* Tucson Gem & Mineral Show

Last week I traveled to Tucson w/ my Dad to attend the biggest Arizona jewelry convention of the year. There are shows in over 40 venues and you’ll see booths set up in most hotels & parking lots, convention centers & malls. It’s absolutely huge. It’s not just jewelry & beads. It’s objects from all over the world.  On the advice of .

* Women Supporting Women

God bless women & their supportive nature. I’m continually blessed & impressed by the support & encouragement I receive from women & fellow artists, some I know & some I don’t. I’ve found myself asking complete strangers a thing or two regarding their own business ventures and almost always is the case, they share what they can. I’m now on .

* Buttons Tell A Story

To me, buttons tell some ones story & I like to hear hear it. I love anything monogrammed & I discovered these Mother /Daughter ones w/ the initial “W” on them. (1 large & 1 small button are called mother daughter. If there was a 3rd size, they would be grandmother/ mother/ daughter buttons) They will soon adorn my .

* Ruby Mae on Fox10

In June Dad & I were featured on the Fox10 Morning Show with Kristen Anderson. It was a great experience & I only choked up once. Whew! Next time I’ll sit more lady like but for the most part I’m really happy with it. The bummer is that I didn’t download it to a dvd & it’s no longer available for viewing. Crikey, .

Well folks, fall is coming & you know what that means…festivals, boutiques, craft fairs & church bazaars. I’ve got my calendar out & this kitten is signing up for even more fun events this holiday season. I plan to work 1-3 events per month Sept-January. I’ve got my booth packing down to a vintage suitcase science & my tiki .

* Dad’s Latest Idea

My  dad delights in building me things that save me time & keep me organized. Whenever I make jewelry, I typically dump the bags of jump rings onto my work station & then have to hunt around for the right size every time I need one. This mess drives him batty so he dreamt up a jump ring organizer.The idea behind this organizer .

* USA Charm Bracelet

Well I’ve never had a charm bracelet with items collected on my travels. I’ve made them or repaired them for others including “The Adina” & one for my close friend Michelle.                       “The Adina” has lots of fun items including the top off a champagne bottle, foreign coins & sentimental items. .

* Making a Ruby Mae Charm

I thought it would be interesting to show the steps it takes to make a Ruby Mae charm. I hang these off each item I sell. Recently, the grandmother of a new baby named Ruby Mae Googled the name & my website popped up. She was tickled to find me & then bought two of the charms. My eldest son .

* Ruby Mae Media

It was an exciting media week for Ruby Mae Jewelry. What a difference good advice makes. With the guidance of a fantastic social media consultant, Bev Lefebvre, I now know the proper format for a press release, signature line & email etiquette. We reconnected after 20+ years thanks to Facebook. After our second meeting, I had a smile on my face, so excited .

* Announcing 2nd Retail Location @ Coco Milano’s

Well I'm proud to announce that Ruby Mae Jewelry is now in it's second retail location. It's pretty exciting to have my pieces at Coco Milano's in east Mesa as well as Jam in Scottsdale. Cathi, Denise & the staff were so friendly and welcoming my first visit there last week. I took a lot of my creations in & Denise thought they were .
