Day 6 of posting content instead of avoiding it. This 7in bracelet (could flex smaller) is signed ‘R’ and has a tiny bit of pyrite [fool’s gold]. It is currently $150 on our website.

Day 4 of posting content instead of avoiding it. Verdict is in, but mixed on posting available vs unavailable items. However almost everything in both images IS still available.

I overanalyze whether it’s right/weird to post images of pieces that have already sold or aren’t for sale. On one hand, it’s celebrating/showcasing Turquoise and the art of Native American jewelry. On the other hand, is it misleading / annoying that a shop would feature things that aren’t available?

My verdict is that I’m going to share this bomb content by regardless. And if anyone falls in love with any of the many things I can’t offer, I guarantee 100% I can point you in the direction of finding something extremely comparable.

Last year, I had an eBay order for a Becenti storyteller piece to ship to San Antonio just before I was traveling there. It sparked a friendship with .in.san.antonio, an avid collector of his work with an enviable hoard. It’s been an honor to continue adding to his collection.

My late Aunt Suzie lived in Topeka, loved Native jewelry and the Southwest, and had three nieces (I’m the middle one).

Before Christmas, a popup customer was in from Topeka, loved Native jewelry and the Southwest, and got these earrings for his three nieces (plus girlfriend).

The departed are always with us. (Actually, I JUST noticed this photo also shows my wooden antique cheese box that came from husband’s late father, an artist who collected objects for photography/painting).

Day 1 of posting unpublished content I’ve been sitting on. Done is better than perfect. Done is perfect. Thank you to those compassionate folks who are patient despite when my perfectionism is paralyzing. Here’s to a HDTQ that will be showing up consistently.
