Take The Experts With You
Greetings!

When I left you last month I was knee-deep into editing the Home Run Guide. I'm not knee deep anymore, I'm neck-deep! I'm happy to report the book is just days away from publication.

 

The Home Run Guide is for all of you who love to look for cool stuff at garage sales, estate sales, flea markets and thrift shops.

 


Some of the topics covered include 35mm camera lenses, kitchen collectibles, tiki mugs, designer clothing, collectible glass, vintage luggage, movie posters, fast food toys, and a whole lot more!

 

I've also been busy working with my suppliers to add new products to the store. I just received a shipment of texturing hammers and anvils and bench blocks to help you shape, texture and finish your wire and metal projects.

 

I'm always on the lookout for new tools and supplies. Is there anything that you are looking for that I can help you find? Just send me an e-mail and if it is out there I'll find it for you!

 

Keep creating,


Charlene Anderson 

 


How Do You Measure Up?

 

Digital Caliper

Whether is is measuring beads, gemstones, ring sizes, or wire gauge, I've got the rulers, gauges and measuring tools you need.

A digital caliper is such a great all-around measuring tool that you'll wonder how you got along without it. You can use it to measure wire, beads, jump rings and a whole lot more. Add a depth gauge (used to measure the depth of holes and slots), a folding ruler, and a ring sizer, and you'll have a great set of tools to measure almost anything.

 

You can find all these great measuring tools and more in my store..

 

October Birthstone: Tourmaline 

  

Tourmaline

The birthstone for October is tourmaline. There are 14 officially recognized varieties of tourmaline. Tourmaline varies in color from black, yellow, green, pink, light blue, dark blue, and colorless.

 

Some crystals of tourmaline can contain multiple colors....one end is green and the opposite end is pink to red in color.

 

You can learn more about the gorgeous Tourmaline in my eBay Guide.
