Expressions Gallery and Gift Shop–MAYbe, MAYbe Not

A small confession, as I was unable to break into the gallery for a current photograph of the inventory: this photo is of my very own jewelry creations and all will be available for purchase in the upcoming months. The jewelry items (pictured left to right) are a bracelet and necklace of lavender serpentine, and necklaces of cherry jade and pearl, yellow jasper, two-strands of pearl and garnet with a magnetic clasp, Brazilian fire agate also with a magnetic clasp, Amazonite, and gray pearl with metal charms. Many thanks to my hubby for the photo, but the comforter and teddy are just props and not for sale! Also included in the photo are items made for Knimble Kneedles charitable distribution, including a lapghan and chemo hats for children and teens at Banner Thunderbird and baby caps for Banner Estrella. Similar items are always available in the gallery to raise money for the club’s charitable work.
