Eastern Sierra Feed , 1245 Waterloo Lane, Gardnerville. Your Neighborhood Pet & Center We are excited to announce that we confirmed a special engagement event with our friends at Unique Elegance for Dec. 19th & 20th. Unique Elegance Custom Jewelry is always on display in the store, but it is so fun to bring in Rosanne to show off her latest custom creations and to talk with the customers about custom creations she can make for them. Unique Elegance was started as a result of breaking and polishing stones that were found in the desert near their Northern Nevada home. In the raw, the stones don't look like much, but breaking them down to a workable size for the rock tumbler and then, after 4 different stages each 1 week long, voila, beautiful polished stone. What is fantastic, is to watch the result of each stage. Each week we would look in wonder at the changes made. Seeing the change in each individual stone in color, shape and clarity. Check out current inventory of unique custom creations here http://www.uniquelegance.com/ and plan to come by the 19th and 20th for this special event. To Celebrate the event Eastern Sierra Feed will also be hosting a Gift Basket Decoration Station and specials store wide. |
