Look who is coming to Swirlicious and Friends Annual Shopping Event at 151 Bridge Street in Carleton Place on October 31!

We haven’t plunged into the world of sword fights and “savvy” pirates like Captain Jack Sparrow. But seeing this pirate chest reminds reminds us of the exquisite jewelry you will see at Swirlicious and Friends Annual Shopping Event on October 31.

If you are easily distracted by shiny objects Ghislaine Descotes has been making handmade jewelry since 2009. She works with freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystals, stones, glass beads, chains, seed beads and more. Her motto is: quality craftsmanship makes nicer jewelry. She began by taking a few jewelry classes to learn techniques and the rest is from her inspiration. She is a member of Capital Artisans Guild and Ottawa Crafts and Collectibles Guild. They say that jewelry has the power to make you feel unique– I say jewelry takes people’s minds off your wrinkles. After all, people will stare, make it worth their while in Ghislaine’s creations.
