Giveaway Winners Announced

The winners have been announced for the Daily Joy blog giveaway.
Congratulations to Amber G, Katelyne S, and Jennifer P!
Way to go ladies!

Thank you to everyone who entered.
I hope you all stop by my shop sometime!

~~~~~~~~~~

I just wanted to leave you with a picture of
a custom order I finished yesterday. 

The set consists of my Sister Moon hand textured disc earrings and a matching necklace adorned with a labradorite briolette. I like these a lot and plan on bringing them back to the shop. The original necklace did not use a stone, but I like it both ways. And I believe I will offer two different sizes of discs for the necklace. I'll use both the smaller size as in the earrings as well as the larger size in the original necklace. 

I love astronomy and have always been fascinated by the moon. I've spent countless nights gazing at it. These are my interpretation of our sister moon. I hope you like them too.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Until next time....

Spring, New Items, and a Giveaway!

It's been a busy spring so far (and a hot one too). It cooled off a bit today and we're having a little rain so hopefully that will wash some of the pollen out of the air. It's been absolutely terrible.

The pollen is all over everything, even that little ladybug in the picture above, and it's everywhere you look. I've been sneezing, have watery eyes, feel itchy all over. This is the only thing I don't like about spring. Other than the allergies, it's my favorite time of year with all its gorgeous blossoms. I love how everything turns green and comes to life once again.

The boy is enjoying the season too.

He got a new wave board that he's really pretty good at,
better than his regular skateboard.

And he's not been as bothered by the pollen. 

It's not nearly as bad since he's been having allergy shots!

I'd say it's been a good spring so far.

A cute pair of mini Twirly Slide earrings

I just loved these.
They're on their way to England!

And these earrings were a special customer request.

Beautiful crystal quartz in a lovely puff diamond shape.

Pretty enough for a bride.

The Morning of the Shoes

While getting the boy's shoes tied this morning... 

Me: "Are they too tight?" 

K: "They're fine."  

He stands up and says, "They're too tight." 

So I retied them, loosening them a bit. 

Me: "Are they OK now?" 

He shakes his head yes, stands up and says,
"They're too loose." 

So I retied them again. 

Me: "How are they now?"

 K: "They're too tight." 

We went with a different pair of shoes.... :\

 

Spring Break!!

Just wanted to pop in a wish everyone a Happy Easter this weekend. We will be heading to the beautiful North Carolina mountains tomorrow to spend spring break there. We'll be able to escape a lot of this unseasonably warm weather we're having, at least for a little while.

I took a picture of this little white clover I picked from the yard. Even though they're considered weeds, I still think they're pretty. Upon close observation, it's really a beautiful little flower with interesting petals. And the fragrance is so very sweet! It never fails to take me back to my childhood...lying in the grass looking up at sky with the sweet smell of clover all around me. It's a happy memory. :)

I hope you all have a glorious weekend and that you all make some happy memories.

Until next time....Happy Spring Break!
