The Traveler

I love creating these eclectic charm bracelets...using the new and the old... the found and made.

The green glass elephant was a great find , it adds a really nice pop of color and whimsy to this piece I call "The Traveler". Each piece can tell its own story.

Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind. ~ Seneca

An eclectic mix of new and old charms and trinkets. One of a kind pieces are all joined together to form this "Treasures" bracelet. Vintage brass stampings, antique mother of pearl button and an antique key. Resin charms made from vintage dictionary pages and an old Arizona tax coin.

You can find "Treasures" in my Etsy shop.

Don't forget...be sure to enter my giveaway this week!

Got My Mojo Workin!

Last weekend I was lucky to have my booth across from Bebo Folk Art. This colorful collection of handpainted signs and figures were so fun and inspirational. The message that Bebo shares is to enjoy life and live in peace. His art is made out of found objects and saw mill lumber. A joyful happy man trying to spread the word one piece of art at a time. Is your Mojo workin?

One's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes.
Andrew Wyeth

A little something sweet...

It has been a busy few days and I am finally starting to feel better. I have been dying to get into my studio to play with my new lovelies that I purchased at the bead show on Sunday, however I only managed about an hour today.
Weddings have been on my mind since we are making plans to attend a wedding next month in Massachusetts, so out of that thought came these Pink Wedding Sterling Earrings. I just may have to wear them myself!

A Day of Rest

.....or so I would like to think!
I just finished a two day Art Show in Franklin Tenn. called "Art Fusion". It was a wonderful show in a great venue, a refurbished factory with small art studios and lovely shops and restaurants.
Unfortunately I forgot my camera, but I used my Iphone, not the best pictures but they will do.


I have to thank Sharon of Livewire Jewerly for her great idea of the "padded suitcase". She had made one a while back and posted it on her blog. I just loved it and knew it would work great for me so I made one too.


Thursday started out rough as I started to get sick and I knew there was no way I was going to miss this much anticipated show, so off the the Doctor's I went. Four prescriptions and a shot of steroids I was on my way. Needless to say being on the steroids I have not slept in 3 nights! With all that being said I managed the days just fine....highly wired but fine.


I would like to say I will have a day of rest...but there is a bead show I NEED to go to...AD Adornments will be set up and I really want to pick up some of her lovlies. So hubby and I will go into Nashville and then off to lunch.

I hope you all are enjoying your weekend and come back tomorrow as I am going to have a super giveaway! Yay, I can't wait!

Giddy Up

Cowboy Sam and the Rodeo....c1951

I love vintage children's books and came across this book while I was in Nevada, I just had to have it... it was a child's book AND it was about horses! The graphics are just wonderful! I also have been tossing a pair of vintage horse buttons around my work table for a while now, not sure what to do with them, well finally their day has come, (at least for one button). This piece just makes me smile...although the horse on the button is jumping a gate and the book is about a rodeo, close enough for me.

So tell me in one word...what makes you smile? One Word Only!
