What's In A Name - Satin Doll & Co

Hi there! My name is Gaetana, and I'm the owner, CEO and Creative Director of SatinDollCo. You may be wondering how I came up with the name? No, it's not from the Duke Ellington song, "Satin Doll"! Let's give you a lil' back story...

About 10 or 11 years ago, when I graduated college, I knew I wanted to start my own company. So, I started the ground work to achieve my goal. Over the years my older sister and I had toyed with names. The first one she came up with used my nickname, Tana - she suggested "Simply Tana". This was okay, but didn't feel quite right and I couldn't think of anything for the life of me.

Wednesday Kitchen - Hold the Mayo!

In this edition of Wednesday Kitchen, JET Team member Ida of AdroitJewelers has been experimenting with an alternative to mayonnaise....

Macaroni salad is a staple at summer picnics everywhere. But what’s with the “no mayo” you ask? Well, I’ve been trying to think of a way to make one without using all of the mayonnaise (and still have it taste good, of course.)

Whats on My Bench

Hello and welcome to another edition of Whats on My Bench! Today, JET Team member and new mother Trace of TraceDesigns explains why her bench tools have been replaced with some rather unconventional jewelry-making items!

If you’ve checked out my bench these day’s you’d be a bit surprised about what you see. My trusty Dremel, hammer, and pliers have been replaced with diapers, burp clothes, and well, a little baby.

Repurpose Those Soda Cans!

Don't chuck that can out! Our fabulous JET Team leader "Emo" has a great way to repurpose your used cans!

In search of a project to entertain the kids? The grandkids perhaps? Look no further! This project is simple, fun for all ages, and can easily be completed in an afternoon!

All you need is an old soda can, a can opener, a bit of dirt, and a plant (flower seeds work well, but they don't give the instant satisfaction kids crave!)
