JewelryPalooza Revisited....

I've been really at it lately!!! Trying to get all stocked up for an upcoming local Holiday Market (more about that later) and trying to keep my local store shelves and my Etsy shop stocked at the same time has been quite daunting! But things have been rolling right along nicely and here are several new pieces that will be in my Etsy shop starting early this afternoon. (Gotta tune into Pemberly and The Paradise tonight,

 so I will start listing early today ;-)

here's a little preview...

Oh, and I must share these cute photos of my niece in her Halloween costume with you....

très adorable n'est-elle pas????

Have a wonderful week everyone, see you back here soon with more details on my upcoming Holiday Market I will be attending.

Beautiful Paste And Gemstones...

 I've finished lots of new pieces this past week and they all are brimming with beautiful gemstones and gorgeous paste pieces. Here's a little looky....

Just look at the gorgeous rubies I was able to get my hands on this past week! Rubies have always been my favorite gemstone, I just can't get enough of them....

I also used one of the prettiest French rosaries I have ever come across in one of my designs this week...

containing the beautiful elements of aqua glass, a scrolled fleur crucifix, and cherub rosary center

...and this stunning St. George piece, I have been hoarding for years.... I have finally found the perfect place and design for him....

All of these pieces will be in my Etsy shop beginning late this afternoon. Come see more pictures of them there!!! Have a lovely weekend everyone!
