LinorStore.com, Online gift shop owner makes jewelry to relieve stress

Linda Blatchford of LinorStore.com is recovering from her sprained back and broken hand, resulting from a fall at the end of August. “It’s a long healing process, and difficult to be creative when you’re in pain,” says Linda.

View Linda B’s custom-designed glass and gemstone jewelry, including her new line, “painted glass pendants” at 3 area shows. Affordable prices range from $10 to $100, depending on the gemstones and sterling silver components. Mention the word “fossie” for 10% off.
