EAR CANDY....

I have finished up some really sweet briolette drop earrings for this weekend's jewelry offerings. I will be listing early this afternoon as to get a head start on time. All of these earrings feature some of those treasures from that outstanding, huge French lot I just received. He's a little preview...

I've also been chiseling away at my master bath remodel...not quite finished yet, still have to hang the outrageously heavy mirror (not looking forward to :-(  that one ) , do a few wallpaper touch-ups and hang my grandpa's vintage Black Forest carved deer heads he left for me. But, I'm almost there!...

...and I've been enjoying the last few days of summer by watching some real crazy weather patterns from the deck......

Come see my new collection in my Etsy shop later today!

Happy weekend everyone...See you back here soon with my bathroom remodel reveal.

Totem Pendants...

Hi my jewelry lover friends! I have four new pieces to offer up this week for the weekly shop jewelry drop....They are four necklaces that feature the "totem" style pendant. That's vintage elements along with gemstones and crystals all stacked up and complimenting each other to form a unique, one of a kind pendant hanging beautifully along the neckline. Here's a preview of what's to come...

...oh and I really got busy this past week finishing up my bathroom remodel. If yo ever have the opportunity to hang wallpaper, here's a tip:....Always go for the pre-pasted wallpaper...so much easier and faster than pasting it yourself! It only took me 7 wallpaper projects to figure that one out...LOL.

Come on over and see me later today in my Etsy shop for more info and pictures on these new/old Totem pendants. Happy end of summer my friends!!!

Been busy, busy, busy these past few days hanging wallpaper and creating with some of my latest gem show finds. I have a new collection that will be dropping in my Etsy shop early this afternoon with some gorgeous gems from that show paired up with some of those outstanding treasures from that huge vintage French lot I just recently acquired. Here's a peek at the new collection...

Here's a preview of my wallpaper shenanigans from this past week...

will post the "After" pics this coming weekend after all the final details are set in place.

Also been enjoying a bit of quality time in my happy place....Gosh, how I love it here!

Come see the new collection in my Etsy shop this afternoon, or you can reach out to me earlier for the first dibs on them.

Bespoke Bee Lockets...

Hi there, there's a new collection dropping this evening in my Etsy shop that feature sweet little custom made genuine bee lockets. I got so inspired this past week from my garden bees here on the ridge that I decided to make a few locket necklaces that feature them. Now, with that said, I have NOT harmed these Eastern Bumblebees in any way. I have found them already deceased from natural causes while scouring my property, here on the mountain's ridge. I would NEVER intentionally kill anything for the sake of my work...all these bees were found As Is...I love these sweet little creatures, they are very sweet and gentle bees, and I am so happy they have found a home in my mountain garden.

...also have a couple of bracelets coming too that are also inspired from my mountain garden...

I also got to spend a little bit of time this past week with family on the always gorgeous Blue Ridge Parkway...

And looking out the opposite direction....

Come join me later today in my Etsy shop for more pictures and info on these sweet bee pieces. There will be better detailed pictures and descriptions of them there.

Happy weekend everyone!!!
