This week I

jewelry which she creates herself. She is currently running a "Christmas
in July" sale in my Etsy shop. So read on and find out how you can get
your Christmas shopping done early!

1. My "day" job is as the owner and operator of a dog boarding kennel which my husband and I have at our home, though we both started out in a very technical field. I have a strong background in science, but have always needed a creative outlet as well (crochet, knitting, drawing, painting), and jewelry making has become my most recent creative passion.
2. I discovered Etsy in 2010, I don't recall exactly, but I probably read about it somewhere online.
3. After making as much jewelry as one person could reasonably wear for myself, then moving on to my family and friends, I decided to try to bring my creations to a wider audience so that I could keep creating new pieces without having to rent space to store it all!
4. I sell handmade jewelry which is focused on the use of natural, undyed gemstone beads.
5. I've always loved the phrase "garden of earthly delites", and since I prefer to use natural gemstones from the earth in my jewelry, I wanted to call my shop Earthly Delights--but that name was already taken on Etsy! So I had to modify it so it would be unique and still fit the character limit, so I became Donna's Earthly Delites.
6. My shop specializes in quality handmade jewelry created using natural undyed gemstone beads.
