What's On Your List...

 I hope you all had a happy and safe Thanksgiving weekend.
As many of you know I have a 22 year old and an 18 year old.
I had asked both of them awhile back for their Christmas lists.
My daughter, the 22 year old, got hers to me fairly quickly.
My son is another story.  How do you get a teenage boy to complete this task?
For me it is so much easier to buy for my daughter than it is my son,
even if she had not given me a list.

So today a few more designs went up into the shoppe.
Cameos, crowns and lots of sparkle.






Have you started your list?

Many more designs to see here.

Have a lovely week!

When Busy is a Good Thing...


When I can't get to cleaning my house, or going to the grocery store,
when I keep making my old stand by dinners instead of trying
a new recipe, when I can't get to reading all my favorite blogs
let alone putting up a new post on my own blog,
when I literally don't leave the house for a few days
in a row and stay buried in my studio at my desk and computer,
it means I am insanely busy!  And sometimes I do think I'm going to
go insane!  I have been unstoppably busy making a 32 piece
jewelry order for the boutique here in town.
And I am insanely happy!!  This is the kind of busy that I welcome.
So I thought I would show you a few of the pieces that I will be 
delivering to the boutique this week.  Lots of necklaces, earrings
and bracelets.





And this is a new line of vintage religious medal necklaces that
I have made.  All the pendants are wonderful old religious medals
that I have surrounded with gorgeous old rhinestones and hung from
vintage rosary beads and rosary centers.
I am in love with the collection!


For me, this is when busy is good.

Thank you for coming by.  
Have a wonderful week!

Fresh Bling...

 I am super excited today.  As many of you know I have several of my jewelry pieces
in a local high end boutique here.  And every Friday morning the owner goes on
the local morning show to do a fashion segment.  Today it was on accessories 
and statement pieces.  Well some of my pieces were featured....given air time!
I am thrilled to say the least!  So THANK YOU to Faye and all the gals
at the boutique!

And just today I listed some new pieces in the shoppe.
It is that holiday time of year you know!


This gorgeous necklace has a vintage postcard image of the 
eiffel tower surrounded with vintage rhinestones, hand carved
shell cameos, Paris souvenir bracelet links, mother of pearl
rosary beads and other vintage elements.



These perfectly simple earrings started with vintage paste
earring findings.  I added beautiful pink tourmaline briolettes
and faceted rhondelles.  I love these.



The pendant on this longer "charm" necklace is a vintage french cut steel shoe buckle.
I have attached old religious medals and a small fleur de lis jewelry finding.  
The chain is made up of vintage watch fob links, old rosary beads, 
rhinestone beads, sterling silver chain pieces and lots more.  

Thanks everyone for visiting.  I always appreciate it
And I always love reading your comments so 
do let me know you stopped by!

Have a wonderful weekend!
