company, jewelry and new friends......

Hey all! So sorry I have been MIA...I'll be by to visit you all soon! We had a week of company and family get togethers, so it's been a little hectic! My sister came from Georgia with her 17 month old Emma. We did fun things like go to the beach, had a family BBQ....and of course shopped! I've always loved shopping with Jenn as she is sure to tell me what looks like crapola and what looks good. She worked for years in retail management, and still has the eye!

Having a 17 month old in the house was a little different for Jon and I, but the child is fairly easy going, and really loved her Uncle Jon. He'd come home from work and you could see her eyeballing him the minute he walked through the door. By the end of the night she was following him around the house, teasing, flirting, laughing and giggling at him! I on the other hand was paranoid all of the time that she would fall on the stairs, fall off the porch, go play in traffic...I DUNNO! When did I become so paranoid anyway???

I am waiting for pics. to come from somebody to show you how cute she is...the few I got all have the evil red eye! BAH!

During the craziness I would sneak a couple of peeks at the computer and discovered a great little blog called Funky Finds. She finds the most adorable sites, and I am linking her because I love what she comes up with! She found ME for crying out loud...she must dig deep into the depths of cyber space....hehe. Anyhoo...go over and say HI.....she's quite the cutie!

I finished a couple of new pieces last night....just in time as I sold the last two I posted. One piece went to a fabulous lady I met in NYC through Dawn. We all went to a tres chic spot for lunch...she was lovely and intelligent, and I even remember feeling a bit shy at first in her presence. (I KNOW, I KNOW...ME????) Let's just say, I really feel good about my work if she likes it! She's got style!

Remember...there is still plenty of time to sign up for the contest over at Junque Revival!

La Limoges ~ SOLD

I was digging through my boxes of broken pottery and china and NOTHING was looking good. But then I remembered that when Dawn and Hope came to visit, that I had pulled out a couple of pieces they might like to craft with. And there was this beautiful Limoges plate...all chipped and broken! I made a double wrap necklace with amber and jade beads, (to match the limoges design) it clasps in the front with a magnetic clasp.

Sea Grass ~ TRADED

I really love using this Maine sea glass in my pieces...I think it's as precious as any gem! I was in a soothing green mode...(green IS my favorite color after all)...so I used Jade and Avent beads in my green theme.

Before I leave you and head off to my REAL job, I just wanted to let you know that Hope has got some WONDERFUL new goodies at her shop! 

All I can say is that I love 'em, I love 'em, I love 'em! Click on the logo above to go and check them out!

Have a fabulous week darlings!
