When I do my online browsing and shopping, I look for things that are either in my hobby interest (books, gardening, yarn, knitting, gemstones and a glass beads) or I look at clothing. I love to drool over items I cannot afford, like anything Oscar De La Renta, or a certain Dooney Bourke bag I have had my eye on. Or I look at boots. I love boots and have bought several pair online.
I love to look for jewelry especially if it is handmade, vintage or antique jewelry. I love old Mexican Taxco silver and copper pins. I often look for something slightly quirky and unusual or something really old and often Middle Eastern or African in design. I don't purchase many pieces, as I love to buy the components and put it together myself. I make some for you....some for me.
Since becoming a jewelry artist, I no longer am drawn to commercial jewelry. I still think it is lovely but I would rather have that handcrafted piece that is "one of." I love hammered silver clasps and chunky gemstones. I also love edgy pieces like my "silver" washer bracelet with large silver lobster claw clasp with one red coral bead.
I still want to know your favorite online items.
