Linda Abbene's "Wicked Witch of the West" flew out of here this last weekend. She has found a good home with a couple right here in Salem.
... but I am still gonna miss her!
I chatted with Linda on Tuesday, she promises me there are more coming.
But remember, with tourist season coming, if you have been eye balling a piece in the shop, now would be the time to snag it, before someone else does!

If I am not usually here when you can stop in? Give me a call or send me an email. I am happy to make an appointment.

Jim Matto is a self taught jewelry designer who finds the fabulous in the things other people would over look. His Zipper Bracelets, skeleton key pins and pendants, all one of a kind! I hope to have them tagged and on display by the weekend, but there are on the table if you want to come and take a sneak peek! ;-)

No one has RSVP'ed, so I am officially cancelling, in favor of going to my son's cello recital. See you all NEXT time. =j=
