaces pictures as I have included a closeup which should give you a good idea of the detail in the beads.  However, ALWAYS feel free to ask any questions  you may have.

*   The Links For Shipping and Payment Options are located in the "Quick Links Menu" above the beach scene header at the tope of the page. 

*   If the quantity says 2, it usually means I have either the item made or enough beads to make 2.  Average lengths for necklaces are about 18" and bracelets around 7 1/2" (See top of Necklace and Bracelet pages for more information.)   I can extend or reduce the lengths a few inches at no additional charge.  Email me and I'll design the exact size you need.

*   If the quantity says 1, it is either one-of-a-kind or the last one that I have the beads made for.

*   I do make different shapes of the same bead which might sometime affect the overall design of a piece.  If this is the case, I will email you before sending out the design you ordered.
