How to Care for your Pandora Style Jewelry
 

1. Remove your jewelry before bathing, swimming or any water activities.
2.  Remove your jewelry before doing household tasks such as gardening, cleaning, repairs or other strenuous activities.
3. Remove before going to bed at night.
4.   Glass or enamel beads
- Wipe with a damp soft cloth. (I use and sell some cloths that are remarkable! Ask me about them the next time you're in.)
5. Silver plated bracelets, necklaces, beads & earrings
Unlike sterling silver, silver plating will eventually wear in due time. Proper cleaning, maintenance, and storage are critical for extending its life usage. Some silver plated jewelry will last longer than others depending on the thickness of its layer.
Polishing cloths are highly recommended. They are not abrasive and it will remove tarnish without a lot of effort. And guess what? I sell them as well!
6. Frequent cleaning is recommended to maintain its true beauty. Salt water, chlorine, soap, perfumes, personal products and perspiration take their toll on all jewelry.
7. Storing your jewelry in a resealable plastic bag will help prevent tarnish. Also, out on the market are anti tarnish papers.

Hello ladies and welcome to
Willow Ridge Creations' newsletter. If you are receiving this for the first time, thank you for visiting my shop and most importantly for your continued interested in WRC.

 

As most of you know, the European (Pandora) style beads & jewelry touch my heart and will always be the "CORE" of what  Willow Ridge Creations is all about, but I also love "ART" in all forms. My vision of where I want to take this company includes anything that encompasses beauty, anything that brings a smile to a person's face. Many ask if I love what I do and the answer is always and emphatically..YES! It's wonderful to stand back and watch as someone creates their very first beaded bracelet, insisting they have no idea what to do. But soon and with a very little direction from me, they've created and to their amazement, a piece of art! Just to see that look of wonder and accomplishment is why I do what I do. It's what drives me to do more, have more for you. I want to bring you a shopping experience, whether you are buying or you just need to escape every-day's little hassles , that's what I want to provide for each and every one of you. I know from personal experience how having someplace like that can and maybe only for a few moments, take you to a peaceful and a happy place. Some ladies tell me coming to  

WRC is cheaper than a therapy session with their doctor! So whatever your reason or need, please come on in and see me, I'll do my best to make you smile at least once!

 

Now for some extremely exciting news! I truly believe all things happen for a reason. Last month and just yesterday, two wonderful and very talented artists were sent my way, Stephanie Traugh of Logan, Ohio and Jenn Ross of Bexley, Ohio. These women absolutely made me speechless and for me you know that's quite a feat, with their pieces of art! Stephanie's specialty is copper art and Jenn's is anything polymer clay, including beads! They both have agreed to let Willow Ridge Creations sell their products on consignment. As women, they have their own stories and struggles and I am committed to help them succeed. I know you will be in awe of their work as I, and help spread the word. Their amazing products are featured below and are ready to buy...so please stop in and check them out this weekend!  

 

Another reason to stop in this weekend, how about a SALE TO BEAT ALL SALES!     

 
Announcements 

I'm so pleased to announce the addition of the beautiful works of copper art by up and coming local artist, Stephanie Traugh of Mystic Glass and Creations!

 

 

The minute I saw Stephanie's creations out of copper, I knew I had to have them. She is absolutely amazing with what she can do with copper and she's only been at it for a few months!  Along with the pieces in the shop, Stephanie will create that special something just for you! And I can't believe her prices...I'm talking extremely reasonable!
Come on in and check out the piece she created just for me, it's awesome and I love it!   

 

I'm extremely excited to welcome the amazing works of Jenn Ross of Jenn Edwards Design, to Willow Ridge Creations. Her work with polymer clay is amazingly beautiful and breathtaking.


  

 

Jenn is the answer to my prayers. I've been searching for that something EXTRA for our bracelets and yesterday Jenn walked into my life. If you think you know Polymer Clay, "you ain't seen nothing yet, until now!" If you're not familiar with this amazing product, let's just say they are indestructible! They won't fade, scratch, break or chip, ever! Every bead has it's own unique fingerprint, so to speak, and every one is different and unique to Jenn!   

 

Available now in the shop, and this is where you beaders come in, I have a few hundred of these breathtaking beads ready for you to buy. All shapes, sizes (8mm to 19mm) & colors, including, wait for it....BUCKEYES!    

 

Now for our everything Pandora Style, we will have the beads available in about two weeks. But don't let that stop you from coming in and checking out her work. It will add to your anticipation and excitement of when you can purchase these works of art to your bead collection. And yes, she is creating specialty pieces like Buckeye beads, colors for OU, Logan and Lancaster, and breast cancer ribbon beads to start out. Then add in holiday beads, we'll have it all! 

 

And it doesn't stop there, Jenn has embroidery needles, writing pens, cabinet knobs, embellished with polymer clay and the list goes on. Near future, I'm hoping to carry some of these products as well. 

 

You will not and cannot purchase these beads from any other store, person, website anywhere, except at Willow Ridge Creations! Jenn has offered me exclusivity to her beads!    

 

Remember you are purchasing works of art, every bead is created individually by Jenn, they don't take seconds to make they take days! These beads will last forever. What beautiful gifts they will make.     

 

Well, OK, I hope I've whet your appetite enough with these new offerings.

 

And don't forget the awesome pieces by Kathie Bibler! Are we lucky are what? Yesterday, Kathie brought in two most amazing and beautiful sun catchers, I've ever seen! I asked her if she could put together something for our wonderful out-of-towners; some item that would remind them of their stay in Hocking Hills. Well, she hit the ball right out of the park with these sun catchers! They hang on a chain created out of Swarovski crystals, with "Hocking Hills" spelled out in individual beads, and a beautiful large crystal at the end. I didn't have a chance to take a picture, so I'll guess you'll just have to come in and check these out as well!

 

Ladies, I'm (we're) so blessed to have these wonderful artists available only to Willow Ridge Creations so come on in , check it out and take a piece of art home today!

 

SAVE THE DATE! Mark September 22 & 23 on your calendars. We're having a "Meet the Artists" weekend! I haven't put all of the details together as yet, but I can guarantee you, it's going to be a blast!
