Welcome

Thanks for visiting! My blog is about all things connected to Judy Evans' Collection, home to handmade one of a kind jewelry and plate stands.

One of the reasons I write this blog is to share stories about ladies who have impacted my life. It is for these ladies that I name my jewelry. Some of them are very close in my life and my heart, others have passed through leaving indelible marks that have not been forgotten.


You may smile as you read, and maybe feel a little sentimental. I hope you like the stories and think of your own special people!

What A Great Week!

This has been a fun week for me.

For those of you who are familiar with etsy.com, you'll appreciate the pleasure of being in a treasury. I was featured in "Thinking Pink For Fall" by Tigerlilystudio. Her treasury features items that when sold, donations will be given to the Susan G. Koman Foundation for breast cancer.

My Breast Cancer Bracelet is on the right hand side third from the top.
Please visit Tigerlilystudio to see some beautiful pillows, pillowcases and other fabric items. http://www.tigerlilystudio.etsy.com/

I also sold a plate stand this week that's been a favorite of mine. It's called Zanzabar and has received a lot of attention, both from visitors to my website and customers at the various craft shows that I've participated in.

It was sold to someone who was giving it as a surprise birthday gift. There were quite a few emails going back and forth regarding shipping time and the surprise factor! I'm eager to hear from the purchaser what the reaction will be from the recipient. I really enjoyed this sale because the purchaser went all out in order to make this something special.

This plate was always noticed and drew customers to my space at the craft shows. Now I have to come up with some other plate stands to attract people. In the meantime here are a few that get their share of attention.








This is my Cats, Cats, Cats Plate Stand. It is so bright and fun!










These are actually 2 plates the complement one another. They can be used individually, side by side, or stacked as shown. They have an elegant and formal feel and are really beautiful.

And the last feel-good for me that happend this week was being remembered by another vendor.

I was on a forum last night chatting away and all of a sudden there was a post that said

"JudyEvans--I KNOW YOU! I met you at a craft fair at the Dept. of Child Support Services a couple years ago. At least, I am almost positive I did, didn't I? I was selling cards, and I remember your luscious jewelry! I was working there at the time and I think you had a friend or relative there and that was why you were there...."

Now how weird is that? This message was from the gal Peaseblossomstudio who sells handmade journals & note cards. All of her items are her own designs, she is truly an artist. Definitely worth looking at, http://www.peaseblossomstudio.etsy.com/

Don't you love it when someone remembers you? What an ego boost that was!

I really love your new items. The plates are so interesting and fun.
What a great gift. I can see myself taking holiday goodies to someone home and leaving the plate as a beautiful hostess gift.
I really enjoyed your 'Patty Story'
