I haven't blogged in so long, it's embarrassing to just start out with someone else's photo - but I LOVE these!
I thought about starting a new blog & just deleting my current blog, but then, I would have to start all over again (and what a pain that would be - not to mention, if THAT would ever happen- LOL) - so here I am again, posting - but about someone else gorgeous silver bejeweled pieces.
Ok, so now I broke the ice (with a new post, I'll post what I am working on this week)... and so much has happened in my little jewelry studio.... I promise LOTS of photos this week!
Below: This is Luke - Just before our swim meet - (notice the # on his arm) - but he forgot his swim team swin trunks, as usual!! :-P
Here is my DH, holding our friend's newly adopted baby, Keeley. She's from China! She is always smiling - at least always smiling at the pool. She is soooo sweet!!
Last weekend I decided at the last possible minute to go to the flea market, here in Raleigh. Pretty much everyone had closed up, but one lady that I always see & buy things from, she was still there. I found several vintage earring sets, just waiting to be re-purposed into something (not yet determined)... and this faded aqua rose pin. I worked on that piece last weekend & made it into a necklace.
Here are just more pieces of things I'm working on & flea market finds!
Here are just MORE crystals ~ intersperced with other things I am working on... yummy!!
This is a gorgeous hydranga given to me by a friend... she surprised me & left it on my front porch. DH & I planted it last weekend. I am determined NOT to let this die on me! Last summer, in the drought, I lost 2 hydranga bushes, 2 azelea bushes and a gardenia bush. I am going to try really hard to keep it watered. Don't you just love this color!
