I've been really busy lately making stock for two local stores where I'm selling my jewelry. I spent most of Sunday photographing many of the new pieces and have started adding a few to my online shop.

Here they are....

It's Scarf Time!

We had a glorious sunny day here yesterday but there was still a noticeable nip in the air. I realized I need to get out my winter woolies soon. I love going for a daily walk but keeping my neck warm is crucial - I hate being cold!

On that note, here's a lovely, varied selection of winter scarves found browsing on Etsy.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends out there. I hope you have a safe, fun, family-filled day! I think we may head off for a hike to see some Fall colors..they're glorious right now.

Turquoise

Sometimes I buy beads and immediately know what I'd like to make with them but then they sit in my office for months while I'm kept busy with other projects. In March I bought these lovely turquoise beads. They are little cubes and I knew as soon as I saw them that I wanted to weave them into a cuff bracelet.

Well the other day I decided to plonk myself down in front of the TV and watch a Harry Potter movie (I love them). Not being able to sit still for too long, I immediately began rifling through my beads to find something to make and my eyes settled on these turquoise beads.

So a couple of hours later, I finally had my bracelet made - it only took me about seven months to get my act together!

I hope you like the final product... here it is.

Canadian Thanksgiving and the Great Pumpkin

This coming weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving. I can't believe it's crept up on us so quickly. I decided to feature some lovely "pumpkin" finds. I was in the grocery store this morning and bought a selection of miniature pumpkins and gourds to decorate the dining room table.
