Sweet Things...

 
Well another week has flown by faster than I could blink an eye...my, oh my where does the time go???? And, it seems to disappear so fast! It's actually quite scary how time gets away from us so quickly!
 But on a happier note, I have managed to finish some new pieces coming to my Etsy shop this weekend and they are all inspired by one of my favorite themes....Nature.
I am calling these pieces 'Sweet Things' because they all are made of some of my favorite sweet subjects: Horses, birds, swans, crosses and you guessed it,  BLING!

Time For Another Giveaway....

 
After celebrating this past week's occasion of 'love', and after not hosting a giveaway in a while, it all of a sudden dawned on me! Time to spread some 'love' here in blogland and throw another jewelry giveaway!!! This time the giveaway's prize is a sweet aquamarine and vintage Crucifix bracelet. All you have to do to have a chance at this one of a kind bracelet is leave me a comment on my blog and be or become a follower of my blog. It's that easy to have a chance to win. So good luck to all and thank you for continuing to stop by and take a peek into my world of "everything jewelry".



 
 
 
I also have some new earrings coming to my Etsy shop tomorrow evening...

 
...and they're all about chains and fringe...


 
...and I absolutely adore these vintage French watch hands as tassels for these antique emerald glass pieces...


 
Hope everyone is staying warm this weekend and enjoying some "indoor" activities. As for Florida, it's quite cold down here this weekend....Brrrrr.
Be back soon mes amis!!! And good luck to all on the bracelet giveaway!

Random Fun Stuff...

 
Hope everyone has been staying warm in this very wintry weather we have been having lately. I have been busy as a bee working on some new fun pieces going to my Etsy shop tonight.  I also have been able to get some large 'not so fun' projects tackled (like taxes started and garage organizing finished) with this awful weather we have been having. So at least it has brought about some productivity.
 
This week's collection of designs has no specific theme, just some random fun creating! I let my imagination run wild this week...and here are the pieces that sprung from my bench....
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
 I hope all my North Eastern friends are staying warm and safe up in our coldest corner of the U.S! Just remember, during that crazy blizzard, Spring is right around the corner! Have a great week mes amis. See you back here real soon!

Handpainted Treasures...

 
Have you ever found something so magical, held it in your hands and was instantly transported to another time and place? Well, the piece pictured above is that ONE special something for me. It is the most beautiful Victorian hand painted landscape scene under glass I ever been lucky enough to find. I found it on my last trip to London, and instantly fell head over heels in love with it. This is a piece, that is so special...because, not only is it a souvenir from a fabulous trip filled with lots of fun memories, but it holds those unique powers... the power of taking me to another era and place in time. I get lost in this beautiful scene every time I stare into it. That is the way jewelry is supposed to make someone feel, and when you have found that one, certain piece, you covet it and cherish those feelings they awaken inside you.
 
I have a few more English hand painted pieces I have been working on this past week along with some coming up in the days ahead....
 
 
There is a homage to Cambridge...



 
 
...and a very special necklace with souvenir's from DoverCourt...
 





 


 
 
 

 
 
I also have some hand painted Toil pieces coming up too (more about them later)...







 
To see and read more about these pieces, stop by my Etsy shop this evening. They will make their debut there tonight. Have a beautiful weekend everyone!
