MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
At my house "Rudolph & Frosty" are already playing on the DVD player, my three little girls are very excited about Christ- mas season!! Tonight we head down to our Town Square to watch the Courthouse Christmas Tree lighting...and of course Kris Kringle himself will arrive (on leave) from the North Pole! Come to Waxahachie, Texas to the Candlelight Tour of Historical Homes,the Parade,and Bethlehem Revisited! That in itself is an awesome sight...where ancient Bethlehem is recreated and you can walk the streets that Mary(on donkey no less) & Joseph did heading to the Inn,and ending up at the stable. A must see !! And of course come see Turquoise Rayn at the annual Waxahachie Junior Service League's "Christmas Market" here:http://waxahachiejsl.org/Christmas_Market.html we would LOVE to see you!
Just a short update to tell you what we have been up to. Our first two shows of the season were
wonderful! We met a lot of new TR customers,and the weather was perfect.
We have exciting new designs posting weekly on our www.turquoiserayn.etsy.com website!
Carol is making the most GORGEOUS Shawls,Handbags & Vests (her faux fur textiles are made in the USA,but the fur is from Europe! Exquiste!! Loaded with vintage,antique,antler,and handmade metal buttons!! And Just in from a little Elf I know....CAROL is rumored to have made some "FUR STOCKINGS" ooh la la !! Amazing Artisan Crafted Textiles...come check them out!
I have been buried in my studio for weeks now creating.I call myself a "Closet Beader" haha. It's very calming for me to go back to were I started. I love making ancient looking treasure necklaces...most get sold at shows before they hit the store, so I doubled my production to list a few online! They include a little of everything... Natural Honed Antler, Neolithic, Antique Trade Beads & Handcrafted Metal (sheet and clay) designs that I have had the most fun making. As most of you know, the more ancient & dug up a design looks the better.It takes a lot of work to make the look resemble and artifact.Where many love perfection...I am the total opposite :o) !! I guess I should have been an archeologist! Ancient buried stories keep me on the hunt for more! But more than that it is a very spiritual experience every time I sit down to work.I start with a prayer to help me create,and when finished, ask for Blessing for the one who will wear it. Enough said. :o)
I will be adding some Holiday recipes and stories in the next few weeks.An inside glimpse of what makes TR tick,and continued updates on new product. I send all of you "Love & Light" and pray you a safe journey as you come and go during the busy season! God Bless, Jennifer

Welcome to our first Official Post! I am hoping to give you all a little insight into what we do, how we create, and maybe even a glimpse into our personal journey. As far as Turquoise Rayn is concerned,we're filling our Etsy store www/turquoiserayn.etsy.com with a few summer items,but in full swing on our Fall/Winter 2012-13 designs. Please stop by often and browse.Our doors are always open,
Here are a couple of our summer "Painted Desert" collection designs...COLOR was our goal.and I think we achieved it. I have created a "Desert Wedding" jewelry line. A bit unusual,but perfect for Santa Fe vows!! Carol has designed brightly colored bags,and I have been adding clasps for her handbags.Nice team effort!
I'm hoping to post at least two times a week, feel free to stop in anytime. Blessings,Jen

Welcome to my first Post! PLease accuse me while I design ,and probably redesign the blog.After all I am an Artist,and a Woman, so that pretty much sums it up.Right?
I am so looking forward to sharing with a perhaps a new audience. And welcome my old friends.
I promise to show you different areas of my life...my art, yes. But even a recipe or two, maybe my roses,or my best made designs...my 3 little girls. And even a tutorial or two,and a picture diary of a few of my design process'. PLease visit often as I am committing here in now to Blog at least 2x's a week, if not more.
Here I will also give you heads up on new listings,sales events & shows. I look forward to meetin g each one of you,and hearing your comments. Until we meet again, May all days be creative! Cheers! Jen
