The Saga of the Keys

Fantastic Stress Reliever~

I'm so happy to have one of the greatest constant stresses of my life discontinued!

Losing My Keys!

You can't imagine the constant irritation of always stressing out about where I've left my keys

- - - or, maybe you can!

Maybe you even have the same problem. If so, read on - maybe you'll find the solution!

Nine times out of ten, when I'm ready to leave the house, I can't find my keys. Even if they are in my purse, I still have trouble finding them amid all the little zippered compartments - and the dark recesses in the bottom of the bag. My panic moments have been so lessened - and all it took was a fork. Yes, a FORK!

Here it is!

Above, you see the fork as it has been re-purposed into a great key ring. First, I use my torch to anneal the metal. This softens it so I can bend the fork in half and curl up the center two tines to hold the key ring.

After attaching the keys to the ring, I simply slip the fork, aka "key ring" over the edge of my purse - always ready to use and never to lose again. Now, if I can only keep up with my purse!!!!
You can find my silverplated key rings in my etsy shop or at The Gallery at 916 on the square in Bowling Green, KY. At only $20 these will make a fabulous stocking stuffer this Christmas, which means you probably need to get two! . Ask Lynnn or Melissa to see the "keyrings by Kay" and they will show you how great they work.

While you're there, check out the other hand crafted jewelry. I will soon be taking some fantastic hand forged silver pieces that will make a very special gift for someone special. My silver can be personalized with hand stamped names or special words and phrases. Here's an example of some of my hand stamping on hand forged jewelry.

This collection of cuffs and ring demonstrate the rustic style of hand stamping. The one on the bottom is my personal cuff which has become my constant reminder to end WORRY! It says, "pray over all things, worry over nothing". The ring says "hope peace love". But you can choose your own words! Wear what you want to say! See more of my jewelry at www.kzoretic.etsy.com.
