Maria: Daisy, when do you feel most relaxed?
I also feel sad when I hear people grumbling and complaining, when I hear people saying negative things, when I see people acting in a negative manner. I greatly dislike negativity. There’s no need for it, no use for it. I wish I could wave a magic wand and have negativity become positivity. Think how much better the world would be. Maria: How would you describe yourself? Daisy: I’m an individual, I don’t fit into a mold, I don’t behave or act or do what everyone else does merely as a means of “fitting in”—and that’s okay. Maria: What is the worst part of getting older? Daisy: I have no idea what the worst part is of getting older. Is there a “worst part”? As each day passes, I become smarter and savvier. I look, listen, experience, learn, share my knowledge, and help others. “Old” is a state of mind. I’ll become more mature, but I won’t become old.  A few weeks ago I received a Facebook invite from Daisy to check out her newest expressions of creativity and talent at Daisy's Earrings, Necklaces and Bracelets. On this site, I found Daisy Mariposa’s one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry - one more stunning than the next. When you check her work out, you’ll see creations that vary in design and materials used. The overall look of her pieces reflects her interest in color, texture, and shape. Here is a mere sprinkling of what Daisy offers. I am guilty of finding something I love for myself or countless friends who love jewelry as well that I place on my internal wish list. Thanks to some of Daisy’s recent sales and promotions, I am steadily chipping away at my list. Shopping with Daisy is easy if you live in the US and have an account with PayPal. For those of us who have friends with international addresses, Daisy will ship to Canada and elsewhere, like Sweden and South Africa. This is music to my ears! Daisy sells her pieces online via BID (auction) and BIN ( Buy It Now) pricing. You will need to take note of the auction end date for the piece you are viewing, If you are interested in an item, you can bid (BID) on it with the starting bid (SB) posted in the description. Bids are raised by an increment of $1. If you don’t want to take the chance of someone outbidding you for the item, you can Buy It Now (BIN). This stops the auction, and the piece is yours for the BIN price listed. Daisy invoices within 24 hours of a BIN transaction or the close of an auction. Payment by PayPal in US dollars is due within 24 hours of receipt of the invoice. From first hand experience, Daisy is prompt and precise in mailing out your treasures. My packages have arrived in a beautiful purple padded envelope. The blue bubble wrap on each piece of inspiration has a “Thank You” sticker. To some, this may be a tiny gesture. To me, it places gratitude and love into the purchase. I believe those I have/will gift Daisy’s treasures to, will love her work. I know I surely do. Hoping you will check out Daisy’s work for yourself. It’s worth your time to take a spin around her shoppe. Email me if something catches your eye. I come from the school of ‘you never know’... 😎 ShoutOutsUntil next week, sending you hugs and smiles, mar

Wishing Daisy the best with her jewelry business. The pieces are stunning! Fabulous interview and I also wish that I had that wand to do away with negativity! :)

Hello Maria - GIN and GRIN, oh, wait, BIN and BID, interesting concept. I wish Daisy well.
Dear Maria,

Hi Ladies...
I loved Daisy's work in Hubpages, and actually everything she writes including Facebook posts. Martie, please send me a PM with your mailing address. I want to do some research to find a way to ship my jewelry to you at a reasonable cost. I ordered beads from artisans in both France and Israel, and the amounts I paid for shipping were quite low. A colleague ships his completed jewelry pieces from India to the United States at exceptionally good rates. 12/13/2017 05:24:47 pm
I just ordered the most beautiful necklace created by Daisy. It's easy to see that each piece of jewelry is very high quality. I love the original designs and will be ordering more. 12/13/2017 05:32:15 pm
As we all come from the Hubpages community initially, Daisy has been a friend of mine for many years. Not only is she one of the nicest I've met, she's a true friend and always there when the need arises. So, I decided to try out her offerings when she started her business. For one of my wife's Christmas gifts, I chose a beautiful blue and white bracelet. It arrived as yours did, sweet Sis, and didn't disappoint as far as the beauty or quality were concerned. I know my wife will love it. If she doesn't, she's an idiot. Then again ..... :)

Got my Daisy bracelet gift today and love it! Checked out Daisy's website and there are many beautiful items to choose from.
Lovely post, sweet friend! It's late here, but I wanted to be sure to come by the same day you posted. :) I know Daisy from when I used to write at HubPages more - and I'm thinking I should write more articles over there again. :)
Thanks for your visit and wonderful words about our mutual friend, Daisy.

Mar, thanks for this post. I had no idea Daisy makes jewelry. I'm assuming by the BID and BIN that she's on eBay. I always opt for BIN when I shop there. I don't have the patience to watch an auction or wait for it to be over. When I'm shopping for something, I want it now!

I actually wasn't able to go into Daisy's site yesterday. I read your blog during lunch. Turns out Daisy's store is on FB and my work has FB blocked. I'll have to check her out on my home computer. Vinaya, thank you for your kind words, my friend. My 4-year university degree is in Fine Arts, I worked at a national chain of arts and crafts stores for a few years. I did products demonstrations and taught craft classes. I thought it was about time I created a site for selling my jewelry designs. 12/14/2017 10:43:26 pm
I have known Daisy for at least 5 years. when i started at the Hub writing. She was one of the poets that welcomed me and made me feel at home. We have continued to stay friends on facebook and wow her jewelry is wonderful.. I have already bought three braceletts and one necklace and earrings.. all for christmas presents.. she does beautiful work and mails out right away.. I am so excited and happy.. I love how Daisy is so positive.. never down.. she is so refreshing what a joy she is.. Thank you Daisy I love this article on her.. Great job Maria.. Debbie, thanks for posting your comments. I appreciate your very kind words and your support of my work. I was happy to create the custom bracelet with the carved gemstone horses, and the custom amethyst necklace and earrings to match the bracelet you saw in my shop. 12/15/2017 01:47:22 am
I have only recently come to know of Daisy and I recognize that Daisy's work has a spark of originality and brings a smile to the lips. It is always amazing how an individual can bring joy to the lives of others simply by sharing beauty. x
[Everyone, Jacky returned to her home in the UK a few days ago after living in France for the past year. I purchase lampwork beads that Jacky creates.] Leave a Reply. |
