I'm quite excited about this!  The other day I was out watching the preparation of my neighbors vegetable garden and during chatting it turns out another neighbor is also a jewelry maker. 

Apparently he will be opening a shop in the cute little stone building on the property and has invited me to put some of my pieces in there!  I can hardly wait! 

He's been making jewelry since he was fifteen - going out on a limb to think it's been at least 30 years then (at least...) - and has made pieces for Sammy Davis Jr and Cher! Quite fascinating.  What fascinates me more is that he's going to teach me how to solder and I'm sure I'll learn much more from him!

I feel this is such a perfect opportunity, because I don't have to start right out making a hundred pieces to sell. 

OH, it's going to be so much fun!!
