Happy~Happy fall Dear Hearts...

Busy as a bee we are here at The Plenty To Do Farm!

Lots of stacking wood, raking leaves, and fall cleaning! There's a wedding coming soon....planned for next weekend with lots of friends and family from far and near! Big Daddy's Sister, Beth, is marrying Sweety~cakes Scott here in the country on Dad's beautiful piece of property next to the farm pond.

I'm also trying to make something pretty for my friend Rayjean's "Dirty Thirty" birthday by the weekend! There's a party and lots of food, drink and tunage for her 30th, and I'll definetly be there with bells on! *twinkle~twinkle*

In between all of this fall madness, I've managed to put together a few new pieces! I really believe I create in moods, using color and texture to express how I am feeling at the time. What do you think?

CIRCLES REVIVED

Vintage drawer pulled strung in shell and art glass beads....beautiful and eye catching! Will be adding this to my Revived Relic category.

SMILE

A new Junquey Lovely...blue viola painted and collaged with a mix of vintage papers. Framed in a funky original pendant and strung double stranded with lots of love.

TWISTED

Another Revived Relic.... named not just because I've twisted up the cool sterling spoon, but also for the mere fact that it's a bit different...a bit unconventional, and HEY...who doesn't like different?

That's about it for the moment kids. The Hubster and I just went shopping for recliners and our heads are a spinnin'! AT LEAST we are on the same page when it comes to style and comfort. This is going to be a reason to give the living room just a bit of a face lift this winter. We are both feeling the need to lighten the load and create more breathing room. I'm sure some of you know what I'm saying here!

Anyhoo...we went for dinner after, and I ordered a piece of chocolate cheesecake to take home...and it's SO calling my name! CIAO!

Hi Jes,
You're right about us leaving our comments on Flickr and forgetting about the blogs.
Must say that you've got some really fabulous pieces here. I've said this before, you're a true artist - you revive stuff and give them new life with the wonderful combo of beads. Proud to say I own a 'junquerevival' original ;p

Well done girl!

LOVE the new pieces! I often direct my hubby to your jewelry so he knows what I want for Christmas (or Halloween, or Thanksgiving...).

And I hear you on the breathing room thing. It's nice to get furniture that allows that!
