GemstoneChick aka Lauren says:Thank you! Maggie’s Mom, I don’t have it up yet, but I have been creating and uploading pieces, which takes one or two eternities. Thanks again!
P.S. I’m thinking of calling it “DustyDahliaJewelry” Good enough name? Isabella had a really good idea for it but it didn’t reflect the cheery, simple pieces I tend to make.
