This is a gorgeous treasury and she obviously spent a lot of time putting this together. Every item is focused on heirlooms, timeless & classic! I'm honored she chose one of my creations!

April is slowly leaving us. My special this month has been a discount on all feather & wing creations. Take a peak before the prices go back up to norm! Keep checking back & I'll announce the May special before it's posted in the shop. Thank you, thank you to all my customers for supporting my shop & the handmade community. I appreciate each and every one of you for choosing my little corner of Etsy!

Till next time, Peace

No Foolin! Wow, where did March go??? I introduced a lot of new items the months of February and March. A good response from my customers and I thank each of you! I even saved some for Mom and myself! My daughter designed the block 'love' necklace for us. What a sweetie; she wanted to layer some necklaces and it looks fabulous with her Eiffel tower charm necklace! She's had a great time with them at high school with loads of compliments!

My home is near Grandview Nature Preserve if anyone is a sea glass collector. You know there are not that many places left on the east coast to find those pretties. We have one of the best around to find such treasures along with conch & helmet shells, lady slippers, jingles etc. etc. It's a long hike out to the beach area but worth it! I'll attach a photo of my jar of sea glass and hanging on it is my Grandmother's crystal necklace. Look at the clasp - very Victorian! I can't tell if they are Swarovski crystals - I'd have to take them to a jeweler to get the answer to that question. They sure are sparkly though! From the 50's or 60's fashion!

I have a lot of inventory that needs to move out to make room for new creations. I've started putting together some 'grab bags' with several items in each one and there will be a dozen or more of them. Keep your eye out - there just might be something you'd been looking at for a while! That's about it for now. Till next time, Peace

I've managed to stay super busy since the beginning of the year. Thanks to all my wonderful customers!

Winter has been...well, winter here on the east coast of Virginia. We've had more snow the past two weeks since I can't remember when! The wind is howling outside now. No telling what it will look like in the am.

I've fallen in love with the sakura flowers. Look at the rings I created. Its the prettiest flower yet!

On a lighter note, Danielle received her learners permit to drive. She drives me around all the time! I'm getting spoiled here! She's a very good driver too. Right turns are a bit scary!

Till next time, Peace

Happy New Year everyone! It's been a very nice, long holiday for everyone. We relaxed, ate too much food and played some board games - mostly good ole Clue! We went to the movie theatre a couple of times - It's Complicated is a hoot!

Tonight, all is quiet on the home front. It's back to work/school tomorrow. I've been working on new designs for this year and have a huge sale going on now.

Till next time, Peace
