Saturday Shopping Sale...

I love a SALE..especially on Saturdays when I can shop online and don't have to wear shoes (but I do shop for shoes) I don't have to wear make-up, and I don't have to get "dressed". SO I decided to pro-long my Etsy store sale until Friday, March 19th to 15%off everything...I DO love my new ribbon brooches and they are quite fabulous, pinned to a Spring-y linen jacket or even a purse .... oooh yeah purses...now that's another thing I haven't shopped for lately..Oh how I love Spring.

Almost Valentines day...

Just posted many vintage inspired jewels...perfect for Valentines Day and shipping is free. Be sure to check them out for any last minute gifts for yourself and the ones you love.

A New Year and giving thanks...

It's been months since I've last written on my blog...I do have valid reasons, if not excuses. I started a new job full time right after my last entry and time has just flown by since. It's hard to belive Spring is right around the corner! I've had a tough last 5 months though and I hope and pray for healing and peace for this new year. My father passed away 3 days after Christmas-he lost a tough battle with a staph infection that he fought for several months and a week to the day he died, my grandmother passed away at the sweet age of 94. I've had my share of loss this year, but I can't help but think healing and peace is on it's way:) I've just now regained my passion to create and make things again and I am so looking forward to getting to work on some new ideas I have for my shop on Etsy...It's amazing when you find a creative outlet you love and actually take the time to create things again. It's healing and comforting and I love having something else to focus on and look forward to. I'm fortunate to have a strong and close family and it's time now to move forward and be inspired by the things I love the most. To you daddy, you will always be in my heart and grandma will to. I thank you both for the love and support you always gave me and the encouragement and the strength to carry on.

i carry your heart with me by E. E. Cummings

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear; and whatever is doneby only me is your doing,my darling)i fearno fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart i carry your heart

(i carry it in my heart)

anyone there????

been SO long since I blogged on this blog that I desperately felt the need to post something....it's called the kids are out of school, husband and I launching a new business (scarry in this day & age), loosing my mind in between( yet extremely thankful and floored at the flood of blessings that have come our way), and I 'm the type who can't say no to custom orders, etc. I live in constant. orderly chaos and if I didn't have tooooo many things going on at once, I would really have a meltdown...but I think I did have one in May though:) that's o.k., because you never give up, you always push on and keep going. whew...feels good to let it out and type it out! to all businees owners no matter how big or small, just know that you should keep on keeping on and one day everything will turn out when you least expect it to. I've had and on-going walk of faith to work on and I'm amazed at every door that God continues to open and for that I am so thankful . I wish everyone out there well and encourage you to keep going in your businesses. my jewelry store has been such a place of solace and so enjoyable:)

ok, enough on that. so, on that note, I will be posting more jewels I made months ago and didn't post yet! one in particular I love....this bracelet. so Frenchy and fun to wear.enjoy the rest of your day blog readers:)

I've added and been found by SO many fabulous fellow Etsy designers and other fellow tweets and I must say thanks for the following and the entertaining words I've been following this past weekend. A special thanks to Louise from Pretty by Pistacio for featuring my "monica" bracelet on her blog of pretty things:) you must check it out and add her to your favorites to. http://prettybypistachio.blogspot.com/2009/04/i-heart.html

At least here in Texas. whew....we'll see. What I couldn't do with a few trillion dollars that I couldn't pay back either:) ouch! Anyway, off track again, I am extending my earring sale to 10% off to stimulate jewelry sales in honor of this news as I am hopeful and optimistic and it is a beautiful day outside today. And a great day to shop and buy handmade:)

Treasury Love...

Holy cow I got to make a new treasury and the coffee I made was perfect this morning to:) the makings of a great day! (link to my treasury)

http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=48054

I've also FINALLY added some new jewelry I've been tinkering with since Christmas (eeeek! and more to come) and got around to properly photographing and posting. I do love them and hope you do to. The economy isn't so great and the world's future looks so bleak when you cringe to watch the news, so hopefully you can find the beauty in each day and everything you experience (good & bad) ! I for one browse through Etsy each morning and always find something to smile about & that inspires me. Thank God for creative outlets and incredible artists that make each day a little happier and brighter. So,enjoy your day and check back soon for my SPRING SALE -details posted tomorrow!!!

Bunny Love...

This is Chloe bunny and as promised to my lovely children, I am blogging about her:) She is my kids rabbit and,well, might as well be one of my kids. But I do love her so very much (wink) even if I am the sole care-giver as far as her feeding and cleaning up after her...especially when I give in and let her in the house and she leaves several tiny reasons behind when I beg the kids to take her back outside to her cage:) Anyway, she is also very talented as you can see and loves to lay on her back when my kids gently let her rest on the rug. It's great having our own version of an Easter bunny year round and surprisingly she is rather easy to take care of and our bird-hunting cat doesn't seem to mind her either. Maybe I'll make a bunny inspired necklace next:)

Thank you Etsy Staff

ok, so I knew something was up when I had over 500 hits on my "my beloved" locket last Friday and I had no idea why(never happens to little old me)...THEN someone send this to me today and there it was, chosen to be on the front page by the awesome and incredible Etsy staff. Not to sound like a complete geek, but I never thought I'd be chosen for a Treasury let alone the front page:) It was a little dream come true since I've put so much time into my little jewelry shop and I do truly love it and am thankful for the outlet of sanity it has given me...I had a rotten day Saturday that really got me down because of a test I had to take for advanced training class-I don't test well, I'm an artist:) ha! Anyway, thanks to etsy and to the shoppers out there who love me and my jewels. AND I DO love the other lockets listed by the other sellers-aren't they fabulous? Such talent. My husband thinks I deserve a glass of red for this one and I have to say I agree-who am I to argue?

*did I mention I added free shipping to my site?

Locket Love:)

I love lockets...I think it's the idea behind it that you can put a picture of someone you love inside and by wearing it you're keeping them close to your heart and they're always with you. I really adore these new lovely locket earrings and I think they're really perfect to wear for everyday to. They're sweet and feminine and the bows are tooooo cute. I'm really into bows lately to since they can instantly turn something simple into something girly and fabulous. Funny thing is I'm not that girly or frilly, but I do think they're very Grace Kelly/Audrey Hepburn-ish and I love the classic style and time-less look... Soon to come are the matching necklaces if I can ever get to posting more today:) Very chic!

*AND shipping is free

Almost here..

Spring is almost here! The weather is slightly changing and things are starting to slowly bloom, which means allergy season is about to start again, but never the less, that also mean new and cute blossom inspired jewelry:) I whipped up this new turquoise/locket/blossoming "Sweet Talula" necklace this weekend and just love it. Perfect to dress up or down and still has that vintage-y feel. I have also added FREE SHIPPING to my etsy store -yeah:) More to come soon and more weekday specials to follow.

*AND please be sure to check out this Sweet Talula necklace and SO many cute other spring inpired things on Honeybelles blog at http://honeybelleblog.blogspot.com/ Enjoy your day!
