shop finally open again....

  i need to remind myself next time i wait to list jewelry in my shop that it.takes.forever.to.do.more.than.a.few pieces at a time...   to take the various photos, to edit them...   to sit and wait for my computer connection to be up and running again after turning itself off and off and off over and over again.... to get the light showing through gemstones and glass just so...   to spend a full week doing all of this, the photographing and the editing, the attempts to list, and list again.... to spend long afternoons and evenings sitting on the porch with cursed laptop trying to make things run as smoothly as they can...
  to wait for the light to be bright enough, to be just right, to not be too washed out or white, or overly bright....   to sort through the pieces and look at them again for the first time after a couple of months have passed by, or to pull together the brand new ones from two weeks before and hope that they convey the emotions experienced far out west while making them - to hope for all the best in this....   well, it's a lot to hope for, all of this.  but here i am, here they are, here is my heart on my sleeve.  that's it for now, there are more pieces  over in my etsy shop  than i am showing here; i'll be waiting for a couple of weeks before featuring other things, then .... and up next here at ornamental, i'll write a post featuring some parting shots of colorado that i've been saving to share with you.  that's where my heart is, too.  xo   (see if you can find the trinket, hung with love on the gentle giant there)  xo

I love technology for allowing me to view these beautiful pieces but oh it can be so frustrating . Your patience and persistence are admirable and I'm heading on over to the shop.

I found it...it's in the heart of the tree...

I'm not sure how long it took you to get everything up but it sure looks wonderful...Thank you for your patience and care.

We all are so grateful that you care about US so much that you will go through all you do to get the photos right, to talk to us, to list in you etsy shop, to brighten our days by sharing yours with us. We have our frustrations too, and sympathize. Thank you so much.

is there someone to troubleshoot your wifi network or entire internet set-up? I would call the techs, not the service reps, and see what's up. there may be a simple way to improve performance. if all else fails I would take all my pics, then go into town near a better wifi with laptop then download and list on etsy from there. there is not much as irratating as poor internet service! thing is there is usually a solution and it takes a bit of bulldozing to insist on it with provider. despite all, the beauty and love of your jewels shines

so so beautiful! you inspire me!

Your stuff is just so beautiful. And I know exactly what you mean about the time involved in producing, photographing and posting. And I'm not a very patient person so sometimes I just throw photos up that aren't so great which doesn't do me any favors.

I agree with Vickie above. Our wifi was wonky a few months ago and I went to a local coffee shop and loaded up my Etsy things. 1-2-3. Slow uploads can drive one nuts.

Well worth the wait. xM

Lovely, lovely new jewelry pieces, Nina. And your little puzzle photo made me smile - I bet the tree was smiling too.

Time well spent, and it's that attention to details that make you who you are Nina. We celebrate you!! Now if the computer would cooperate. I am happy to be the owner of the cross piece shown here. I LOVE it. It's amazing. You are amazing.
