Teacher Gifts - Practical Jewelry Ideas
OK - so this is a personal blog. I'm a retired teacher and I received many wonderful gifts over the years I taught from many wonderful students. But the ones I most appreciated were the practical ones.
For example, one family gave me a set of white board markers in all colors available. That was particularly fantastic because I was teaching in a very poor, inner city school. White board markers were worth their weight in gold - and in all those colors - - - well, it sure made things nice for the students and me.
With that in mind, may I suggest Key Chain ID Lanyards as a possible teacher gift?
For the animal lover, we have several, including:

Christmas in July - - AGAIN????
I know. Christmas just ended and now here are all the early, early, early - - - well you get it. Yes, for some this is just another marketing trick, but I think it can be more. This is a good time to check in with our feelings of hope, help for those around us, hospitality, and our moral compass, just as we do in November and December.
Yes, it is a "Hallmark Moment" as the two Hallmark channels run their Christmas movies, all rather simple, sweet and predictible - smaltzy - but we need a little smaltz in our lives to center us.
Now as to the other part of Christmas in July - the sales. As a small business owner and jewelry designer Rivendell Rock Jewelry, I am offering a store wide sale - 10% off all items from July 6 to July 12 in conjunction with other Etsy shops.
Didn't find something you like? You will find many gorgeous, handmade items from small crafters and artists listed at STATTEAM "Christmas in July" SALE Promotional Blog July 6-July12 Please be sure and check it out. Here are artists who create unique jewelry, crochet and knit pieces, paintings, pottery, and more ways to trick out a horse or pony than you can ever imagine!
As for my jewelry, I can't let you go without highlighting one or two pieces, (or maybe three) can I?

Eclectic Gone Wild
Tony and I love designs that combine different eras, cultures and mediums, but we really went wild recently with our new line of stacking bracelets.
We started with a bead loom, something associated with Native American tribes. Then we found some patterns from the Medieval Europe that sparked our imagination and had us drawing designs on graph paper with colored pencils - shades of elementary school. We mixed Czechoslovakian and Japanese modern beads to create the patterns. Then we finished each bracelet with ultra-suede ties again in a bow (very modern and vegan friendly) to Native American design and Pony Express beads reminding us of the Gold Rush period of California history. Finally, we designed them to stack - so they are ultra-edgy and modern.
The results are so gorgeous that we will be adding to this line in the future. But rest assured, while we will continue with the concept, we will never duplicate any bracelet. We want everyone to be confident that when they wear one of our designs, they have a unique, one of a kind piece of jewelry.
Oh, and in case you didn't get our announcement, we have changed our name from Exotic Treasures Jewelry to RIVENDELL ROCK JEWELRY. We can be found at Rivendellrockjewelry.etsy.com

Name Change
We changed the name of our shop on Etsy from
Exotic Treasures to Rivendell Rock Jewelry [Rivendellrockjewelry.etsy.com] We had two reasons for the change.
First, we moved. We are now up near Coloma and Placerville, California, near the old gold discovery site. We named our new property Rivendell after the Elves home from the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit books. Not that it is that grand, nor does it have anything like the water that is so much a part of the original, but because it is a peaceful, quiet place.
Second, we had a few people think that there was something erotic about our jewelry, given that the word "exotic" is frequently associated with such things. That is the furtherest thing from the truth.
We will be keeping this name for our blog for a few more weeks, but will be starting a new one soon. We'll list that name here, along with the new URL.
And for a quick P.S., there are two of us - this is not a royal we that we use. We're a mother-son team of jewelry designers.

Pretty, Practical, and Security Conscious Jewelry
Whether we like it or not, security has become an important
element in our lives. Wearing
identification badges is a large part of that. From teachers to nurses, doctors
to cruise passengers, ID badges and the lanyards to hold them are a big part of
our lives.
That’s the grim side; now for the fashionista side. Pretty lanyards that coordinate with our
clothes and match our personality are far better for our emotional and
professional wellbeing that those slightly scruffy woven types handed out by
companies, complete with advertising logos.
For example, here is an elegant, sophisticated lanyard that would
coordinate perfectly with a business suit:

For something softer and a bit more feminine, the same design is executed in pink:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/82961057/lapis-lazuli-blue-lace-agate-lanyard?ref=shop_home_active_2
https://www.etsy.com/listing/221531984/id-badge-lanyard-dalmations-dogs-red?ref=shop_home_active_10
https://www.etsy.com/listing/223435429/labrador-puppy-id-badge-lanyard-puppy?ref=shop_home_active_6
https://www.etsy.com/listing/223534764/panda-lampwork-and-green-seed-bead?ref=shop_home_active_4
The thing to remember though, is while we may need to
concentrate on security and safety, we can do so while still remaining true to
our fashion style.
