In July 2017 my husband and I survived a house fire. We didn't lose everything, and renters insurance helped out a great deal. Many of the things we lost were easily replaced, but my wind chime collection was destroyed. I had over a dozen wind chimes, many limited edition, one-of-a-kind, or hard-to-find. Only one survived the fire, but it's a mass-manufactured one.

Our new (rental) home has a HUGE covered front porch/patio, and my single wind chime is looking very lonely. I miss the sound of the wind singing. New wind chimes are a must.

I love wood, bone, glass, metal, hollowed metal, stone, bells (not jingle bells), shell, etc. Nothing obnoxious, but harmonious. It gets very windy up here in the mountains.

If you happen to have or find unique wind chimes that don't have any Christian themes (I practice witchcraft, my husband is Buddhist) I would LOVE to have them. Do make wind chimes? AWESOME! I'm currently working on learning how to make my own, but don't have as much time to devote to it as I'd like.

I want to do this in trade. As mentioned before, we survived a house fire. Insurance helped, but we're broke. I'm a jewelry maker, specializing in making jewelry for people allergic to metal. If you want metal in your jewelry, or don't mind having it, I do have metal pendants, beads, and bells. I've been making jewelry for over 25 years now, and making custom pieces is SO MUCH FUN! I have crystals, stones, semiprecious stones, glass, claws (I did have teeth and bones, but those pieces sell fast), metal, acrylic, polyclay, and various other kinds of beads. I can make necklaces, chokers, anklets, and bracelets. Don't want jewelry? They make excellent gifts; perhaps you can give it to someone else as a surprise one-of-a-kind gift?

Seeing as I'll be making something for you I ask that you give me a month to make the jewelry. I may have commissions ahead of this. Before you mail the wind chimes please provide a photograph with proof of shipping on it, as well as a tracking number. I'll do the same. Normally I post the jewelry on my Etsy shop, set up as "prepaid commission" and charge only shipping. You'd receive proof of shipping, a tracking number, and within the USA the jewelry typically arrives within 3-5 business days. Plus listing it on Etsy provides you with the option of leaving a review. Seeing as this is a dual trade I won't set that up unless you want to. Proof of shipping provides protection for both of us.

If this sounds good to you please contact me. Thank you!
