Round the corner

..round the corner there may wait, 

a new road or a secret gate.

Give More Than You Get

I love this saying...straight forward and true.

You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.

You can find this piece on my website .

Since purchasing some fabulous Labradorite last week I have been creating earrings using the stunning stones. I think they are the perfect everyday stone, lots of sparkle with that surprise hint of blue.

 Heading to the flea market to see if I can covet any treasures, then picking up our college boy for an early dinner. Hope everyone is doing well on this sunny Sunday.

It has been a cozy snowy day here in Tennessee, a little too early for the snow, we usually only get a few flurries late January or so. We are venturing out with our four wheel drive (our old New England Ford Explorer) to some holiday festivities with my friends at the antique shop. I am thinking a few hours will do me some good. Hope everyone is enjoying their day and doing what makes you happy.

Trinket Necklace

I love to wear these long necklaces, they go with everything. Here is a new fav of mine...

You can find this in my etsy shop. 

Cat in the Box

Since we got our new kitty 2 months ago, it has been a battle keeping the other two cats away from Morgan's very tasty high calorie kitten food. I finally had to put the bowl of food in a box with a hole that only Morgan can fit into. It has worked out fine, but Jack (the big grey tabby) has finally figured he can reach his paw in the hole and pull food close to the hole and has wiggled his big head into the hole to retrieve it. He just loves the kitten food, he will follow me around the house crying until I cave in and give him a little.

 ... here is the little guy coming out of his dinner box.

 I just got these in the mail today from Spirited Earth and I am in love! Such beautiful creations...and the the glaze on the bee is amazing. Tomorrow I am off to the Nashville Flea Market to see Mary "my" bead lady, hoping I can find something to go with these two great pendants.

A little piece of heaven...green that is.

Green Heaven

Sometimes, well especially lately in this terrible heat....I like to wear a long lightweight necklace. My new favorite chain is the snake chain at 24" in length. So here I have something you just might see me wearing. You can find this green agate drop necklace in my Etsy shop.

We are Nashville!!

I just got in late last night from my wonderful trip out west...it was so much better than I could have imagined. I will post some pictures later and you will see what I mean. My DH had to go on business and I got to tag along. To top it off we got to visit with some of our good friends outside of San Fransisco.

I also had this nice surprise on being included in this great Etsy treasury called "We are Nashville!!" Fellow Etsian's reach out to assist with Nashville's flood relief. In here you will find my "Nashville Rising" hand stamped long necklace. All proceeds from the sale of my piece will be donated to Flood Relief - Metro Nashville Disaster Response Fund.

Flower Power

Today got the best of me....I had to turn my AC on! As a native New England-er I am still not use to having to turn the AC on in April, of course the weather could all change tomorrow., but no matter how cold it gets that heat is NOT going back on!

So with the warm spring day in mind this is what my hands had to create today. I wanted something current with a vintage flair. Lots of chunky glass and pearls with some rhinestone bling.

You can find Spring Bling in my Etsy shop.

Music is Love

~Music is love in search of a word.~ ~Sidney Lanier

I found this very cool piece of pressed glass at an estate sale, I have never seen anything like this before. I do think it is old and I knew it would be a great focal for a necklace. I combined it with pieces of a vintage necklace and some handmade sheet music beads along with some labradorite beads and a cool connector from A.D Adornments.

You can find this in my Etsy shop.
