Caviar Party...

I have to share with you this post my first ever caviar tasting experience! Yes, I said first ever, and I really don't know what took 40 something years to get to trying these delicate and fabulous little morsels. It was quite yummy especially with a bottle of stunning French champagne.

...the caviar was so delicious with a little spot of creme fraiche...

...the champagne, which I highly recommend, was the French brut Piper-Heidsieck and it was really the 'icing on the cake' at my first ever caviar party!

Me enjoying my first taste of caviar... but of course, not my first taste of champagne. LOL. 

Fun was had by all at the caviar party...

Oh and some just finished new pieces coming to my Etsy shop this Sunday afternoon....

...I have a fabulous and unique meerschaum creation that will be there...

..and these awesome antique original French medal and marcasite bird earrings will be there too...

Come join me on  "Superjewel Sunday" (my spin on Superbowl Sunday) in my Etsy shop where I'll post more pics of all of my latest designs. Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!

Sweet Duettes....

I have had one busy schedule this past week! Along with designing a few new pieces for the Etsy shop, there were two local shows taking place....whew, am I tired! We walked and walked all weekend at our local (and fun) antique show and also was able to attend the next town over's gemstone and mineral show. Lots and lots of goodies were acquired!!! Here's a little peek at this past week....

The new designs "Sweet Duettes"...

Fun vignettes from the antique show on Friday...

Me picking Mary Kay up to go antiquing.... It is safe to say, we were a bit giddy! Getting to go partake in one of our most favorite pastimes on earth....

Having a bit of fun at the show...

Go check out Miss MK's work here:  "Adorn By Samouce"

Some goodies from the show....LOVE, LOVE, LOVE everything I found...

Florida Freeze....

Hope you all are staying warm in this "painfully cold" cold snap we've all been experiencing. Yes, sunny old Florida is getting some of that brutal cold front that has come through this past week and I have been using this 'indoor' time to get down to business on some new designs.

With Paris in all of our prayers, hearts and minds this past week I decided to break out some of my treasured souvenir French pieces and design some little jewels in tribute of this great city we all love and cherish....

These pieces coming to my Etsy shop Sunday afternoon, see you soon and stay warm everyone!
