For a good cause.

I have been asked by several establishments for help with their fundraising for some great charities. I had no problem following through with this as I am a firm believer of "what comes around goes around". I am certainly curious to see the result of my donations......

Here some of the pieces I donated. Custom,

one-of-kinds, I will be happy to reproduce by request.

Blurbs here, there, everywhere! (one day-I hope)

Just recently prior to my website going live, I was informed that some of my earrings and site were blogged on Products of the day! I was absolutely thrilled with that news it made my weekend! Here are the earrings:

Coincidentally I am currently working with coral once again. I think that the organic nature of coral is what I find so appealing. Plus it reminds me of the tropics or what some consider paradise. So stay tuned to see what I come up with.

Also, I want to mention to take a look at Wickedly Chic on Sunday April 22nd. They will be featuring one of Aniroc's items in their Daily Ditties!
My Sincerest Thanks to them both! :)

A web site is born...

It's up! It's up! It's really up! I am so excited to announce that my website is up and running! I have to give many, many, many thanks to my younger brother Julio (a.k.a. Mackey). He is amazing! He's also so very tolerant of me to say the least. I don't know how to thank him, but one day I will. If your reading this Mac, THANKS! I undoubtedly owe you!

I also need to say thanks to my "sisters" at The Switchboards. They are always so open, helpful and encouraging!

And now a new adventure begins.........

The devil made me do it!

Well we are back from the Bay Area and Spring is in full swing. My 1st gem show was overwhelming to say the least! My eyes were bigger than my wallet! The Holiday itself was very low-key and relaxing. After Fridays afternoon of gem shopping, I certainly needed that. Though I'm still recovering from my shoppers remorse. For I went way over my planned budget.

Mothers day is quickly on it's way and it's time for me to get in gear. Get those creative juices flowing and use my new collection of gems! My website should be done here in just a few more days!!! Wahoo!!! That in itself is reason to celebrate!

Here is a picture of my most prized purchase. I heard the price and I just about fainted! My mind kept saying "no" but my mouth just said "yes" UGH! I hate when that happens! Translucent Peruvian Opals, minimal inclusions with dazzling checkered board facets. Seagreen-blue and softly vibrant. These babies are fantastic!

Spring is in the air.

Well It's April and Spring Break. We took the kids to Reno's Circus Circus for one night. They weren't too thrilled with it. The later half of the week we'll spend at my parents for the Holiday.

I'm looking forward to my 1st wholesale gemshow in the Bay area this weekend! I know that I will be just like a kid in a candy store! In the mean time here are some earrings I created yesterday. I can't wait to start making more like these with all I plan on getting at the show!




Love these! Gold-fill and gold vermail lemon quartz and aquamarine
