Yay Me!  It has been brewing for some time now.  The desire to get some jewelry items listed on Etsy again.  It takes a considerable amount of time to get everything up and updated on my site and then to make sure that the pictures are decent and the jewelry is worthy of listing.  But, after all the toiling and working and re-wording and multiple pictures, I have given it another go.  It doesn't hurt to try, right?  I am still working on a large sized set of special pieces for E and J, but this needed to go up on Etsy and then I am back to re-making their mother's costume jewelry into memorable wearable jewelry for the family. http://www.etsy.com/shop/ReMarydOriginals?ref=search_shop_redirect
