Thank you to my jewelry friends

Hi,

I would just like to say thank you to all of the wonderful people whom I have met since I started my jewelry business full time. It has been a scary time for me - taking the plunge! I have been overwhelmed by the support and encouragement that I have received from those in the industry and others in support networks. Pete Barrett in the Department of Innovation, Trade and Rural Development has been an inspiration and source of great advice. Tanya Jarvis Reid and Leanne Avery from NLOWE (Newfoundland and Labrador Organization of Women Entrepreneurs) have both been incredibly supportive. Thank you to all of the people who have attended the various workshops for patience and advice. I have made such wonderful friends.

Focus Group in St, John's

Just getting ready to attend a focus group at the Devon House in St. John's. It is sponsored by the Craft Council. I am really looking forward to it today. It should be very interesting. It is dealing with issues to do with jewellers in Newfoundland. I am still working on pricing my jewelry and on getting my Cancer Awareness jewelry ready for market.

Must get going.
Andrea
