Home Again!

Photo of myself, Ellen and Kalene taken by Tate Taylor whom we
met at the Horse Expo and who always had his camera handy.
Ellen's daughter-in-law, Kalene at our booth in Denver,
was such a great help as we put her to work arranging our booth
and just being our right hand woman.

We had a great time at the Horse Expo, meeting so many new and nice people. It is always so
much fun making new friends. We met Siri Stevens and her daughter Laci, editor of the 'Rodeo
News' magazine and who we will be doing some advertising with in the future. I had already
felt like I knew her as we subscribe to the magazine, it carries all the rodeo news in Colorado
and surrounding states. Beings my grandchildren and son rodeo there I can hardly wait for
each issue to see the news and see if people we know out there are in it. Also the Nebr. rodeo
news. The people are so friendly and it always seems like they know who we know.
What a small world! Thanks to all we met and all that helped us in any way. We apreciate each and everyone of you.

We are off again!

Hi all,
Ellen and I are packing up again, we are going to Denver to the Horse Expo and of course where we go, so does our jewelry. We have a booth there March 13-14-15th.
We are looking forward to meeting more new people and making more new friendships. Ellen's daughter-in-law, Kalene, is going with us, yeah! She will be a great help and she is so good at creating an eye-catching arrangement of our jewelry. We are lucky as both of our daughter-in-laws are good at this. If there is anything in our store that anyone has been looking at and thinking about, you might want to get it as we are taking it all with us. Hopefully, we will have new photo's to post when we get home and stories to tell.
Until then,
Sonja and Ellen

'Our Cowboys'

We've told you that part of the background of our jewelry making
is rodeo, so we thought maybe it would be fun to share some
photo's with you..

Sonja's husband Larry, heeling
a steer at a rodeo in Nebraska.


Ellen's husband Tom, heading a steer at a team roping in Nebraska.


They both have had their share of roping championships in this event and Larry also in the calfroping event.

And it goes on and on with our kids roping and tying goats and now grandkids.
What a fun life we have had traveling and rodeoing in most of the surrounding states and all the wonderful friends we have made all over the country. We do a lot of reminiscing as we travel to our jewelry shows up and down the road and meeting our old friends to talk over fun times.
