Annlee Cakes shares why buy Native Craft Beaded Jewelry

Why I think you should consider wearing Art Beaded Earrings.

Because they are beautiful and they are a Traditional piece of jewelry that will last for many years. Cleanable by dipping in soapy water and then rinsing and hanging to air dry. Fixable if you break one send it in for bead repair.

Owning a pair also helps support Native Crafts that are hand made and not like factory jewelry duplicated by the tens of thousands and sold in chain stores.

Art beaded earrings are tasteful and brilliant. And, come as post earrings, small. medium and long lengths.. You can also find one of our designs and order it in the colors of your choice. Try that at a chain store?

The most beautiful hand crafted items came after the introduction of beads, and especially colored beads. However, long before glass beads appeared?

Originally, Native American Indians crafted beads that were carved from natural materials like shells,coral,turquoise and stones or the metals like copper, silver, wood, amber, ivory, and animal bones, horns, quills, and some were discovered made from teeth. Glass beads were not used until the fur traders brought to the Natives in trade for furs. Glass beads quickly became part of American Indian Crafts culture. Today glass beads, particularly fine seed beads, are the primary materials for traditional bead artists of many tribes and adorn the finest of Regalia you may view in the Great Circle.

In closing, we invite you and your friends to visit and explore the Beautiful Native Jewelry at our friends Family Jewels.

Thanks for reading, and please consider sharing this writing?

Nine Months Plus One Day by pabear48

Nine Months Plus One Day   by pabear48


The story told from inside the womb and told by the baby.
Sharing thoughts from their time with Creator until birth upon the Earth. 

Answering the questions of human nature like where do babies come from?

And why do pregnant women crave odd foods?
Answers from the "Magic Wall" will bring you up close and personal connection to the baby.

A perfect book  to read to your children and with safe illustrations.
When they ask?  "Where do babies come from?"

From Annlee:
I recommend this book to all women, and especially to all carrying a blessing. I believe this book could easily be used as a tutor for teenage children for sharing how and why children are conceived; and arrive into this world. In a true and comforting way of sharing the answers all children one day ask of their parents about where babies come from.

Bob's books are also available in print at Amazon, Lulu and all major bookstores around the World. Also in Spanish.

Worlds Rarest Pear Cabochon Gemstone

The World's Rarest Gem with Gold Matrix

Last week I had the honor to hold this gemstone. 
At first blush, it felt infilled with power and should as a Sacred Stone of the Nation. It was warm and friendly!

Larry the owner of Family Jewels and Silver Inc. explained the gem to me in details a Gemologist is able to fully describe a gemstone and explained why it is so rare and valuable. Which is the gold vein that makes up the beautiful matrix in the cab. Larry is a Graduate Gemologist with 40 years in the jewelry industry as a jeweler and manufacturer of all fine jewelry in downtown Great Bend, Kansas at 1911 Lakin Avenue.

I could imagine a necklace pendant created with this gem and surrounded with diamonds set in white gold or in platinum. A gem only a Queen or the Rich and Famous could afford. I could dream seeing it on the neck of my favorite country singer gleaming from the stage? 

I remember dreaming about holding or wearing some of the World's rarest diamonds, emeralds and gems we only hear about or see displayed in museums. But, this time Creator allowed me to actually hold it before many and that was a Great Honor as it is a very Sacred Stone.

You can read more about this gem at Family Jewels Online.
They have a great blog about it and the product page is very detailed. Just knowing it does exist is now exciting!

Even the ants work for Larry to design "Ant Hill Jewelry"
We work 24/7/365 collecting beautiful red garnets for Larry!
Ant Hill Red Garnets

Ant Hill Garnets are found on and around the margins of ant hills. The ants encounter the garnets while excavating their underground passages. The ants haul the stones to the surface and discard them. The rain washes the garnets clean and moves them down the flank of the ant hill, where they can accumulate and be discovered.

Native Americans discovered them long ago and marveled at their color and beauty. They regarded them as sacred and special. Sometimes they sewed them into ceremonial rattles or gave them as tokens of appreciation or added them to their medicine bag as a gift from Mother Earth.

Ant Hill Garnets have a deep red color and are beautiful as well as special added to pieces of jewelry. Especially for the Native American Indians.

We have a rare few uncut and fully Natural Ant Hill Garnets that we have polished and are ready to add as is to a custom piece of jewelry for our customers who believe they are Sacred and Special. Or for one's medicine bag if desired. Ours come from Arizona! And we design some fine finished jewelry with hand cut Ant Hill Gemstones. Considered Sacred to Native Americans.

