January Notes

Happy New Year Everyone!  
I hope you all had a nice holiday season with some days of rest - or having fun preparing for the holidays and having company.
For us that season is generally quiet as it's just Warren and I, so after a very busy show season starting in October with a craft/art show almost every weekend, it's ok for us to just have a little quiet, although that's the time we miss family and friends the most.
Everyone has their families to visit with if they are close and most of our other family/friends are living elsewhere...too far for a drive.

Well, on to a new year and new shows.  Here's what's upcoming in the immediate next couple of months.   (You can also check the "Events Dates" in the 'hamburger menu' on the top right to get to that page).

NOTESNBLING JEWELRY
​
First I want to say "THANK YOU" from the bottom of my heart to all of my customers, friends and family who have supported my business with much encouragement, well wishes, sharing my page posts on Facebook and commenting on my page to keep the algorithm going to where people see my latest posts.  So thank you for being involved with that, because without word of mouth, I would miss a few sales.
Also to those who have bought, love my jewelry, wear it proudly, share my business with others, keep ordering, requesting custom orders...THANK YOU SO MUCH, because you make this business a success and make this artist's heart glad.  I really appreciate all of you and I wanted you to know that!
I hope I'll have more interesting designs for you in 2024 to have you keep looking, shopping, selecting gifts for loved ones or co-workers and keep you looking forward to more.
​Also I'm very thankful for your patience as some custom orders take a bit.  Since I'm the only one designing and working the jewelry (for the most part unless hubby can do something easy like stringing beads for me), when it's a busy show season, I can't always keep up with everything.    So thank you for being understanding ❤️.

So, here are some photos of a few of the latest creations:

IN ENDING:

Our last event for 2023 was actually a Christmas Concert at the Barnabas Christian Coffeehouse in Chippewa Falls, WI.  Although a lil drive, it's always such a HUGE blessing to be with the folks there, play music, chat, enjoy fellowship and conversation and stay up with my guitar playing/singing skills, as I haven't been doing much of that this past year.  Hubby Warren's sax always adds SO much to a few of the songs he plays on and people love it.  At least he gets to keep up his chops with participating in the worship team at church every so often.  I'm more of a small group/concert musician, so I'm quite content to leave the worship leading in church to those who feel called to do so.

Again I want to wish everyone a healthy, happy, blessed, peaceful, calm, stillness of heart and trust in God New Year and may we all stay strong, remain hopeful and joyful in the presence of God.

Until next time, creatively yours
Sam
