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!

Shades of orange

A necklace I created ...I call it Eve.

My bright orange Le Creuset cooking pot. I bought that at a Garage Sale 15 years ago for $5.00! Love it!

Sweet chili pepper plant! So festive and sweet to eat!

My favorite glass lamp shade my husband gave me .

Today I'm inspired by the fabulous color of orange! I love this color and all of it's shades. I 've taken some photos around the home to share with you my inspirations! The image above is an old olive jar that I have and I love to put flowers in it. These were actually fresh burnt orange colored roses which are now dry and I love them..Enjoy and Happy Wednesday!

It's me .....I'm back!

Oh my! I's been just about 2 months since I last bloggged! I've been a very bad blogger. I'm so sorry. I appreciate all of you comments and well wishes. Everything is good! I've just been really busy with life. I'm really going to try to keep updating so please do keep stopping by to see what's new! I'm pleased to say my Etsy shop is doing well! Thrilled I must say! The editor of the magazine Jewelry Affaire contacted me awhile ago to send in some of my jewelry to possibly be in their Fall issue. So I did and they liked it! I'm in the October issue! I'm so excited to be published in a magazine!! I'm asking all my family and friends to pick up a copy and place it on their coffee tables! Lol! Anyways,just thought I would share that with you. It will be sold at Michaels and Borders as far as I know. As soon as it's out I'm sure I will show you all!

Fall is slowly but surely upon us! My favorite time of year! I've been creating these whimsy owl necklaces that are a definite statement for the Fall! Enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous weekend!

A beautiful day!

Just clipped some fresh cuttings from my yard. A little of this and that and put it in one if my favorite pitchers. It's a perfect day to be on the porch just relaxing!Hubby is not home from work yet but thought I would have a little something waiting for him when he comes home!

Such a pretty Sunday afternoon! The kids are all at the neighborhood pool and I'm sitting here wearing one of my latest creations. I call this necklace "Stella"! Not sure why? It's tough coming up with names for items! I love the way it came out. It's pretty unique. This can be found in my etsy shop!

Lol! Yes ...I am wearing clothes too! In case any of you were thinking I wasn't! Just wanted to blog about this beautiful day and wish you all the same!

Feeling blue????

Marcela has invited me and everyone to join the blue blog party today! I just love the color blue!

It is definately a favorite of mine! I love all shades of it! I have to admit I love the robin's egg blues and baby blues....Oh and the aqua blues! It's such a pretty color! I was at the local nursery to see what's new for Spring and Summer planting ideas and blue is everywhere!

The pottery is overflowing in all shades of blue! It's really beautiful with the contrast of flowers and shrubs!
I spotted a favorite flower of mine! The blue delphinium. I've tried twice to grow this flower and have not succeeded. I'm not sure if it's the climate I live in or my brown thumb!
I love this color so much I tend to create with it a lot! I create many necklaces with the color blue! This necklace I call Butterfly Kisses is in my Etsy shop right now! Among other inspired blue necklaces!

So if you are in a blue mood today check out........

Any guesses where I went???

Let me just say it's good to get away! Just for a little bit can change your spirit.

Sunrise and a room with a view.

Not just one sea turtle....

But two! Lol!

Palm trees.

Fresh ocean breezes! It's about a 6 hour drive from where I live! It's Amelia Island! We enjoyed ourselves. Thank you for all the lovely comments about me going on vacation post!Just a small break but good enough for rest and relaxation! I'm back now and I even made a necklace. I was inspired by all the blue!This is called Mystic Blue! It can be found in my Lollishop.

This is what I call Spring Fling

This is one of my latest jewelry creations. I had fun with this one! I had a vision when I saw some of these vintage pieces at the flea market on Friday. I love these colors. I'm always drawn to blue enamel pieces. I think it's so fun , artsy and fresh for Spring. I think the name Spring Fling is very fitting. I have this one listed in my Etsy shop.Yesterday I took this picture and it was so pretty outside. The sky was clear blue. The buds are really blooming on the trees.

This is a picture under my cherry blossom tree. I just love this tree!The blooms are spectacular! Soon the dogwoods will be in bloom too. Those are beautiful trees also!Anyways I wanted to share my Spring Fling and wishing you all a happy day!
