.......Jewelry makes a great gift!
Birthdays, Graduations, Bachelorettes, Anniversaries - you might even get something in time for Mother's Day!

The website is chock full of fabulous gift ideas! Earrings are always perfect, especially when they are handmade and
one-of-a-kind! I can also whip up a pair of custom beauties for an extra-special gift. Check them out...

** (If you really do want something for Mother's Day, you'll need to order no later than Wednesday, and expedited
shipping charges may apply)

.......It's show time!
Upcoming events

I have two shows coming up in Colorado, both at the fabulous WildSide Studio in Frisco. Both are group shows, and I'm
thrilled to be exhibiting with other talented fine artists!

"Shades of Gray" - May 14 - June 1, 2008
This is a multi-medium, black-and-white-themed show, and I've created new pieces just for the occasion! There's a
fantastic black sapphire ring, oodles of onyx and beautiful moonstone and howlite pieces. If you're on the area, be sure
to stop in and see this amazing show!

"Just Jewelry" - June 4-29, 2008
Talk about bling! An entire show dedicated to jewelry - brilliant! I will be one of several designers featured in this all-out
bauble fest. This one should NOT be missed!

WildSide Studio/Gallery 518 Main, Frisco, CO (970) 710-9026 www.wildsidestudio.net Hours: Tuesdays through
Saturdays 11:00 AM until 5:00 AM

.......Rings, Rings, Rings
Order a custom chunky ring!

HANDS DOWN (ahem!), the most popular of my creations to date is my wire-wrapped chunky ring! In addition to the
selection on my website, you are now able to order your own CUSTOM funky, chunky ring!!

Just choose a color or a stone (more than one is fine!) and I'll wrap up a one-of-a-kind ring just for you! All custom rings
are just $50 and in most cases will ship within 7-10 days of your order (if you're looking for a particularly elusive stone, it
may take longer, but I'll let you know right away!)

Also watch for my handmade fine silver creations...soon to be available as custom orders, too!

Dress Up Those Digits!!

.......Trunk Shows - and a special note to New England!
Throw a summer party & get free jewelry!

The calendar is starting to fill up with summer obligations...why not make one of them a Muse Jewelry trunk show? It's
lots of fun and at the end of the event, you get to choose some jewelry for yourself - at no charge! Not to mention, a
Muse show is different from any other jewelry party you've attended or hosted. All jewelry is one-of -a-kind and
handmade by me - and I bring the jewelry to the show and help your guests choose pieces that are right for them!
Here's how it works...

NEW ENGLANDERS!! I will be in Boston in late August, and am scheduling a few trunk shows while I'm there! If you are
in the Boston, Providence, Portland or Portsmouth areas and would like to host a show at your home, office, civic group,
etc...please sign up here!

Well, that's it! Short and sweet this month. I have to get back to creating new pieces for a busy month ahead! As always,
thank you for supporting me and telling all of your friends how much you love my work (hint, hint, hint...) Until next time...
