Be a Traveling Jewelry Merchant

There must be a little gypsy in my blood, because I think the idea of becoming a traveling jewelry merchant at craft shows and fairs sound just about like the most perfect thing in life.  The freedom of coming and going as you choose, selling things you make and are a part of you, and meeting interesting people all across the country, seems so cool, so romantic, that I don’t know why more people don’t.

March's Birthstone: Aquamarine

Aquamarine is a beautiful stone, in a delicate and dainty sort of way.  The light blue hues match well with so many things, and looking a quality specimen is like looking into the clear sky or tropical ocean.  Those lucky enough to have March for a birth month get to enjoy this delicate color, and all the benefits and healing properties of this enchanting stone.