Finding a jeweler you can trust is like finding a doctor you can trust? It is an inner knowing that just makes you feel calm about them. Or an awareness that is strong in thought. 

There are so many grades of gemstones out there? Now with lab grown gems it becomes at times even more cloudy? Or one asks them self is this real gold or even if it is jewelry in real sterling silver? These questions are perfectly normal and should be asked.

I have known Larry for many years and his integrity is unquestionable.
He is a Graduate Gemologist who has been designing fine jewelry for over 40 years. His saddest job is when he has to deny repairing a piece of jewelry because he has to tell the customer it is not real or is such a cheap import piece that it cannot be repaired.  

I recommend Larry as your new family jeweler.

Visit his web site and read allot of the blogs to learn allot more about this open and friendly jeweler.

Blessings...Annlee

Marshmallow Toasting Day at Family Jewels in Great Bend

Marshmallow Toasting Day

Is always on August 30th

The actual origin of this fun event is not fully known?
Many suspect it was brought forth by the marshmallow manufacturing companies.
Nevertheless, it is now celebrated every August in the United States.


At Family Jewels we like making S'mores in the coals of a wood fire while outside enjoying the mosquitoes trying to get their bite in.


S'mores are almost as good as humans?
And, we have a neat recipe!
Ingredients:

• Chocolate candy bar
• Honey Graham Crackers
• Marshmallows

Instructions:

• Break off a square of Graham cracker
• Add a piece of Chocolate.
• Toast a big marshmallow over the campfire.
• Add the hot marshmallow.
• Top it with another graham Cracker.
• Eat while it melts and remains hot!

We like being outdoors at the campfire with friends and family. Adding a couple of treats just makes the fun sharing a bit more enjoyable. 

Of course it is also a Great Time to go fishing!  


Have you peeked at our Ant Hill Jewelry?
Or our Native American Crafts?

Have fun as a family roasting those soft white treats.

Women's Equality Day in Great Bend, Kansas

Life is better every day for Women's Rights

Women's Equality Day is August 26th

In 1971, after much work, and at the urging of U.S. Representative Bella Abzug (D-NY), Congress designated August 26 each year as“Women’s Equality Day.” This day was selected to commemorate the passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution on August 26, 1920. This amendment granted women the right to vote.

Celebrate this day in a number of ways?
But, first, stop and celebrate the accomplishments made in gaining the right to vote, and towards equality for women. Women's rights groups suggest you continue to be involved in pursuing full and equal rights for women in all areas and in all issues.the culmination of decades of effort by women suffragettes and other groups. Their efforts dated back to first women’s rights convention in 1848 at Seneca Falls, New York.
Origin of Women's Equality Day:
This special day was created by a Joint Resolution of Congress in 1971. It designates August 26 of each year as Women's Equality Day.
Family Jewels supports Women's Rights
Especially, their absolute right to buy all jewelry they desire. :)

Red Garnets from ant hills are Sacred Gems

Ant Hill Red Garnets are a Sacred stone to Native Americans.

We work 24/7/365 dragging them red garnets for Larry!

Ant Hill Garnets are found on and around the margins of ant hills. The ants encounter the garnets while excavating their underground passages. The ants haul the stones to the surface and discard them. The rain washes the garnets clean and moves them down the flank of the ant hill, where they can accumulate and be discovered.

Ant Hill Red Garnet Gem Basic Information
Structure: Cubic
Hardness: 7.25
Specific Gravity: 3.8
Refractive index: 1.72

Wonder if Larry wants just a plain ole rock today?

Larry says:

Think of them like this?
First the ants must find one in their way?
Second they must move it out of the nest?
Third it must rain to wash the stones down the hills?
Fourth someone must hand collect them?
Fifth they must be washed and polished?
Sixth is the large ones chosen to be hand cut into gem stones?
Seventh: Those cut gemstones are then added to fine jewelry.
All this costs time, energy and money! Except for the ants.

We have a limited amount of finished Ant Hill Red Garnet fine jewelry at this time.

Note: 

The largest known cut and finished Ant Hill Red Garnet gemstone from Arizona is about 1.02 carats. And came from Garnet Ridge, near Dinnehotso, Apache County, Arizona. This finished stone is a 7.6 x 5.7 millimeter oval, weighing 1.02 carats. Ant hill garnets larger than one carat are unusual in a finished cut gemstone. It takes a larger ruff stone to cut it into a gemstone quality for jewelry. Our note is about "Finished Cut Gems" only for size known reference for our readers.
