Camera gossip

Canon PowerShot SD1200IS 10 MP
Digital Camera $149

Canon PowerShot G11 Digital Camera $499

I'm saving my pennies for the G11.
This one came highly recommended by my friend
Kim. She knows what she's talking about.
Check her work out here.
Meanwhile I bought the SD1200 and
for the money, it works great.
I actually have crispy blog photos (instead
of crummy phone photos). For
me it's always been a pain to find
a camera that works with my rookie skills.
Thanks Leah for introducing us;)

McMenamins Roadhouse Show

Sweet little gathering at this show.
It was super mellow and nice to chat with local artists.
Here's a small pic of the Rubies and Emeralds we
showcased there.

Frida Inspired Christmas Cards

She inspired my Christmas Cards this year.
I also got to throw glitter on them!
How many chances do we get
to play with glitter?
Not enough...
apparently.

Gingerbread Latte

If you start the day with this (thanks Yed),
it has to be good.

Christmas Cookie Baking: Part1

A friend told me about these cookie stencils

that are for sale at New Seasons.
I thought, "I can make that."
So I did and it was fun!
Now I want to make cookies all day!
I used my flower punches, paper
and a sugar sifter/espresso filter.
Cookies anyone?

Micah's Cookie

Micah said I had to post his cookie on the blog.
Here it is in all it's glory!
By the way,
check out these awesome cookie cutters here!

Three Strand Caviar Necklace How to:

Thanksgiving Eve...

Obviously Yed humored me by taking these pics today.
Hope you have a great Holiday!

Decor

I love these Pom Pom decorations I
found on Martha's site. You can make
them or buy them made in all colors.
They have them at Michael's (shhhh
I wont tell if you don't tell). I get all
giddy when it comes to decorating.
It's like jewels for you home.
My little guy loves it too...
Yed will come around;)

Display ideas: Wood

It's my addiction #4.
I love wood!
I came across a company called The Whimsy Tree
and they make these cute building blocks out of branches for kids. These are perfect for my display and the jewelry! I like to play around with display ideas a little... So I was tickled when my wooden blocks came in! Enjoy your weekend:)

New Additions...

Blooming Necklace

Garden Disc Drops

I've been wearing this set together all the time lately.
These are from our new collection and they
recently flew to Texas with me too. My
momma gave them the thumbs up
for the collection;)
Do as momma says right?

New Collection: Sassolini

Our New Collection is here!
I just had to post a little teaser.
Sassolini means little pebbles in Italian and our collection
consists of little Jasper stones sprinkled throughout.
Our Jasper is North American and the colors are
beautiful (Lavenders, chocolates, greens & mauve's).
We finished it with touches of lemon topaz
and classic Caviar pieces.

Inspiration

These 2 images inspire many, many pieces in our jewelry.

These beautiful images are by Lori.

She captures her lovelies just right.

Find her work here.

New Collection

We've been working feverishly to get this
collection out and it's almost finished.
Sassolini means tiny pebbles in Italian. Our new work
has tiny stones of jasper and topaz sprinkled throughout.
There is about 24 hrs to go...
Gotta get back to work!

Cozy thoughts

Cozies put a smile on my face.
There is cozies for everything!
Even my car antennae has a cozy (thanks Maggie).
Anyway the word and it's meaning make me smile.
I need my own personal cozy.
Maybe it would be a full body cozy with feet.
That would be awesome;)

It's official. I can't help myself.
I love feathers.

Is that possible?
Reminds me of old Hollywood movies.
Lovely.
