One afternoon I was doodling my time away on the computer playing solitaire when Chuck said to me, "Why are you wasting so much time. You could be doing something else. . . like selling your stuff on eBay or something." He was right, but first I wanted to test the waters. I had drawers filled with black pouches, velvet jewelry boxes, creamy white gift boxes, filled with jewelry I'd bought or collected since the '70s. Vintage stuff. I trolled eBay for a while and saw a huge market for it and put most of it up for bids. I made a small potful, for sure. But, I fear, I spent it all of things I found on eBay that I could incorporated into my own designs. A prime example: the gorgeous marcasite heart that I've paired with freshwater pearl roundels and small marcasite spacer beads. I love this design. It's so classic and modern and yet the marcasite adds a touch of the old fashioned to it. The perfect accessory for black velvet or the creamy white of a wedding dress!
