Listening to Lila Downs

Love her.

Global Display

A friend of ours is a school teacher and gave me discarded globes to use as window display for our shop. Playing with my globes! Funny thing is, people come in wanting to buy my globes;) Heehee. My globes are not for sale... Thank you very much.

Enjoy your weekend!

Addiction #20: Lace

This necklace is by LiveInStyle. Purrrrrr.

It reminds me of a burgundy lace dress I recently
purchased.

This Queen Ann's Lace Cuff is beautiful.
Hand embroidered by Waterrose.

I scored some lace curtains at an antique store.
They added just the right amount of pretty.
It's a girl thing;)
The curtains pictured are by
Cottage Home Couture.

I just realized that this addiction
is related to Addiction #2.

Turquoise Chandelier

My skeleton in all it's glory (thanks to Rerun $22).
Yed says it's pee yellow.

Ahhhhhh... the jewels...quartz, turquoise,
howlite and glass (my own hording).
This awesome paint color is called
Jaded Janet (Fred Meyer $9).

Feels like I'm making a Statue of Liberty Earring.

Priceless! I've been dreaming of this lady.
Finally she keeps me company in the studio.

Listening to Bjork

Love her.

Color Burst

This sweet gal had me swooning over the colors
on her shawl! It reminds me of Frida Kahlo.

The tiniest punch of yellow goes a long way.

This felted coin purse I scored at Unfurl in
Manzanita, OR. I use it as a clutch.

Carnelian and turquoise together are eye candy.

Big Day!

My little helper is at his first day at Kindergarten! Time flies! These photos above, my sweet monkey was almost 3 (he liked to work with pearls). Don't worry Mom, we were extra careful with our tools;) This has been a busy week. We have family here from Texas and a new "little miracle" addition to or extended family (lil' Jesse Dratton).

Enjoy your weekend!

We headed to Manzanita this week to charge our battery. This sweet lil' coastal town is lovely! We get giddy when we see the ocean. Enjoy your weekend!

Pink T

I pretended to take a picture of the flowers, but secretly I wanted to get a shot of Yed in his pink T (that I love). A guy that rocks a pink T is awesome;)
