This is one of my necklaces that I frequently carry in my shop. The Catholic Company will also carry this in their catalog in 2015!

Hooray! I 've been able to access my blog with my sister's help! I couldn't post anything for a long while.
Here are a few things to update you.
I went to the Christ Our Life Conference in Des Moines Iowa. It was wonderful to see Cardinal Dolan!
I also had a great time with my friends who are fellow Catholic artisans.

Here are a few things that I've done recently and I also can't forget to mention the Catholic Marketing Network show that I did in Chicago. That was a rewarding experience!

Now for the fall! I'm busy creating new pieces to post on my Etsy site. I will add more towards mid October to late October until Christmas. Wow, hard to believe that is only a short time away. I still want to enjoy fishing at my favorite lake before it gets too cold.

It's been a busy busy busy summer. Getting ready for shows, making new pieces.
I also made a new web site! www.gailgirondesign.com
There are retail AND wholesale items listed. No doubt the rest of the year will be busy with new styles featuring silver.

My heart was overflowing with joy as my nephew was ordained deacon this past weekend!

It's becoming a very busy Spring. I am working on new pieces in the process.
 I am happy and grateful. Here are a couple of photos for you to enjoy from the area where we live.

These bull elk are nodding off to sleep. They could barely keep their eyes open!

In honor of the canonization of sainthood of Pope John Paul II The Great, here is a gemstone bracelet with a vintage medal from France. How fitting, a beautiful detailed image of Our Lady of Czestochowa is on the reverse. A small silver plated crucifix is also a reminder of Christ's love for us!
