Honey be mine.......

How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey all the day
From every opening flower.

Where my creations begin.....

Take a peek into my studio. This is actually our dining room that I took over.

We pretty much entertain in our kitchen.If by chance we need to entertain there

 I can move my stuff and put a table cloth over the table and  "Voila"! All the jewels and beads that I use

are what you see. Do you think I have enough? The answer is No! I'm a beadaholic and vintage findings junkie! I love the hunt for jewels. I'm thinking about downloading this make it yourself banner for Halloween and putting it in the window. You can find this one and many more beautiful printable images at lovecreationgal on Etsy.

So this is where I spend my time creating jewelry for my shop. Have a fabulous weekend!

A new creation

I've been inspired by the freezing cold temps. Actually, I'm always inspired by vintage and antique decor,clothing and jewelry. It is just my style. I love this layered look. I think it has such a unique and classic look that can be worn dressed up or down. It is a conversation piece that makes a statement about the person who wears it! I call this the Signature Trudy necklace. I hope you all are staying warm and wish you a happy day!

Ooo La La

Hot Summer days are upon us here! I've been really behind on my posting. So sorry. It's just these lazy Summer days where I'm finding it hard to be inspired. Dinner is really hard! I can't figure out what to cook because it's so hot and I really don't feel like cooking and my family ends up eating something not too healthy. Ugh! I'm inspired today though and I wanted to show you all some new rings I have created. I call them French Artsy Rings. They are really fun and look really nice on the finger too! So this is a good thing. My next step is making my family a home cooked meal this evening! Wishing you all a lovely day!

A sweet swap from Nada Farm

If you have not been by to see my friend Ann Marie from Na Da Farm..... you must! She is one of the best bloggers out there in my opinion! One day she poppped on by with a sweet hello and we quickly became friends! We decided to do a swap one day and she would make me a skirt and I make her a necklace. She knows I love Anthropologie and makes her own clothing similar in style( a bit bohemian,artsy,comfortable!)She showed me the style skirt and told me to pick my fabric colors. So I did and this is the finished product!!! I love it! The above tag was tied on the beautiful package.

The sweet smell of lavender tucked inside the tied fabric!

Well here I am striking a pose! The colors are perfect for me! Fall colors which I love!

It even goes perfect with my funky yellow shoes! I would like to thank Ann Marie for the time she took to make me this awesome skirt! I forgot to take pictures of what I sent her so please do stop by her lovely blog! You will be hooked! She is an inspiration to all and maybe if you are lucky she will do a swap with you! http://www.nadafarmlife.blogspot.com/
