A Very Special Christmas

For months I've been collecting some very special antique pendants... shrines,

and meerschaums,

fancy cut gemstones,

and perhaps my most favourite of all - this tiny French relic, which reads 'Agnus Dei'. These treasures are becoming so hard to find!

And what Christmas would be complete without herald angels?

All of these designs will be available in my Etsy shoppe on Tuesday, November 27. And I've already begun working on more holiday pieces coming soon, including a gorgeous tin sacred heart.

I'll leave you with this very special creation from Thanksgiving. My 9-month old niece Tilly's first art project! Isn't that little hand print adorable?

Until next time, happy shopping, everyone! :)

It's My Birthday!

...and it's kind of a big one. Let's just say the second digit is a 5! I've had a lovely weekend so far, and have started receiving a few cards and surprise gifts from friends.

My co-worker Whitney made me this lovely felt swan. She's been giving these personalized little animals to the whole staff which she designs and hand-stitches herself. I'm trying to encourage her to open her own Etsy shoppe!


Paulina sent along this cool vintage cafe sign as a bonus prize when I purchased Coco, the dress mannequin, from her. I think it really jazzes up my sink, don't you?


And look what I found when I opened the fridge:


Looks like it's going to be a great day! :)
