Bling 'n' Things

Owlaroos by Mary Stanley

Well, with school back in session, or about to be depending on where you live, you might be feeling a bit down in the dumps. Or overjoyed, depending on your point of view... EITHER WAY, we all deserve a special treat to mark the occasion.

If not for yourself, maybe a special back-to-school gift for a special daughter/niece/grand-daughter?


Art Hus has a stable of jewelry makers with surprisingly diverse styles, and they've been very busy this summer, decking out the new jewelry cases. Our current selection of bling covers a wide spectrum, from elegant, to casual, to girls-just-wanna-have-fun!

Joellen Chrones makes non-fattening,
'Sugarless Treats' glass jewelry. These eye candies
 are made in two ways: fused glass made in a kiln 
with dichroic glass for luster, and torch worked 
glass beads which she puts onto pretty bracelets,
 some with freshwater pearls.
