So why on earth I hadn't blogged about this sooner is way beyond me! But tonight in the big metropolis of Emporia, Kansas there will be one hell of an event........... The 7th Annual MainStreet Auction and yours truly donated one sweet piece for the cause!

Heres to stormy weather!

I love this time of year in Kansas.... unexpected thunderstorms, torrential downpours, hail that would fill your cocktail glass with one shot (OK so the hail is a real bummer but what do you do... time to make Margaritas outta limes i think) LOL.

So I left you last time with a little teaser about the crystals I had ordered. Well I got them and they are so fantastic~!!! I couldn't wait to get this piece done to share with you.
She is simplicity defined!

Just like Dolly Parton.... she's super shiny and just an all around GEM!!!

"Dolly" is the perfect example of simplicity being stunning. There is nothing you couldn't wear this with... well OK so you may not want to wear it with your 'jammas but other than that~!!

She's already listed on Etsy.com so catch her before she's gone! Get Dolly Here!

I'm off to go stare at the sky a little more... Sky and Radar!

So until next time~

Peace, Love and Storm Chasin'

Custom Works!

There is nothing better than being able to say that you have a ONE OF A KIND! I love it, have since I was a little girl. I'd love to take something that is just ordinary and make it my own. I'd take clothes apart, add trims, change the style and just make it all me! Now I have the pleasure Of making one of a kind jewelry for others like me who love to be different!

Over the past month I've been working with fellow Etsian Michelle Glaeser to create a great piece in trade for something that I LOVE from her shop (i love Etsy).

First let me introduce you to "Peacock Star".... the fun star concho piece that I made for Michelle:

A fun mix of amethyst, sodalite and sterling silver, and a few fun glass pieces thrown in because the color was so completely on the mark!

NOW... Michelle Glaesers work... OMG I'm in LOVE with her stuff and "Lofty Heart" is about to me MINE!

Now this one is for sale in her shop (see link above) and is a total steal! Mine will have a crown on top of the heart because well... you know if I had a halo it would be tarnished and I'm more of a princess anyway. LOL

So.. when you see me sporting "Lofty Heart" be jealous... be very very jealous! ;-)

Until Next Time~
Peace, Love and Wings

Earring addiction!

I think I've managed to form an earring addiction lately.

The "Love me Knot" earrings were originally designed for my aunt Marcia at the Spring Open House. This pair are done in a beautiful neutral Picasso jasper with sterling silver findings.

I love these earrings! "Minted" is the name of the bracelet that goes with these earrings. Beautiful mint alabaster faceted globe and Swarovski crystal with Bali silver accents. They may look big but as they say... "Go big or go home"!

The simplicity of "Graduated" appeals to just about anyone. These are a great "go to" pair of earrings when you are in a rush and just need to grab something and go!

"Wooded" are all kinds of earthy. The beautiful Picasso jasper and wooden looking beads are a great combination. Sterling silver swirls around the top 2 beads like a breeze.

"Global" look like little globes of the earth being cradled by beautiful Bali silver. I usually like bigger earrings but for some reason i think these make a great statement without being bigger than a thought. "Global" also go great with the Denim Blue "Cowgirls Dream" necklace featured in my last post.
Aaahh "Gypsy" how i relish the thoughts of wandering in search of wonderful treasures. These earrings are made to compliment the "Gypsy" necklace mentioned in the last entry.


So many earrings and only 2 ears... whats a girl to do? Oh that's right, buy them anyways, they are just like shoes, you can never have enough!

Until next time~
