Wednesday Friendsday: Link Up Your Blogs for More Friends and Fans!

Welcome to Wednesday Friendsday, hosted by Team Discovery!

The rules are simple:

• Follow our blog.
• Add the URL (link) of your own blog to the list below.
• Follow as many fellow sellers and teammates as you wish.
• Leave them a comment letting them know you came from Wednesday Friendsday!
• That's it! Thanks so much for stopping by and helping us help and support you!

Jeweled Bookmarks

I love to read. Love it.
I am always using random pieces of paper, usually junk mail, to mark my place in books.

But I'm a jeweler and I love sparkling things so why not combine reading with my love of all things glittering and sparkling?

Jeweled bookmarks! Yes!
Now available for purchase here.
