Up In The Clouds...

Bonjour my friends!!! I just got back from a wonderful whirlwind trip with friends to see a concert in Mobile. Our friend, who happens to be a pilot, (and a very good one at that) flew us over in his personal plane and it was just, well, FABULOUS!!!! Here was the view...


...believe it or not, this is what our water looks like down here in the panhandle of Florida. It is very Caribbean in color and really, really clear.








...not even a little bit queasy!

This is where the concert took place...
A legendary theater with lots of history!

Paintings on the inside of the lobby...
The concert, Michael McDonald and Boz Scaggs was great and the sound quality was even better in this quaint little theater.

Downtown Mobile...


...and some new earrings going to Etsy tonight...

Gorgeous New Rocks...

Check out these gorgeous new babies...

I just love the colors!!!!!

...deep, rich, yummy color!

...and such fabulous cuts...


I was so inspired by my new gemstones, I immediately began creating with them...





"Summertime" Earrings. I call them this because of the little slices of watermelon tourmaline that hang from their silver chains.




The "Queen of Heaven" Necklace. Do you see her???? She is just exquisite in all of her glorious detail...
...see more pictures of both of these new pieces at my Etsy shop tonight.
Have a happy weekend and keep on creating mes amis!!!!!

A Room with a View...

Hello, my friends!!! Here's the current status of my art room project....

The velvet curtains are hung, the bookshelves are painted and decorated with vintage sheet music....


My favorite antique velvet crucifix is perfectly placed....


Now, just waiting on the rug and chandelier fairy to do his thing and then the furniture!!!!
Will post the completed project in the days to come, but in the meantime, here's my latest labors of love...



This necklace is called a Swan's Tale. Once you scroll down you see why I called it that.


 This beautiful antique ebony locket from Europe has the most incredible carvings on the inside of it. The detail inside of this piece is just wonderful! Look closely.....do you see the swan???

Some new earrings...
"French Medals and Gemstones"...so yummy!!!!


"Dreams of Persia"....made with gorgeous old, deep red rhinestones and aquamarine, one of my most favorite color combinations!



And another thing I have been up to....
A new location for my jewels. I am so proud to say, I am now selling my pieces in the fun, little beach town of "Seaside". This is a famous location with lots of star sightings! The new store where my pieces are is "An Apartment In Paris" and they sell beautiful original artwork and wonderful French gifts and decor.


See you next time mes amis, and until then, Happy Creating!!!!
