Interview:
For my day job, I am an assistant manager for a bank. Jewelry has given me a creative outlet that my profession does not provide!
My husband joined the Navy and we were moved to a different state where I didn't have a lot of friends or family. To occupy my time, I started experimenting with jewelry making by getting a kit from Walmart and following the directions. After a lot of trial and error, I found my own groove! Jewelry making gives me a hobby while my husband is away, and provides me with a little extra spending money.
3. What are five words you would use to describe your Etsy business?
Affordable, simple, classy, fun, and wearable.
4. Your dream job?
My dream job right now is being able to start a family, stay home with my children, and sell my jewelry online. I would love to quit my 9 to 5 job, however, I still don't know what I want to be when I "grow up". :)
5. Five words that you'd use to describe yourself?
Generous, dependable, cheerful, outgoing, and easygoing.
6. Anything else you would like to tell potential buyers?
I love knowing my creations make people's day brighter when they wear them. In my shop you will find quality items sold at a decent price that will stand up to every day wear and can be worn year round. I offer a deal through the holidays for all my rings and earrings, if you buy 3, the 4th one is free! My items make wonderful gifts, but you might just want to keep them for yourself! I also like to do custom orders, and I have had several brides use my pieces as gifts for their ladies.
7. Most played song on your playlist?
Little White Church by Little Big Town (so country yet so catchy!)
Review:
I was sent a pair of ivory rose earrings to test out. They came on a card like the above picture and were in a cute, hot pink, organza bag. They also came with two different kinds of backers, which was great.
I love the simplicity of the earrings. They would look great with almost any outfit, in other words they can be dressed up or down as the day requires.
They're also extremely well priced over at her store. Awesome deal.
Where you can buy one: Right over at Beads by Desi on Etsy. They would make AWESOME stocking stuffers or great ideas for your co-workers.

A note for The Man: Beads by Desi provided me with a pair of earrings for review and is offering this prize for promotional purposes. I am not getting paid for this promotion, but I was given the earrings for free. While it was sweet that I got a free pair of earrings, the free nature of said earrings did not influence my review of the product.
