Camera troubles..I've had a few..

(One of my last pics before camera died-Sedona, Slide Rock Park)
After being on vacation, having new things to share, a totally new design, my camera decides to call it quits. I'm sad! I'm working on getting a replacement, but I'm not sure how long that will take. Sooooo, guess I'll just tell ya instead. I took a class while on vacation about cutting glass, and how to use decorative glass in different ways. I learned how to make custom business card holders. I have 2 made so far, and more in the works. I love these!! They could also double as a beautiful ring holder too. I really am so excited about these and wish I could show them. The other new designs are made from seashells. Generally, I think jewelry made from seashells looks, well.. cheap. I have never really cared for it, especially growing up and living in Florida. It's in all the souvenier shops. However, I really like this new design with the seashells. I hope you'll like them too. :) I took a walk on the beach, and found them with my sisters while they were here visiting. If nothing else, they make a nice memento of a fun time with them.
As soon as I get a new camera, I'll be posting new pics. Hopefully, soon!

Trunk Sale going on now!

Having been sick at the exact same time when normally I'd be gearing up for Mother's Day was bad timing this year. Right before I was to add my Valentine jewelry, my computer decided to crash-(more bad timing.) Sooooo, I'm having a big ole' trunk sale for Mother's Day to show you several new items I have in stock. I have been playing in the resin, which is always fun, but I did something I didn't know would work-I used real, pressed flowers. I'm fairly new to resin, so I had no idea if it would be just a big flop or brilliant. As you can see, they came out wonderfully! I'm so thrilled! I have a childhood memory of a dinner plate size coaster my mom had on our coffee table for forever. It was hard and see through and had flowers and a butterfly. I used to sit and stare at that, rub my hands over it, and wonder how they got that in there. The other day, out of the blue, I had to laugh because it hit me-RESIN!!
So anyway, all has been added to the website with the sale price already marked. Just go to the website, click on the tab on the left that says "Divine Designs" and you will find them there.
Happy Mother's Day to all the fabulous Moms out there! My Mom is without a doubt the best Mom in the world to me, and I thank God for her everyday. Love you Mom!!! Thank you for all you are and for all you do. Your love and support encourage me beyond measure. I could never say thank you enough. You are what every Mother should be.

Hugs and kisses with big chocolate chip cookies :-)...

Vintage Iron on Monograms & French ads....

So I found these iron on monograms at a little antique store in North Ga. the last time I was up at my Aunt's get-away-from-it-all cabin in the mountains. I knew what I'd use them for the minute I laid eyes on them. Getting around to actually doing it was another matter. I think I could make jewelry for a year or two without leaving my studio, but where's the fun if you can't hunt down interesting, cool new stuff? I would go crazy. I get an adrenaline rush everytime a new idea hits. The time has finally come for these sweet letters, and these are very limited as they are the real deal. By that, I mean "really old". I lost several due to fragile, tearing paper. I do have several more than these, probably 20-25 total. Some are upper case, some lower. Some are bigger (approx. 1") and some are just larger charms (7/8") If you're interested in a letter you don't see here, let me know, and I'll see what I have. I hope to have them all added to the website soon, but I also know I don't always get to it as fast as I plan on. The reverse of these is maps of Paris. They aren't vintage. They are the maps we used while we were there. That's why you see some with circles on them because it was on our scheduled visit.
Secondly, there are vintage French replica ad jewelry. These are each one different sizes. I will, hopefully, have these posted individually on the website soon.

Happy Spring!

Meet Juliette...

Isn't she gorgeous?? I found her recently in an antique/boutique shop, and new I had to have this for displaying jewelry in my studio. It would be awesome at shows too, so I may be brave and take her out. It's seriously heavy though....
I have been making some new designs, as well as a few new additions coming....I'll be posting those soon. Happy almost Spring!
