Silver, Gold, And Fringe...

Hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed Christmas!!! 

I am back from my holiday r-n-r with some sweet and elegant new pieces. I will be bringing these to my Etsy shop early Sunday during the day so come and join me there if you would like to take a further peek at them.

These pieces are delicate, monochromatic, and oh so gorgeous!!!

Here's a little preview....

...lots more "fringed" pieces to come in the days ahead!

Thanks for stopping by, be back real soon....

 designs are flowing like water from the jewelry bench!

Winter Siesta....

Hope you all are enjoying all of the delights of the holiday season! As for me, I am at my little mountain spot enjoying some much needed R-n-R and a some really chilly weather! No snow yet...but experiencing some potential for some with these wintry mountain temps. 

As of late, we've all been busy lounging by the fire....

....and we've been making some sweet little Christmas baskets for special friends. I really LOVE making personalized Christmas baskets, I usually make several every year filled with personal, special mementos for the family and our friends...

We were also finally able to get my French chandelier hung in my cabin's kitchen....

...this project was a year in the making. I found this treasure on my last trip to Belgium. I carried this thing by hand all over the Belgian flea market (which felt like hours and hours) until we could find our parked car. It took 3 months to ship here. And then upon taking it to my expert lighting guy (and scaring the living wits out of him with it) waited another 6 months for it to be re-wired. Finally it has made it to its final resting place... In my heart and hanging from the ceiling in my little mountain chalet...

...oh and what's a trip to North Carolina without partaking in a little Carolina BBQ?

We've also been enjoying some winter sunsets from the deck....

And look at what I woke up to this morning....we were literally floating above the clouds! 

Heavenly isn't it???

And lastly and most importantly....look at this big bag of treasures I scored for my 2015 jewelry designs....

(oh yeah, and it's full)

Just a very small handful of what's inside...

...stay tuned for lots of sparkle coming in 2015!!!!

And be sure to join me next Sunday for some fresh new designs and pieces coming to my Etsy shop.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Merry Christmas....

Happy Holidays Everyone!!! Taking a short little break in order to get ready for Christmas and travel to my 'happy place'. Be back soon and hopefully with some pictures of some snowy covered mountaintops. But for now, here's some little 'sugarplum' fairies wishing you a safe and happy holiday....

Little Christmas Helpers....

  

I have been super busy this past week getting ready for Christmas but also managed to finish six new pieces coming to my shop tonight.....

Mama's little Christmas helpers....

....such furry, tired little elves!!!! 

Hope your Christmas tasks are coming along smoothly, and that your little elves aren't working as hard as mine have been. See you back here real soon!

A Little Something New...

Hello there, hope you all had a fantastic and memorable Thanksgiving!! Mine was quite a whirlwind with

  a lot of cooking and a huge Holiday Market show right on its heels. All is well here and I managed to come out mostly unharmed, not very rested, but thankfully still all intact!

The good news is, I do have some pieces left that I will be bringing to my Etsy shop tonight. And,

I am so excited to introduce my new men's line of jewelry tonight...and just in time for the gift giving season and all of those "hard to buy for" men! They are all pieces made from vintage war memorabilia, deer antlers, beautiful chain and random bits of 'manly' nostalgia.

Here's a little look at what I will be bringing for the guys tonight.....

Here are some pictures from the Watercolor Holiday Market I showed at last night....

We had SNOW!!!!

yes, less than a block from the beach, we had snow.... and it was so lovely!!!!

....I never am able to get enough pictures at these shows, because I am always so busy helping customers with my jewelry and this show was no different! Although I did manage to sneak away for a minute and visit with Santa.....

....and my most favorite visitor of the night....

....adorable Stella! Just too cute!!!!

And this is how we all felt by the end of the night....

YES...me too Santa!!!!

I also have a few new and festive pieces coming for the ladies tonight to my Etsy shop....

Have a great week everyone. Come visit me tonight in my Etsy shop to see more pictures of my latest Men's collection of bits and baubles!
