A Simple Summer Day

With the weather this nice, I try to get out and take walk in my neighborhood each day.  I usually walk to the post office first (with packages to customers!), then around some of the residential streets nearby.

 

 

I'm reminded of how fortunate I am to live among such beauty, and today I wanted so share these simple pleasures with you.

 

 

I've always loved the gargoyles adorning this house; they remind me of the ones on the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris!

 

 

I also finished up some earrings today that I've just listed in my Etsy shoppe...

Please stay tuned next time for my 'bohemian garden' collection, coming soon!  Until then, I hope you're all enjoying the simple joys of summer!  :)

 



 

 

 



A Pair of Crosses

I have been collecting some interesting crosses over the past year and decided to use a few in my new necklace designs this week.

 

I also worked on some other pairs... earrings that is!  ;)

 

 

This bronze Jerusalem cross really shows off against the simple chain treatment in front, and is balanced by a surprise of chunky gemstones in back.

 

 

 

   

 

Here some vintage Eiffel Tower charms pair nicely with bronze Edwardian castings for a simple earring from my t r e n d collection.



 

 

Sorry, folks... these fleur de lis goodies got snatched right up!  ;)

 

 

 

I love the sparkle of this large rhinestone cross pendant, served up with mixed metals and more gemstones.

 

 

Bronze hoops carry vintage heart charms and rose quartz brios in this fun-loving design.

 

 

Thank you for stopping by!  Have a great week!  :)

 

 

 

 



Just to Make You Smile

A quick note to show you some slightly quirky pieces I made this week... earrings featuring boy and girl charms and vintage rhinestone engagement rings, a gothic tintype bracelet, and and a classic cameo goes to Paris. Just to make you smile! :) Have a beautiful week, mes amis! :)

Darkness and Light

I don't know if it's just me, but my Blogger composition screen has completely changed and I can't figure it out at all! I was lucky to get these photos uploaded, but can't seem to type in between them! If anyone knows the secret, I'd appreciate some help! In the meantime, here's what I've been up to in the jewelry studio this week. A combination of darkness and light as we transition into a new season. Sorry for the sloppy formatting. I hope you will enjoy the pictures. :/
