Clearly I have an unusual job. But really. How many people get to say that they glued themselves to their chair? 😲   A large bottle of un-capped superglue fell of a shelf as I walked by. It landed in my chair. I picked up the bottle and put it away. Not thinking much more about it, I sat down. .....and then tried to get up......   I'm un-stuck now.

Hello! I didn't mean for it to be so long before the next message. I've been working little bits here and there--many thanks to those of you I've gotten to work with.

These last few weeks have been slightly interrupted by a wasp! I have a known bee-sting allergy. My reactions to stings have been increasing over the years. I had to start carrying Epipen 2 years ago. A sting to my NOSE 2...

1) THANK YOU to all of you wonderful customers who have ordered crowns these last few days.  You are forever in my heart.  Your orders have gone a long way for ensure OWC stays open.    2) At the persistent urging and support of a friend, i'm finally getting some silly bracelets posted.  available both on the accessories page and www.scrapmetaljewelry.com page.  3) Not trying to make light, or take advantage of the current situation, but seeing how many summer weddings are still going forward....and knowing that are suggestions, and sometimes local laws, about wearing face masks....I am wondering if...
