Two Weeks & one day....

Well the time has come for me to pack my tools & clothes...purchased my ticket to Turkey today for my class in Istanbul...you can still join me if you like...click here for more information...

Between going to a Concert last week to see Def Leppard, Poison & Cheap Trick & the very nice mini vacation we took to Santa Rosa, Wine Country's cutest town over the holiday weekend, I have had no time to do anything but get ready for Graceful Customs to open on Sept 20th & my class in Turkey...

so no beads, well there are a few, I will try & list them in the shop by Thursday night...currently there are 19 beads or bead sets in the shop as well...as I will put the shop on vacation/in this case work/mode, while I am in Turkey, all orders made by September 18th will be shipped before I go...I will blog still, have photos of yummy beads & even have bead giveaways during that time...

Speaking of bead giveaways...The yummy focal from last week goes to Nancy, please send your address...for this week I am giving away the very yummy fish Named Rose above...enter to win it by making comment on this post...

The very yummy Necklace above is made by one of my great client/artist friends with my Lava Pools bead, Lee has a great eye & I love how she plays with my beads...

I also had a blog post this week on Watch Me Create...There is so much good information on that site...I loves it...

I hope your labor day weekend was good too & your life is fun & well maybe not as busy of mine...thanks for stopping by...life is good...

Cool fish! I bought the last one you posted and it is well loved! I'm so happy I won your give-a-way bead. My address is: Nancy Hedrick 329 Liberty Street Conneaut, Ohio 44030
Thanks so much!!!!
I'm really looking forward to hearing about your class in Turkey and seeing pictures and beads that you make there. Wish I could do something like that! What an adventure that would be..... Have a safe trip!

Love the fish! It is fall Salmon session in Oregon so all the fisherman are hopeful. Have a great trip.

Hi Jelveh,
Oh my gosh, that fish is so cute!
I was in Santa Rosa recently, also. A good friend lives near Sebastapol - love that town and they have a fun bead shop there!

Hi Jelveh, I love this little fish and wonder if he could make it across the big pond to the UK, that would be lovely if he could. Hope you have a fantastic time in Turkey. Hugs Lynne (Oxford)

Hi Jelveh, Glad that the Grace's glass studio is coming along and getting ready to open. How exciting for both of you. Rose is adorable, it reminds me of Shannon Hill, the Florida glass artist who passed away several months ago at age 40. They made a huge aquarium and lampworkers nationwide made anything aquarium related from mermaids to coral and donated it to the Miami Glassmakers Assn. There's something about water and it's creatures that we all love! Sounds like you had a great holiday, what a fun life you lead.
PEACE.

Hi Jelveh,
Obviously the fish is AWESOME!!! The new beads in your shop are beautiful, as well. I'm saving my pennies so I can add to my "Jelveh" collection.

Hi Jelveh:
As usual, you sound like a very busy gal--mixing all kinds of activities. I would say work and play but I know that you consider your work enjoyable!
Love the fish! It is the same style as the one that I bought from you some time back!
I know that you will have a great time in Turkey--can't wait to read your blog from there.
