Rickson Salkeld makes every Cat Lovers Dream come true on Modern Cat and Gizmodiva

I've been getting a lot of interest in my Cat Lover Jewellery and it's turning into tons of sales! I thought I'd google 'Rickson Cat Jewellery' and I found a hot feature on Gizmodiva and ModernCat (great site!). Here's what they had to say about me at Gizmodiva: *blush*
'This one goes out especially for those who love wearing jewelry and if there is anything they love second to that it’s their love for cats. Canadian jewelry artist Rickson Salkeld has brought these two together by combining the feline with feminine pieces of jewelry. These breathtaking and beautiful pieces are created with lost wax casting using precious metals. There is a benevolent side to the designer as well as A portion of all cat jewelry sales will be donated to the Toronto Humane Society.' There’s cat lover necklace for $139.99, cat lover ring for $135.00, brass cat lover pendant for $68.00 and cat lover earrings which go for $127.00.

Crafty Little Devils Annual Show

Hi Everyone,
What a great Christmas Show! We gathered together 12 very talented local Jewellers and Crafts People for our show. (Scroll down for their links). We served Hot Apple Cider along with baked goods and of course displayed and sold our unique, handmade gifts!
The most popular piece of the show was the Pop In Set. Also my sweet Ballerina necklace sold right away. *sniff* I miss her! But of course I can make her again and again. :)

Also Laura from Dejavu designs is making me a pair of her 'Alladin' slippers with high leg warmer like tops. Sarah Wan, our gracious host got a pair of super cool arm warmers from her.
