It's November, and here in the Art Jewelry offices, our thoughts are turning to the Southwest — not because our Wisconsin locale means we've already got snow in the forecast, but because in February, the city of Tucson, Ariz., is inundated with countless vendors from every facet of the jewelry...

For some of you in warmer climes, it may already feel like summer. But here in Wisconsin, it's unseasonably cold. We've had a depressing lack of 60–70-degree days in the last three months. So when I came across a blog post from Spectrum Art & Jewelry , a gallery located in Wilmington, N.C...

Sitting on the windowsill next to my computer here at work is a little weekly calendar. Every Monday I tear off last week's page, which is also a photo postcard. I can then send off my little postcard to a friend or relative, or (as is more often the case) greedily not send it, and instead add it...

I recently went to Chicago to visit a good friend, and topping my list of must-do activities was a very overdue trip to the Art Institute of Chicago . I'm embarrassed to say that I live less than two hours from the city and haven't been to the museum in 12 years — all I could remember was that...

Plus, we even were able to hook up with some of our contributors. Oh yeah -- we did a bit of shopping too...

On Saturday morning I'll be on a plane headed to Tucson, AZ to attend their annual gem show bonanza . And the timing truly couldn't be better. Don't get me wrong, I love winter. ( Really , I do.) But the weather here in Wisconsin has been hovering around the negatives with wind-chill factors...

I celebrated my birthday this past Saturday. To me, turning 27 felt like such an overwhelmingly adult number (Silly I know, but "one step closer to thirty," and all that.), so I wanted to do something very adult to mark the occasion. And what better way than to fly 881 miles away to a glitzy...

It's been a busy month at Art Jewelry — as I'm reminded by looking at the date of the last blog entry here. How embarrassing. Ah, well, I'm sure we'll get the hang of this new-fangled technology sooner or later In the meantime, we have actually been up to quite a lot. I was out of the...
