Tex

Today I made my new favorite piece I call "Texas". It is created using some treasures found on my recent trip to Texas. It is kind of whimsical, it's fun and very cowboy-ish! Love it...hope you will too.

Six shooter embossed charm, old horseshoe, antique Gold Medal adv. charm, brass horse button and a vintage monopoly game piece. Mixed metal vintage chains. You can find "Texas" in my Etsy shop.

I forgot I still had these pictures in my I-phone..taken where else but Texas. Looking at them again I just can't get  "Dirt road" by Jason Aldean out of my head!

 

 It actually rained like 10 drops when we were there, enough to produce this beautiful rainbow.

I'm Feelin Horsey

 

Perhaps it is after that nice country ride out to Leiper's Fork and seeing all of the gorgeous horse farms....naaaahhh, I always feel like this. I LOVE horses! My love developed late in life, 4 years ago to be exact. I am fortunate there are horses all around where I live, I can go out on my deck and hear all of the nickering from a neighboring farm. It is a longing I have deep within to own a horse. So for now I will share with you some horse themed necklaces I created in the past few days.

Enjoy!

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!
