March notes

March has arrived like a lion.  Here it's been almost Spring like in temps and yesterday a snow storm blew in with a vengeance especially southern and eastern Minnesota.  Thankfully here it was just about an inch, but with the wind blowing there's been a lot of blizzard conditions.

Aside from the weather, I'm ready to create some more Spring/Summer items and finally worked on this website to reflect a more updated version of the current happenings in the studio with the jewelry more in the forefront than the music.
NotesNBling reflects both and so I worked on this website with a new look - AND - finally a SHOPPING page for the jewelry.

On the shopping page items will be slowly listed and eventually will get categories such as Necklaces, Bracelets, Earrings, etc for easier searching.   It will take me some time because even listing on my own website takes a lot of learning and remembering how to do the listings so that they actually show up on the page.  Yeah, that one was a head scratcher for sure!

Also wanted to let you know that both my websites www.NotesNBling.com and www.SamScales.com all point to this same website now.  
(I have you know that I actually figured all that out how to do it on GoDaddy on my own!  That's an accomplishment for this non-tech person.  Haha.)

Now on to the upcoming events, March is a busy one!

THE JEWELRY:

Normally I would post pictures of some of my designs I've been working on lately here in this section, but with the shopping page up, you can take a look there of what's been on the design table as of late.  Soon there will be a category of "New Arrivals" as well.

The men's line of bracelets has been really a welcomed addition by many of my customers, guys and ladies alike and I just love the designs with the Czech beads and the chunky leather!.  
Since I make my bracelets in different sizes which also includes people like me with super tiny wrists, or people who have bigger boned wrists, I may not always have your size.  
​If there's a bracelet you like and for some reason don't see it in your size, you are welcome to contact me to see if I can make one in your size.  I've done that plenty of times for my customers because it is really hard to include everybody in a design when at times I have a limited supply of a certain color beads or leather - or the magnetic clasps on hand.

New also will be the "story" necklaces with beads and charms on a chain with front closure and a restock will be happening soon with some of the lightweight beach glass necklaces.

I've created a bunch of new opaque colored keychains and wooden keychains ....so be on the lookout for those at the shows.

​

LASTLY:

Again I'm really thrilled to be able to offer a shopping page that is powered through Square, which is a payment system I use at my shows as well.  

Grateful to see you all at the shows and the Farmers Market on March 1 welcomed some new faces with lots of hugs, stories, laughter and "play time" with my jewelry.

Thank you all for your support of my lil business!

See you at the shows!!
