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!

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!

Under The Sea

Just got back from vacation. I wasn't exactly "under the sea" but by the sea! It was hot but the salty breezy air felt good! Summer is going well....flying by already. I thought I would share some pictures of my trip by the sea.

Enjoy!

Bee Still.......

Some images I captured of buzzing bees on my lavender. My lavender actually looks good! It came back and is thriving! Some of the plants have parts that are dead though and I'm not sure what to do about it. Do I cut the bad part out? I'm so afraid the whole plant will actually die. I know I need to cut the stalks back after they have bloomed but if you know what to do about the bad dead let me know. My new puppy Stanley just loves going to these plants and watching all of the bees on it! Oh what fun! Have a fabulous weekend!

Meet Stanley

Wow...It's been awhile since my last blog! So sorry I haven't been around. I've been really busy with our new puppy and all the end of the school activities with the kids. Summer is here at our house!{not officially but with the kids out of school} it is to me. So....Stanley is 9 weeks old. We got him 2 weeks ago for a surprise for one of my daughter's birthday. It's the family dog but a surprise it was because she was out of town when we got him. He's super sweet! He is an English Springer Spaniel. My neighbors got one a few months ago and I fell in love with dog. Anyways, here he is! I'm a little sleep deprived but not too much. It's summer so I'll catch up...and The kids will help me. Ha! Not as much as I thought. At least not the night time potty time. It's just me and Stanley! What do you think of his name? We went through so many and came up with this one. We think he looks like a Stanley. Well,just checking in and letting you all know I've just been busy. I'm off to check and see everyone. Happy Memorial Weekend!
