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. 

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.

Mesmerizing Moonstone

The moonstone is characterized by an enchanting play of light. Indeed it owes its name to that mysterious shimmer which always looks different when the stone is moved and is known in the trade as 'adularescence'. In earlier times, people believed they could recognize in it the crescent and waning phases of the moon.

The moonstone symbolizes our being in its entirety. With its soft shimmer, it strengthens our emotional and subconscious aspects. The associations connected with that make it a "lovers' stone", evoking tender feelings and safeguarding the true joys of love. It is also said that wearing a moonstone strengthens our intuition and our capacity to understand.

Moonlight Moonstone can be found in my etsy shop.

On another note...the DH and I had a wonderful weekend away. The West Baden Springs Resort was everything and more we had hoped it would be. We love staying at Historical hotels and this hotel was just amazing. The atrium was just beautiful...marble pillars, urns over flowing with ferns, furnishing were all pristine, with the decor being art nouveau, definitely a step back in time.

On our way home we stopped at an antique shop. It took my breath away as we entered as it was chuck FULL, and I really mean that! There were only tiny paths to walk down, treasures everywhere. As you can see by this picture taken with the camera phone I meant what I said! I found this great child's hickory chair that came home with me and will end up in my antique booth. A great ending to a perfect weekend!

"Fit For a Queen"

“Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness.”

This piece is residing in my Artfire shop. You can visit her there.

A month of Silver & Glass at Artbeads.com

I have created this necklace to celebrate ArtBeads.com month of silver and glass. They have oodles of great items to choose from and there always seems to be some great sale going on.

Right now you can get 50% off all their Czech glass beads. My favorites are the Picasso roundelles, they come in such a great array of colors. In this necklace I used the Salmon/Peridot Picasso roundelles and wrapped them in sterling along with tiny sterling handmade rolled beads by the Hill Tribe. A five petaled flower pendant is another one of the Hill Tribes handmade creations and is joined with a coral drop bead. All the sterling has been oxidized and buffed just a little to let some shine through.
Artbeads has all of their pendants on sale with 15% off, it sure is a great time to stock up, and as always U.S Shipping is always FREE and shipping to Canada only a buck! You gotta love that!

Fire Opal Picasso beads are used in these Holiday bling earrings. These beads catch the light so nicely and have great movement.

London

Here is one of my fun resin projects....it is so nice to finally use all the little snippets of vintage and antique papers I have been hoarding. I knew someday they would get some good use! I was lucky enough to travel to London with a girlfriend about 6 years ago. It was a wonderful trip and I hope to return someday with the DH. I hope this necklace will bring back wonderful memories for someone too. You can find this piece in my Etsy shop.
