BATTLE of Jewelry Maker inventory programs






























Hi all,


I am super excited about all of the great energy this New Year is bringing!   The theme so far, is money, money management, efficiency, and all that is small business related.  I have been in search for a software-accounting-inventory system that would work for my #smallbusiness needs.  After years of eyeing  JEWELRY DESIGNER MANAGER I have finaly ruled it out.  It seems perfect in many ways.  They have multiple editions depending on your needs (including a craft edition)!!!!!  Being that I am a die hard Mac user, I would have to run parallels or boot camp in order to use it.   I wanted it so badly, that I even purchased bootcamp.  However it took up space on my hardrive, and I still needed to buy a windows operating system + microsoft office.   And that my friends was cost prohibitive for me.  




Soooooooooo  I did some research and purchased BEAD MANAGER PRO!   It is Mac & Windows compatible.  It was only $160 (with tax), and came with a lot of SWAG (aka free stuff).  Part of the Swag included a Jewelry Business Free tips ebook which you can also get for Free if you visit their Facebook page.  The features seem comparable to the Jewelry Designer Manager program mentioned above.  I even like Bead Manager Pro's interface. 


Since I just purchased it tonight, and can't wait to play with it,  I will update you soon on the ins and outs of this program as well as others I have used on a trial basis.  


Until next time, 


KEEP CREATING!!!!!!!!!!!!

New cocktail Rings: CRYPTONITE RINGS IN BRASS



"Cryptonite" Rings

My newest creations!  I have had all of these stones for some time now.  I just had to find the right time for them to speak to me.  The Copper nugget (upper left), I purchased while on a road trip with mom in Norther California.  I spotted a Gem shop and had to make a detour.  For some crazy reason I only bought two of these spectacular stones :(   So the moral of the story is these rings in particular (with these stones) are a limited edition run.  But don't worry because I am always inspired by rare materials and beautiful gems !!!  

I have been told I have a wonderful eye (wink!)  So if you miss out on this set, there are more to come.

Rosie the Riveters 1938




Rosie the Riveters | 1938


Young African American women employed by the Douglas Aircraft Company in Long Beach, California, 1938. Two of thousands of African Americans who moved to California and through the West Coast during World War II to find work in arms and munitions plants.






This is my new favorite picture.  It sums up a part of my cultural-family-and personal style history.  It is a foreshadowing of what could be know as "california" style.  From the modern day rockabillys', to the girls of east LA.   It is a snapshot of keeping it sexy, but able to work a power tool.     
I am so inspired by these ladies.  Maybe its because my grandfather worked/retired from this same Douglas Aircraft.  Whatever the case these Woman ROCK!!!!

A hug and a kiss to all of you who came out to Atlantic Antic!!!  It was a success thanks to you.  I appreciate your loyality (especially Roger), and encouragement. 



This year Aingeel-Z was stationed near Atlantic & Bond St, which was all the way live!!!   Not only was there a Gospel Choir Singing, it was booths away from Khamit Kinks (the renowned natural hair salon where I work at) I was able to see clients, send clients over, and use their lovely rest room facilities.




Enough about the location, lets see some photos!





Sheryl And I had a great time catching up.  Can't wait for us to get together for jewelry night, since she is a fellow jewelry artist.
