Phoenix Ladies Disc Golf Tournament

Some how my husband has convinced me to play in a woman's only Disc Golf tournament . There is one nice part about a tournament which is that Tyler is going to be my caddy! I ended up getting 7th out of 15 in my division so I feel ok about it! It was a great day in the sun and was a great experience!

here are a few links for more info...

the Best Inspiration

It is emails and customers like Vicki that keep me going. This made my entire week and gave me so much motivation when it was needed the most! It was a wonderful surprise to open my email after a long day of my day job to find this....

"Hi, I just wanted to write and tell you that I've bought some of your earrings and one of your Scrabble necklaces from the Pack & Ship in Chandler. I especially think the Scrabble necklaces are brilliant! What a clever idea, and they're so pretty. . . I bought one as a gift for my sister.
I just bookmarked your web site and will remember it for future gifts and etc.

Butterflies!

What a great new find! I saw a butterfly pendant on a lady at work and absolutely loved it! So I asked where she got her necklace (not thinking that she made it) and she told me she bought it on Lima Beads. So I went home and found the site. What great items! My order should be in soon!
sneak peak...

I LOVE COACH

A while ago I noticed my Coach purse had a few snags in the fabric and didn't think much of it. My husband on the other hand was upset that after 7 months of having this purse it already looks bad. I understood as we paid a lot of money for it and it wasn't lasting that long. So My husband made us go to Coach to see if they could repair it. The whole way there I thought they would make me send it away and would have to pay $$ to have it fixed, but to my surprise they didn't put up a fight at all and gave me 2 options! One; exchange for the same purse right then. Two; give me store credit for what that purse was worth! Superior customer service! So I couldnt pass up the option of getting a new Coach and therefore we spent the next 20 min looking for a new purse! I was over the big bag and didnt want 2 shoulder straps so this one was perfect! I love it and love COACH!

In stores near you!

Well I did it! It took some courage but I talked with the owner of Animal Kingdom and he has approved my jewelry to be sold in the stores! They are testing out at the Superstition Springs Mall and if they go well hopefully they will be in all the Animal Kingdom & Puppies N Love stores!

Bone carved Earrings

These earrings feature bone that was carved to make these one of a kind. No I didn't carve them myself but I wish I did! I found similar earrings a long time ago and are in my top 5 to wear, so when I came across them again I couldn't resist! Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

My little Corner...

Well I think I have finally organized my little creative corner to fit my needs! If you ever wondered where I get stuff done, you can now picture me sitting here for hours on end. (plus we just put up decorative shelves) Anyways, I spent a lot of time today organizing so hopefully it will be easier to sit down and get jewelry done without having to spend most of my time looking for stuff.

A couple weeks ago, my favorite bead store here in town had a huge 35% off everything in the store sale. So I found some fabulous beads and had to show these off! I actually bought them thinking of my sister-in-law who birthday was coming up. I made a pair for her and then last week I made another pair for myself and absolutely love them! As she says, the bigger the better!

Dog line!

My love for animals is now showing it self in my jewelry! The scrabble pendants are so fabulous and great I decided to be a bit more creative and put an animal flare into them. Hope you enjoy! Go to www.silverdapplejewelry.com to check them out!

Asking a small favor of you...

Dear Friends and Family...and future customers!

I have a promotional give away that you might (read: BETTER) be interested in. I recently purchased a handful of car window decals. I have placed them on both of our cars; Tyler is super excited about them on the 4Runner :)

I have 15 smaller stickers available for give away. Here is the deal; the first 15 people who reply to this email (there are 90 people getting this email) and are willing to put my sticker on the back window of their car will receive a FREE pendant, the pendants are made on the back of a scrabble piece and are really nice! These will be retailing in my store for $6 without a ribbon, or $8 with the ribbon. I will send you the pendant and ribbon Free of charge...even shipping is free! Do you get the deal, FREE!!! Here is the stipulation, you must place the sticker on your car, and then you have to email me a photo of the sticker on your car before I ship your necklace.

The first 15 people get the deal, if I have enough interest I will consider more stickers, but they aren't cheap! Attached you will find a photo of the sticker, and the pendants. Just reply back with your address you want the sticker sent to and it will be on its way!

Thanks! Claire

Scrabble Pendants are here!

Scrabble pendants are the newest, hottest thing out there! They are totally affordable and a great conversational piece.

Each pendant will come in an organza bag, making it ideal for giving as a gift.

Although it is sealed with a clear thick NON-TOXIC high gloss glaze they are not water resistant. Each pendant is made from a used Scrabble tile piece and approx. is .75" x .75" square. Not intended for small children.

Go see them for yourself at www.silverdapple.etsy.com or www.silverdapplejewelry.com


Thank you!

I have had so much fun with the new paper! Here a some of the pendants I have made. Now I am just waiting for the bali to connect them to a necklace. I also had fun making the bracelet. To be honest the bracelet was an experiment and it turned out fabulous!! I'm not sure whether I will sell it or not, that is how happy I am with it. Just wanted to share...

All of you should be happy that I just lowered my prices on most of my items on Etsy. I have had items on there for almost a month and haven't had much success so I lowered my prices. So go check it out!

how I got my name...

Silver Dapple
Is a color type in several types of dogs that is spotted or swirled color on top of their normal colorings. In Dachshunds it is a silvery color, hense the name Silver Dapple. My Dachshund is Silver Dapple and when I was trying to think of a good name she was whining at my feet wanting to be held and loved as normal. She (Tinker) is a perfect lap dog and has the most unique markings. She is a great snuggler, camping partner, singer, and dog!

starting...

I decided to start this blog in hopes a couple different things. The main idea is to share where I get my thoughts for creations and then the outcome. I also hope to share special finds that I absolutely love and who knows what else I will come up with to share with all of you! I hope you enjoy this and feel free to leave comments because who knows where that will lead me to!
