Dear friend,

Welcome to the Lantana Designwear newsletter! I have thought and fought with a name for this newsletter! I just can not come up with something catchy. I am asking you to help name it. If your name for the newsletter is chosen, I will feature your web site (if you have one) and give you a $20 gift certificate for jewelry from Lantana Designwear.

Now, just grab a cup of coffee or tea and sit back and enjoy our newsletter.

Feature Jewelry

The long cold winter has inspired me to create some bright and cheerful spring jewelry. I've used flowers in my designs to simulate the feel of spring. It warms and cheers me up as I bend and twist the wire to attach flower after flower to the earrings or bracelets that are on my work bench. I use bright colors of pink, purple, fuchsia and green. What better way to feel alive and rejuvenated than to have a spring bouquet attached to your arm!

Chandelier Earrings, In or Out?

The debate is on. Are chandelier earrings in or out? Some say that they are out while others insist that they are still the hottest item of the season. Chandelier earrings are still going strong in Hollywood, for the second year with no signs of stopping. Look around you! TV, movies, news broadcasters, at the mall.......... I see chandelier earrings everywhere! I say, "IN!" What do you say?

Feature Link Partners Website

I chose this site as my feature website because I have "met" Pat on a few forums and have gotten to know her. She is such a giving person! Pat can make something out of nothing. Literally! I had admired a "clay" pot that she had on her website. She informed me that it was made out of magazines and newspaper. Pat is a true artist and I hope that you will visit her site. Be sure to check out her tutorial for her polymer clay pinch pot.

Poko Designs - Full line of functional & decorative art using polymer clay & a variety of other material. Handcrafted items for your home, office and body.

Use a fabric softener to dust your TV. This is probably something that everyone already knew but me. My TV collects dust like you would not believe. Every three days I have some art work on my TV from my kids. Using the fabric softener keeps the TV from becoming a dust magnet. It really works!!

The March winner will be announced in the April 8th newsletter. Good luck!
