Thoroughly Charmed!

I vowed to take on a new crafty project after my work ended in July. That was first on my 'to do' list. I have lots of cool old photos and I've always loved soldered charms, so I thought I'd take a class and figure it out! I looked into the equipment and class I'd need to take in order to get started. I had visions of making gifts for friends and family, and maybe even selling some of it!

After browsing http://www.etsy.com/ last week, I decided there were people who did that better than I ever could, and I could buy a LOT of charms for the money I'd invest in the equipment, supplies, and learning how. I found a couple of charms I loved, put them in my little shopping cart, used PayPal to purchase, and one week later -- they're here! What could be easier than that!

The Toto charm is a natural for me since -- I'm from Kansas! And Beach Babe just seemed fitting since Life's a Beach! Actually, I found one that said life's a beach, but I liked this one more. What I love about soldered charms is the flip side -- you really get a two for one! Two different looks in one charm!

Uh oh! Now I'm a little afraid Etsy will become my Home Shopping Network! I was back on there today browsing.

By the way, I purchased the Bathing Beauty Pendant at http://www.sissyart.etsy.com/. The Toto Charm came from Art Under Glass at http://www.artunderglass.net/.

And don't forget Jana's beautiful seaglass jewelry at http://www.silvermoongallery.etsy.com/!
