The Mystic Peacock
I've always been fascinated by peacocks.
When I was a young girl, my sister and I used to go to visit my grandmother in York, England for a couple of weeks each summer. One of the highlights of visiting, would be the day trip to the York Museum Gardens. Back then, there were peacocks walking free all around the gardens and my sister and I used to hunt for stray peacock feathers that were lying around.
In retrospect, it probably wasn't very higienic but we used to ride home on the train with "Granny" with several peacock feathers that we would put in a vase in her living room.
My love of peacocks has never faded and so I found myself looking for unique peacock themed items on Etsy.
Look at the marvelous treasures I found!

Colors of the Ocean
Yesterday I felt like working with blues and greens and turquoises. I got out all my supply boxes (and there are a lot) and started working on an asymmetrical necklace using all these colors plus sterling silver. I had this lovely sterling silver square link that I've been waiting to use so I incorporated that into the design also. I love the finished product as the colors are so fresh!

Hey it's February!
Valentines day is just around the corner and I have some lovely items that you can purchase either for your loved one or why not for yourself. It's not as if you can't wear them any time of the year.
Everyone in the household has the sniffles today so it's a hot drink and warm fuzzy pj day!

Finished!
Well, I finally got around to finishing the bracelet I was in the process of completing on Monday. I love the way it turned out. I now have to decide whether to sell this one or keep it for myself. Maybe I'l make another and sell one of them! Otherwise, It's snowy day here today so I'm experimenting with a light box that I made yesterday.
