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!

New Earrings And A Diorama....


Good Day everyone, hope the wintery weather we are all having isn't getting you all down. I have been using this bad weather down time to get my local locations stocked up for the upcoming holiday season, prepare for a local Christmas show and tackle a major project here at home that has been needing tending to for quite some time. What project might that be, you ask? My dreadful, and highly unorganized closet! And that's putting it mildly. It looks as if a massive bomb exploded inside of it!!! Will post some before and after pics of the project in the days to come. But in the meantime, here are a few new pieces I have been working on this week....


Some delightful little baubles with aqua stones....



...some old carved roses...



...tiny little Christmas deer that float from the lobes along with deep red-pink rubies...



...and a stunning little Seahorse Diorama....


All coming tonight to my Etsy shop!!! Be back soon with some pics of my project on the homefront and some upcoming pieces for the Holiday show I have been working on. Stay warm and creative everyone!!!

Random Bits of Bling....

Topsail State Park-Santa Rosa Beach, Florida 2008

Hello again! I was over visiting with Glenda at "A Dab Of This A Dab Of  That" blog and she had mentioned (along with some gorgeous pictures) how beautiful the sunsets were this time of year . Well, it got me to thinking (and digging) through my archives of millions of photos on my laptop to find a few of the oodles of sunset photos I have taken over the years. I just thought I would share a few with you today and to concur with Glenda that this is a great time of year for the beautiful sunsets God can bestow upon us.  Here are a few of my past years sunset endeavors...
