Yesterday was a very, very rainy, but exciting!
I met up with my friend Danica at Ladies First Gym and traded her my tall red, candle in glass for this very gorgeous bracelet that she had made! ...I've known her for a little bit now. She's constantly doing something awesome, whether it's writing, sewing, making crafts, or her specialty: making jewelry! :)
All of Danica's jewelry looks very professional and wonderful, as though you could buy it from either Rodeo Drive, or find it as a unique treasure at a thrift store (my
favorite thing to do, thrift store shopping!), or somewhere in between! :)
I've scanned Danica's business card here for you (please go see some of her fabulous creations at snowgirlsungirl.etsy.com):
In case you can't read it too well (I know, my scanning abilities leave much room for improvement, lol), it says (from top left to right, going down):

PS - I think if you friend her on Facebook, you can see even more of her jewelry designs as well. :)
...Danica was so nice, she let me choose which piece of jewelry I should use for the next trade. It was a very hard thing to do, because all of the pieces were absolutely lovely! However, I finally decided that perhaps this bracelet would be the best piece, as it seems both young and old could appreciate its beauty...
The flowers have genuine Swarovski crystal, and the white stone beads are moonstone (notice the little flecks of iridescence in them). The clasp is a silver-plated, magnetic clasp (which is pretty darn cool, if you ask me!).
I have a neat little New-Age book that says the properties of Moonstone calms and balances emotional situations. They also give second sight, psychometry, aura reading, are good for use in regressions, and they open up psychic potential. Some of the health aid qualities are that they relieve discomfort of cramps, and assist in physical, emotional, and hormonal balance.
Unfortunately my book doesn't say anything about crystals, but I've learned that crystals can be good for absorbing any kind of energies you'd like to preserve in them, and they're good for projecting energy as well.
...If you believe in that sort of stuff! If not, it just looks absolutely stunning! :)
So! I have one very exquisite Swarovski crystal and moonstone bracelet up for trade! Who wants it? :)
...I felt very honored for such a neat and generous trade to have occurred! I'm sure a tall, red candle in glass would go very nicely with Danica's home decor and crafty practices. :) ...I wonder what trade could possibly happen next with such an exquisite bracelet (hopefully on my way up to 1/2 a cello)? I'm sure any special gal would be thrilled to have one of these! Especially during the Holiday Season! :)
Now the ongoing disclaimer is that if I don't know you, I would prefer to trade in a public spot. I work in Palmdale, that would probably be the best place, but I don't mind coming to your area. I'd say the limit for travel distance should be about 200 miles, otherwise it'd be fair to consider investing in some postage. :)
Thanks in advance, and Happy Holidays!!! :D
