I know, I know... It's just the middle of September, and you think it's way too early to talk about the holiday season. As a matter of fact, holiday season at Buckaroo Bling starts in September or October every year as we navigate the holy days and holidays we observe. So, here's a quick behind-the-scenes and an even quicker heads-up to let you know what to expect from us from now till the end of the year.

Now, this doesn't mean one basket shouldn't have more eggs in it than the other, or ice skating shouldn't be done - period, or ambulance needs to be called every time I get out on a limb. Not at all!

With that, western fashion, similar to mainstream fashion, started following seasonal trends. So, here's what western fashion trends to look for this summer according to those who are paid to predict them.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you're probably aware of all the madness out there that the new coronavirus is causing. First, hope that you and all yours are well as you read this. It's a strange time for many, especially artists, craftspeople, and all small business owners. So, how do we cope?

I am a jewelry designer, not graphic or packaging designer. Still, I know that every little detail speaks about the value of the product, including packaging.
