Les Petite Papillons

Les Petit Papillons
is my favorite bracelet of all time.
It is constructed of Swarovski crystal and sterling silver.
I have worn it daily since the day I made it -
I even wear it swimming and in the shower.
It never comes off.
I've been playing catch up lately and finally have a bracelet left over to put in my
Etsy shop.

Earrings are soon to come!

Sand Flowers


The Sand Flower Ring is the result of my dreaming of the beach this weekend.
If it's going to be this hot, one should at least have an ocean nearby!
I wanted to do something creative, but simple.
It's just too hot to think!
I think Sand Flower will be absolutely indispensable for beach strolling!
The ring will be in my Etsy shop in just a few minutes.
It is available in any size you specify.

Tasha Tudor


I am always behind in hearing the news and this time I almost wish I hadn't heard.
Tasha Tudor died on June 18 2008 at the age of 92.
I have had several opportunities to meet her, but, alas, I kept putting it off.
Now it's too late.
I will always regret not meeting this fascinating woman.
My deepest sympathies go to her beloved family.

Indian Rocks


Our small farm consists of 10 acres in what used to be Cherokee land.
Over the many years of plowing that has been done on our land,
most of the arrowheads and other artifacts have been scavenged.
When we began building our home in 2000, we found these two
'Indian rocks'.
We assume that they were used as a mortar and pestle.
We found one other pestle, but it wasn't as well shaped as this one.
We have yet to find the mortar, but we keep searching.
These finds keep me dreaming of days gone by and
legends of the people who came before us.

More New Babies!


The horses in the field next to us have all had babies.
This one is about a month old.
What a joy to live in the country!
