Christmas Treasures...

 

Hello, I hope you all had a wonderful and blessed Christmas! As for me, the designing did not stop. Managing to squeeze in some design time this week along with a few family Christmas visits, spending time with some long lost friends, celebrating Jesus' birthday, celebrating my birthday and finishing the always 'panicked' last minute Christmas shopping....well, this makes for one tired gal, and I am sure feeling it this weekend. But there will be a few new "Christmas treasures"

 in my Etsy shop tonight....and here's a little preview....

 

 

 

 

 

And the very best "Christmas Treasure" this season....

 

Natalia, my new precious and sweet little cousin. How gorgeous is she????

The whole family is just smitten with her.

Happy New Year everyone. See you back here real soon after some much needed rest.

Picture Buttons...

 

I have finally made it back from the chilly mountainside, and wanted to share this post some of my "mountain bounty goodies" I scored this past week. I got to visit my favorite vintage button dealer while I was up there, and WOW!....she did not disappoint. Just look at all these gorgeous little babies I found....

 

 

I was so inspired by my newly found collection....

that I got busy making some new pieces with them....

 

 

I also have some new earrings coming from the 'mountain goodies' too....

 

 

 Come see more of my new button bracelets and earrings tonight in my Etsy shop. They'll be there.

Au Revoir until next time blogland!

 

Taking Care Of Business (Mountain Style)....

 

Hi Everyone, hope you all are staying warm and your holiday season is rolling along smoothly. As for me, had to hit the mountain one last time to winterize our little mountain spot for the upcoming cold months of January and February.We also had to tidy up a few things around the yard and wrap some pipes to prevent some wintery disaster from occurring. This deep freeze mountain weather is something very new to us hot natured Floridians.

 I am managing to get a little treasure hunting in while I am here... 

 



 

 

...I am making sure to stop by all of my favorite antique haunts while I am here...

Hey, a girl has gotta have some fun, right????

 

 

 

...love, love, love this old Parisian Louis Vuitton medal I found....

 

 

...and really LOVE this gorgeous early 1900's bakelite cross I was so lucky to stumble upon....

 

 

So stunning and just look at that color!!!!

 

I do have some fun new pieces coming to my Cherished Relics supply shop tonight. I will be filling the supply shop up all week, so please stop by and have a look around.

And I will be back at the end of the week with some new designs for my jewelry shop too.

Everyone stay safe out there this holiday season! See you here again real soon!!!

Holiday Bling and Gemstone Candy....

 

 

Well, I got my little mitts on some gorgeous new rocks...

...and I just couldn't wait to get started with them, so I created "Somewhere Tropical"...

 

 



 

 I'm trying very hard to save the rest of these colorful gems for January, you know, for when we all start getting those 'wintertime blues'.... but I don't think I will be able to hold out, they are so much fun and to play with.

 

I also have some new/old 'bling' pieces finished....

 

All coming to my Etsy shop tonight!
