Enjoying a cloudy day

2011-10-26T20:51:00.000-05:00

Today I made an Etsy Treasury that was inspired by Sending Love Gallery's necklace. It was a beautiful overcast day so I used my love of cloudy days to fill out the rest of the list. I found some awesome handmade and vintage things to use in it. Take a look!

I was surprised to find "enjoy a cloudy day" on the first page of popularity of Treasury lists! So cool!

See! It was second!

Not another New Year's Resolution

2010-01-01T18:49:00.002-06:00

Someone told me that the only way to make sure that you actually do your New Year's Resolutions is to say the opposite of what you want. (Hi Sephanie!) Why? Because you always make these resolutions and then break them in the first month. So, if you say the opposite of what you want to achieve, you will have a much better chance of achieving it! Here it goes-

I will NOT pay better attention to my health this year. I'm NOT going to lose any weight, eat better, exercise more, or let myself rest when my body needs it.

I will NOT get better organized. I'm NOT going to clean out that mess of a closet, or go through my jewelry making supplies and reorganize so I can find what I need when I need it.

I will NOT stay in better touch with friends and family. I'm NOT going to make an effort to talk to people I love more often and reconnect with old friends.

I will NOT continue to learn new things, express my creativity, or grow my business. I'm NOT going to learn new metalworking techniques, get a sketchbook to catch more ideas before I forget them, and keep better business records.

Nope not going to do it! ;)

Best Wishes

2009-12-21T22:51:00.000-06:00

My new favorite kitchen tools!

These cobalt blue spoonrests came from Combustion Glassworks Etsy shop and they're fabulous! They're recycled glass bottles that have been slumped in a kiln to form the shape. I bought the larger one (about 14 inches) first but I realized I needed another. I'm loving the little one (about 9 inches) for my teabag and stirring spoon at night.

Hey look- I got a good screen shot of my latest treasury! Please click to go see it in person.

Fashion Friday- Big Summer Sun Hats

2009-06-19T15:33:00.003-05:00

Save your skin with one of these fashionable handmade summer hats found on Etsy-

This lime, lemon, and white floral fabulous floppy hat is from Super Jenny Love:

This one from Sarah Padgham Hats & Handbags is reversible from rust orange to natural linen. The shape of this hat has me imagining an old movie starlet wearing it in St. Tropez while trading barbs with Cary Grant.

From Sookie Etc, this is the perfect hat to take on a vacation-wide brimmed, elegant but not too dressy, and neutral in color.

I love the graphic flower print of the fabric in this wide brimmed hat from Nadine New York!

The perfect straw hat for a garden wedding from The Waltz.

Fun hat for the the hot lazy days of summer ahead. The perfect beach hat from Mojo Indigo.

Hot hot hot

2009-06-17T13:39:00.003-05:00

Stars on a Summer's Night

Fashion Friday- What the Heck to Wear with a Maxi Dress

2009-05-07T23:16:00.000-05:00

Maxi dresses are everywhere this year. You know the sleeveless dresses that have a flowy skirt down to the floor with a band just under the bust. Sometimes they're very bohemian, sometimes they're very beachy. Either way, they are hot and will be great in the heat of summer. But how do you accessorize them? I have some ideas-

Long Necklaces- These will highlight the length of the Maxi Dresses.

Fashion Friday- Lupus Awareness Jewelry

2009-04-30T22:08:00.004-05:00

May is Lupus Awareness Month.

I happen to love purple- the color used to signify Lupus awareness and I have Lupus, so I thought this would be a great Fashion Friday topic. Here are some great handmade sellers that are raising money for Lupus organizations.

Fo-Shizzle Design Studios donates 100% of the proceeds of this "Lilies" bracelet to the Lupus Foundation of America. Plus she donates the proceeds from every 50th item to LFA.

Vanity Designs donates 10% of all purchases for Lupus related tiles to the Gulf Coast Lupus Foundation. This one is my favorite. It gives people a warning not to say that you look fine. :)

Human Touch Designs offers this sparkly bracelet with 30% going to the charity of the buyer's choice.

Rock 'n' Bauble's Tears of Lupus Awareness Necklace has 10% donated to Lupus research.

Jodi's Craft Emporium gives $4 to LFA for each $5 Lupus Awareness Ribbon she sells. The butterfly is really cute!
Karen's Creations has a cute butterfly too. Half of the price of this keychain go to LFA.

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that can effect many body systems. I plan to share my personal story later in the month, but you can find out more about Lupus at The Lupus Foundation of America's website at lupus.org.

The Fashion Friday that wasn't

2009-04-27T22:22:00.003-05:00

Yes, I did miss Friday's Fashion Friday. There are some things going on in my family that I had to take care of, so I'm not going to apologize. But I am going to bring you a special treat. :)

This beautiful Stained Glass bracelet is the newest creation from Grandma Marilyn's on Etsy.
It's gorgeous! I'm in awe of Marilyn's talent and precision.

Etsy Voting for Mother's Day

I wonder if Noah's Ark Collection felt obligated to put me in her treasury because of my name?! :)

I think because it's only a couple of days until Easter, these cute bunny beads from Noah's Ark Collection caught my attention.

Fashion Friday- Sunny Days Ahead

2009-04-02T23:20:00.000-05:00

Sunny yellow is hot in fashion for summer. Bright yellow just radiates fun. It can be a kind of difficult color to pull off- I know I would look awful in a bright yellow dress with my barely darker than albino skin. However, a touch of this color would be great.

Fashion Friday- Like it Rough

2009-03-26T21:46:00.003-05:00

Rough gemstones, I mean.
I love all gemstones (I really do), but these rough gems just seem so much more daring compared to the normal high polished stones. They have an irregular, organic feel to them that is very seductive.

I found myself in Sea Babe's Etsy Treasury!

2009-02-11T19:56:00.005-06:00

I almost missed my bracelet in this lovely treasury by Sea Babe Jewelry. She has featured a bunch of us who belong to her new group- the Jewelry on Etsy Team or JET. Thank you Sea Babe!
Besides having one of the best shop name, Sea Babe Jewelry has some absolutely fantastic jewelry items. Her rings are what I first noticed, and this rough diamond and silver ring is my favorite. It's that perfect combination of earthy and sophisticated.

All that white-it's hail. It's not the greatest picture, but I was not going to outside to get a better picture! There was a tornado reported west of town, but luckily it didn't hit in Stillwater. The people south of here weren't as lucky.

Busy Beads has put together this fabulous treasury of chocolate brown and turquoise blue! My chocolate brown Circle Shell earrings were included. Yeah!

Most of the items in Adroit Jewelers' list have to do with peace, which brings me to this fabulous necklace.
