Growing Towards the Sun

Well hello.
It's been a while since my last entry. Hope you are well and having a lovely Spring!

The weather in my neck of the woods has been mild, wet and cloudy. The locals are groaning about the terrible conditions of May. "When will we see the sun, will it ever warm up!?", etc. My flowers and plants are much more appreciative of this cooler spring. I have the most gorgeous poppies this year! I have lilacs and violets that have never looked happier. The flowers all grow towards the sun, even if it is behind a few clouds.

Itty Bitty Pretties

I'm putting together a small group of mixed metal pieces that speak to the modern minimalist in me. Sometimes you just want a hint of shine, and these earrings offer a light and comfy dose of golden light! Fresh in my etsy shop today.

Everyday Pearl Earrings

New sweeties headed to the shop this afternoon!

Pretty New Sparklies

New earrings in my Etsy shop! Handforged earwires and beautiful glass crystals add up to simply lovely little earrings. Possibly perfect for your party this weekend....

Shades of Silver

Lately I'm just loving the dark patina that can be given to sterling silver. I love to brightly polish the raised bits while the dark lurks in the recessed areas of a wire wrap. For these earrings I kept it simple: longer handmade earwires with drops of color that are messily wrapped in silver.  I think they are too sweet! Now available in my Etsy shop.

Ahhhhhh......

This morning an exhilerating coolness wafted into town.  I opened the windows to birdsong and breeze and filled my lungs with the good stuff. It has been so summery hot of late. The hot that weighs on you, takes your momentum, and melts your flip flops. So needless to say, I completely appreciate this change in weather.

Ahhhh....

Most excitingly, I have some new pieces to share.  This Summer finds me learning new silver working techniques. What a fun adventure!   Be sure to visit my Etsy shop often as I am adding new jewelry almost every day.


Until next time, here's wishing you a tall glass of lemonade and a peaceful heart.

Blue Skies and Red Poppies

Has so much time really past since my last post?!

I am still here, embraced by early summers skies and warm breezes. This season has been really lovely so far-different, but lovely.  For the last ten years I have had a booth at our local Farmers Market where I sell my handmade jewelry.  This summer I felt I needed to regroup and take a breather.  So, instead of late Friday nights and waking at 5:30 a.m. on Saturdays to get to market, I am sleeping in, lounging in my favorite vintage velvet chair and taking the time to have that second cup of coffee while I listen to the birds. I have so many projects I wish to explore. I look forward to creating as the whim strikes. 

I do hope you are breathing the sweet blue air and getting to feel the summer grass tickle your toes.

I will leave you with a vibrant snapshot of my poppies. They were spectacular this year!
