Naturally



With Spring now upon us (Wow, where did March go??), I thought I'd get a jump on my April featured post in hopes to stay just a little ahead of the game.  While browsing through Etsy's assemblage of truly wonderful shops.  It's so hard to chose just who I'd like to feature, so I put all the names of the shops I select on a little piece of paper, drop them all in a jar, shake 'em up good and proper, close my eyes, then reach in and pull one out, fair and square, no?  

I generally like to notify or ask permission of those whom I choose to feature, but in some cases or if I know the shop owner, I just create the post to "Surprise" them.  With that said, my featured seller has graciously allowed me the honor.

May I introduce you to...


who owns and operates



and creates Raw Stone Jewelry.

Here I'd like to share with you a few examples of her wonderful creative works.





This lovely set of Raw


Earrings with it's tiny yellow crystals are set in .925 Silver and 6-7 mm each in size.





Equally as lovely are these


 Natural Geode Earrings that 
feature gorgeous crystal cavities on both halves.  Also set in .925 Silver.
