Todays First item is brought to you by me :O)
A bit about me...
I'm Canela the artist behind Cinnamon*Sticks. I Married to an amazing man, Robert. We live in CA with our 6 kiddies.
I've been making jewelry for 17 years now. I've spent the last three learning metal smithing.
How did I get started creating...
I've been making jewelry ever since I could remember. Making rings out of phone wire, bracelets out of fiber and buttons, but when I was 7 or 8 my parents took me to a jewelry shop with them to get my mom a new wedding ring. The jeweler let me checkout the tools and try a 6 carat diamond ring. That was it I knew I would be making jewelry for the rest of my life!
Favorite materials to work with....
Silver! copper, natural stones, hand made lampwork beads, pearls.
Favorite Christmas memory...
When Rob and I were dating he knew how much I loved Christmas. He went out and bought a little tree and a few decorations for it and surprised me by having it all set up in his apartment when I came to visit. He hates decorating and doing crafty things so it was so very special :O)
Every Christmas since comes close though. Watching the kids faces when we go look at Christmas lights and on Christmas morning.
Where do you sell?
I sell mostly through my etsy shop cinnamonsticks I sell in a few boutiques and at an occasional craft show
Todays item for the Grand Prize is this little cutie...
I added two rimmed initial charms to the soar necklace. I just love this design! If you have more than two kids you can add yours and your honey's initials. Or give it for a friend!
This necklace will go in to the grand prize that will be available to win at the end of the 12 days!
The Prize you can win today? These sweet little heart earrings made by me!
