I've been wondering how to adjust my images I've been posting lately. They seem so large compared to other blogs and the ones in my shop look that way also. I need to play with this camera some more and see if there is a way to adjust the size. I have to admit I was never intended to be a photographer but I know there are a lot of people just like me, still learning! LOL

Since I'm so new to the blogging world - I figured I'd ask & see if someone can enlighten me. What is the purpose of the 'labels for this post' feature? Is it mainly a search function & if you don't use the tags, searching your site won't help? Kinda random thought!

I posted some new pieces this week and have seen an increase in views. I don't know if that has anything to do with signing up on google base or just plain old fashioned searching. Anyway, take a peak at my shop & look at the cameo necklace. It's a floral cameo, very different than the lady ones!

Went to the beach again this week. Humid, very humid! I found an interesting piece of sea glass - a great find really. I love beach combing looking for the glass! Till next time, Peace.

Today was very productive for me. I completed a couple of pieces I've been working on. I'll post a sneak preview for you. Comments welcome! :) The woodsy piece is very detailed with czech flowers and swarovski crystals. The peace bracelet is meant to be fun. Don't you love the disco ball? :) Flower power & groovy!! LOL

I took a snapshot of some of the vintage items I came across last week. There are some interesting pieces that I'm sure to use in a new design. I love the cameos I've been seeing recently.

Till next time, Peace.

It's been a quiet weekend, a few thunderstorms from Hurricane Bill. The riptides were bad here and the beaches were closed for a while. They're open today for business.

I came across a stash of old necklaces, earrings & pins from the 80's. Some pretty neat stuff. I can tear apart the necklaces and use some of the pieces. I'm not sure about the earrings & pins though. I'm still thinking about all that will entail. I'm still busy creating some new items right now so that project will wait a bit.

Till next time, Peace

It's so hot here! We went to the pool/beach at Ft. Monroe to cool off a bit. It was very refreshing. I had a nice walk on the beach with Mom. Dad lounged under the umbrella. Danielle brought a friend with her. They swam and tanned. Giggled. It's cute! All in all a great day! Suppose I should get some work done. Hopefully I can show a sneak peak soon! Till next time, Peace.

I've been really busy adding items to the Etsy shop I've opened. On my second day I had a sale! I was so happy to see all my efforts are worth it. One never knows if what you're selling is what people want! I appreciate the support of my customers so much! I'm busy creating new items along with still posting. I'll post a sneak preview in the next day or so (need to take photos!) Till next time - Peace.
