Well, well, well! It's amazing what a true~blue relaxing vaca. will do for your creative spirit.

I've added some new Revived Relics to the shop. Here's a sneak peek!

For those of you who have emailed me about the Look Closely pendants, FIRSTLY, THANKS for your interest, they are coming SOON I PROMISE!! Want to hear a funny story? It wasn't funny last night, but it's becoming more and more humerous as today wears on...... Our oven (NOT stove top) but just the oven is not working. It kicked just about grilling time, so needless to say, we have kind of ignored the problem, as we are BBQ freaks this time of year anyway. Yesterday afternoon, I made up 30 Look Closely pendants. Big Daddy said he could bake them in the gas grill. Big Daddy discovered that he could not bake them in the gas grill. Well, maybe he could have, if he had not walked away for a mere 5 minutes. I came downstairs to the raunchiest smell I've had to smell in a long time, and Big Daddy looking very upset. No, it didn't take a genius to figure out the situation. I had to go upstairs and lay down. I could not be mad at him, because he was only trying to help, and he sat down and helped me finish them up too, placing the "O" rings in each and every one. SO, tonight HE and I will make up some more, and I will take a tray of them to a friend's tomorrow to bake.

I know, I know.... fixing the oven would probably be a good idea.

What a HUGE bummer to have lost all those pendants! On the bright side, your new art is simply lovely. Hooray for refreshing vacations!

We watched cheezy TV last night, and made up 30 more that I will bake off today! He really is the Best Big Daddy evah'! It became more and more funny as I told my Mom, my Sister and one of my Best Friends! You'd have to KNOW Big Daddy to get that extra kick out of the whole situation you know?! hehehehe.

Uuf! Yes, I understand the need to lie down and the humor! ;-) Glad you're surviving this together.

I LOVE this new stuff. The one with the deep blue velvety ribbon catches my breath!

Are those the smooth stones from your tipr?

OH NO! Big Daddy was only trying to help. I can't wait to see you new pieces in person. I'm bringing some $$$ because I've been itching for a couple new Junque Revival pieces.

I love your new work and I am glad you could find the humor in the story you told. It would have been very upsetting but its nice that he felt bad and helped you make more. Can't wait to see them!
