Treasury Love

Today is the last day of my Christmas holiday break, I return to the daily grind again on Monday. I'm so conflicted... I love the freedom of coming and going as the mood hits but I also love the prospect a new semester will bring...

Unless I discover a way to freeze time, Monday is inevitable. So it was such a nice surprise when I checked the Etsy treasuries this morning - my dear friend Jennie included me in her "Yes, I'm Ready!" treasury! Thank you for thinking of me as you put together this beautiful list!! It is active until the wee hours of Monday morning - go have a look at all the gorgeous pieces Jennie included!! And while you're cruising treasuries, please visit Jennie's shop and all her beautiful handmade bowls, infant snuggle sacques, rugs and more at SosoRosey! :D

The RIO GRANDE!

Today has been an eventful day! The NCAA Men's Baseball tournament is in full swing here and while my team (Georgia Bulldogs) lost yesterday we won today and live to see another day of play. We are in the "loser's bracket" - yuk - but hopefully we'll pull it out tomorrow. We have to win 2 games so make it into the Monday night game! Goooo DAWGS!

I have a new item up for sale entitled "Rio Grande" - if you like things BIG then this necklace is for you! It has a presence and will certainly spark some conversation!

New Listing of Enchanted Purple

It seems like it's been forever since I listed something new. Things have been so hectic with my daughter's birthday and the ending of the school year, I just haven't had the chance to create. But with all of that behind me, I'm back in the studio and ready to go! Yeah!! The first new item would have to be made with my most favorite color - purple!! I love the sparkle of these faceted cubic zirconia beads and the shine of the silver.

They are dainty and feminine with a new look for the earwires! Check them out!! :)

MONTH OF THE YEAR SALE!

Every month I have a "Month of the Year" sale. So... how this sale works... I choose an item and it's listed in my Etsy store for the same amount as that month of the year. Since this is April - the 4th month - this month's item is just $4.00! Now you may be thinking... how long will I keep the item listed at it's sale price? Well... this is part of the fun - it's a secret, a gamble, take a chance - you just never know when it will return to its normal retain price!

This month, the sale item is a pair of deep green hand-painted ceramic beads with a southwestern flair and accented with Bali silver and Swarovski crystal - all wrapped with sterling silver wire and dangling from sterling silver earwires.
