~New Designs from the Spring Show~





Here are just a few new designs that will be added to the site. The one that I'm calling "the cathedral collection" is my favorite design. It's an antique piece of jewelry from a vintage brooch. It's actually the clip for the back of the brooch. It has amazing detail and scrolls and looked to me slightly like an old cathedral's stained glass window. I will be on the look out for more of these. I would love to have a whole "cathedral collection." I also have some new mongram styles and of course.....more French Parisian styles!

Have a great week!

~My beautiful card~


My sweet friend, Alina, made me this gorgeous card and gave it to me last night. When I saw it, I just flipped over how cool it was. She used wire to create the scrolly "Paris" at the top! I love that idea! You could use that idea for soo many things. She is a talented young lady that I have known forever and just love like a sister. Check out her blog at: alinasgallery.blogspot.com. She is an up and coming photographer who has a great eye for details. Thanks, Alina! You're a sweetie!

A quiet moment....


Hi everyone,

I was thinking this morning how nice it is to just have a quiet moment. In our lives of fast paced go,go,go lifestyles, it's so nice to just stop for awhile. This past weekend I did a show with my jewelry for the second time. It's a lot of fun, but a lot of work! It paid off though and I really enjoyed meeting new customers and friends. I'll be adding some of my new designs later today.
I needed a quiet moment after all the business of the week and weekend. I was out in my garden and I noticed my english dogwood had beautifully draped itself across my garden cafe chair. It was just so pretty, I decided to add it for you to see. I'm addicted to a new site-www.picnik.com for playing with your photos. Most of you probably already know about it, but if not, take a look. You'll love it and become an addict yourself.
Have a great day today and if you can, find yourself a quiet moment and enjoy!

~Finally back in the saddle~


For those of you who have noticed, I had some technical difficulties and have been gone awhile. It's good to be back though and I'm glad to see all of your inspiring ideas and beautiful blog faces again! I never realized how much I enjoyed making a cup of coffee and browsing through my favorite blogs until I couldn't do it anymore. Thank goodness for technology!
To all my sweet blog friends, thank you for your unending inspiration and encouragement and for sharing your talent with the world. You light up my day!


Hugs!
