It's Been Awhile

Well it has been quite awhile since my last post I have not forgotten! After my crazy move all the way across Canada on airplane with 2 children on Christmas day 2006 I decided I wanted to be home and I made the crazy move back a mere 6 months later! Everyone needs a change at some point in there life and I am happy I made the move because now I know for sure that is not the direction I want to go in. So after somewhat settling in back home in NB, I have been busy working on another change a very time consuming change I am revamping my Wyred On Wire or simply W.O.W. I am streamlining packaging busy creating new lines for new stores. It has been a very exciting process I cant wait to share more as things start to unfold I will keep everyone updated. I have been currently switching out my normal website www.freewebs.com/wyredonwire over to my new website on etsy http://www.wyredonwire.etsy.com/ I will still keep the freewebs page for information however I will be selling through Etsy. Thanks for your patience in this time of transition.

Etsy

I have been very neglectful of my blogging duties and I apologize for this I will try to make it up and post more often! I have been busy doing research on online markets to sell my jewelry through . There are quite a few out there but in my opinion there are 3 really good ones Etsy, Rubylane and Yessy, I've had to do lots of research to try and pick the best one. I thought I would let you all know why chose to go with Etsy. Initially I was leaning towards Rubylane which is a really good place but you have to fall in one of 3 categories antiques, collectibles and or jewelry. Yes I do make jewelry but when you land in that category you can't have any of the fun accessories I've been trying to get added to my line of jewelry like hair peices or cell charms. Yessy seemed to be another good place but after doing lots of research I found out that if you are in canada one their shipping regulations would end up making my shipping price start at 12.00 and up I didn'd really want to put that on my customers! So in the end I went with etsy I'm still adding items to my shop but go and check it out www.wyredonwire.etsy.com I will be added new stuff frequently to try and get my store stocked so check in frequently!

Off Topic

While this is completely off the jewelry topic I love so much I found a website I wanted to share. It's a forum actually but its also so much more than that you can start a blog there they have a spot for your profile and friends, it's like myspace meets forums. The best part is that you actually get paid for participation it's not much but if your gonna be a part of these things anyway why not earn a few dollars for it. They get paid from the advertisements and basically they give some of that money back to the people on the sites making the ads work for them. I think it's a great idea!

April Birthstone

Wow! Another month has come and gone. Where exactly do they go I don't know, I was hoping to get this posted sooner. April's traditional birthstone is Diamond (in most birthstone jewelry it's actually CZ or white topaz ). While diamonds may be a girls bestfriend I prefer something with a little more color luckily theres a nice long list of not so traditional birthstones to choose from.

Traditiona- Diamond

Zodiac:
Aries- (mar.22-apr.20) Bloodstone, Topaz, Aquamarine

Taurus-(apr.21-may.21) Agate, Emerald, Garnet

Cultural- Sapphire

This is just a short reference birthstones acn actually get pretty indepth
Have a Great Day!

Not So Traditional Birthstone

Sterling Silver Necklace with Amethyst (picses birthstone)

My Birthday is in April the traditional birthstone for April is diamond, growing up I always got birthstone jewelry, while very appreciative I was always envious of the birthstones with color. Eventually as time went on being involved with research for my jewelry

for sale at :

business I learned that there are many birthstones besides the traditonal. There are birthstone charts for different cultures, religions and zodiac so if your looking for something a little different and not so traditional you can pick from a whole list every month I will give you a list of not so tradional birthstones. Because this blog is new March's birthstones are coming in a little late but better than waiting a whole year:

Traditional- Aquamarine

Zodiac- pisces(feb 22 -mar 21) - Amethyst, Ruby, Bloodstone and Jasper

Aries (mar 22-april 20)-Bloodstone, topaz, sapphire, Jasper and Aquamarine

Additional Cultural Birthstones- Opal and Hematite

This is really just a short reference list there really is a lot of info out there on birthstones for me to give you all that info at once I would have to write a book. Theres even Birthstones for hour of birth so if your not satisfied with these options you can look further and I'm sure you'll find a birthstone that you truly love.

Missing my jewelry

I recently moved across canada. I made this move on an airplane with two kids and four suitcases this being said you can understand why I was unable to bring my jewelry making supplies with me. Never before did I realize how addicted I was to making jewelry. I know realize its not just a love it's an addiction but fiance told me at least its not crack lol! He has a good sense of humor but I cant help but wonder which is more expensive!
