Princess Zoe

Princess Zoe has very high standards and rigorously supervises my work. All my creations — everything in her world, actually — must carry her seal of approval.

She insists that I include only the finest materials:

• sterling silver, gold-filled or gold — no base metals
• semi-precious healing stones
• shimmery glass beads
• Swarovski crystals — the most beautiful, most sparkling, and highest-quality man-made crystals available

Zoe doesn't touch the jewelry (princesses don't work, you know) but she often keeps me company in my beading room, and voices her opinion freely.

Patrick

She was first named Gertie by Second Chance Pet Adoptions, then renamed Zoe by me when I adopted her... or should I say when I signed up to be her willing slave? She renamed herself Princess Zoe a very short time later.

Zoe has an older brother Patrick. It's only fair that I also include his picture. Here he is on the left. Isn't he a cutie too?
