One day I was cleaning out a closet and found a box of old Jewelry pieces and a box of Crystals I had “planed on using” someday.  As I looked at those boxes I thought to myself “What if I put this on that?”  Using my husbands ship model tools and old wire I found, I sat down at a table and started to design.  As each piece became finished, I hung them in a window. They were “not bad” .  Pretty soon my window was full of different shapes and colors.  My husband asked “what are you going to do with those?”  I replied: “I guess I could try selling them,  maybe someone else thinks they are nice.” So,  I went to a local farmers market with 5 pieces and displayed them on an old window hoping someone would buy one.  I figured if I sold at least one, I would return the next week and try again.  When one  piece sold  I created another, and another.    Each piece was unique and a challenge, no two were alike.   I eventually went to a craft shop and bought proper supplies and tools and really got creative.  I needed more!  “I have finally found my niche” I thought.  I was on the hunt for more crystals and  items to bedazzle.  I searched through friends jewelry boxes, hunted for treasures in thrift shops, craft shops and antique stores.  I even went through my yard to see if there was anything there calling to me.  I found on-line sellers of crystal pendants and beads where I could buy even more supplies.  My motto became “Every Window Deserves a Piece of Jewelry”   That was over 10 years ago.  Since this meager beginning I have created hundreds of One-of-a-kind pieces of “Window Jewelry” using the  highest quality Crystals I can find.
