San Francisco Diaries

Felty friend by Woolbuddy's Jackie Huang.

I love felty critters! I realized I left my memory

chip to my camera in Portland...Shiza (classy)!
Alas the ole camera phone blog pics.

Yours truly representing at SFIGF.
My fabulous & talented neighbors!

All work and a wee bit of play at the oldest

Chinatown in North America (and the largest).

Under the Dome at Westfield San Francisco Centre.

A beautiful mosaic of steel and glass that I can see

in silver and gemstones.

I ♥ San Francisco.

V Day Treats

Ohh- hi there!Lust. Drool.

Our local bakeries have the sweetest
pastries in shades of pink and red.
This one called my name.
Tis' the season!

San Francisco Here We Come!

This weekend we will be at the San Francisco International Gift Fair! With new designs in tow, here we go!

Lovely Hawai'i

Inspiration lies everywhere!

The sun kisses your skin and the mocha colored beach sand massages your toes. The ocean water looks like a mosaic of turquoise, chalcedony, sapphires and moonstones.

Druzy Slices & Geodes

Oh my! These make my heart flutter.

I paired them with tiny micro faceted moonstones.

I love the juxtaposition between raw and refined.

Earring Holders DIY

I love to display jewelry in non traditional ways at our shop Citrine and at home. I also have a terrarium fetish and hang my jewels on their glass rims (above).

Glass cylinders about the diameter of a dessert plate work really well. These will look lovely on your dressers or wherever you find yourself taking your earrings off. I layered three different sands and added little things I love like geodes or sea urchins. I recommend this link for beautiful sands: Artemisia

The weight of the sand keeps your holders in place. Enjoy!

My Love Affair with Turquoise

Turquoise, Amethyst and Garnet Tier Earrings

Clustered Wisteria Turquoise and Lemon Topaz Necklace

Turquoise and Champagne Quartz Tier Earrings

Turquoise is my black, brown and grey. It goes with all

colors and all gems. Opaque turquoise with

transparent gems?

Absolutely!

Invasion...of Legos!

These critters are everywhere!
I hear my little guy giggle when I spot one.
The one on my lamp is really sneaky.
