Time for some cream of the crop

Finally found some time to list a few new beauties, and some of my favorite stones for sale on Etsy.

New Ocean Jasper Parcel!!!!

I have a whole new lot of Ocean Jasper since it seems everyone else loves it as much as I do. I now have three different sizes with some lovely color variations and great orbs. I wish I could get them all up now, but it takes time to write up each listing. I will get one up of each size, with pictures of all the rest that you can then let me know which stone in which row and column you prefer and can send you as many as you need.
These are all cut so beautifully with a beautiful polish. Check out Etsy for all of my newest pieces.

The Camera of my dreams! Here is the answer

Before I got serious about wanting to start an online business, I wanted that perfect, easy to use camera that would catch all those tiny details on stones, say the separate sparkly crystals on a piece of druzy or the varied detail of colors in Ammolite. I did a LOT of research, looked at features of different brands, talked to different people. What I finally ended up with was a nice little point and shoot.
It is a Panasonic DMC-LS80. I LOVE IT! Every time I take a picture with it, I am always pleased with how easy and amazing the pictures come out. It is so easy to use, and I found a brand new one online for just under a hundred dollars. I love the anti-shake feature, perfect for those close ups of stones.

So, if you are looking for something inexpensive with a wide range of abilities. Go with a Panasonic. This model is highly recommended by me. I use it everyday. I am sure I do not know half the features or how to use them properly, but it makes it easy to get good pictures.

I hope this helps you!

SoopSee is Amazing- check it out

For those of us trying to consolidate ALL of the websites we put our crafts, art or other wares on.. it is so time consuming remembering where the sites are, the passwords, what is on which site.
I found a wonderful way to consolidate and link my work on SoopSee!
I am still learning all its features, but it is through Etsy and so far I have linked Twitter, Etsy and my Blog to it.

Check out what I have done with my content, and see if it will work for you. LOVE IT!!!
