Through all of the holiday hustle and bustle and Christmas joy it's still not hard for me to find time to create! Here's my latest necklace. It's something simple yet elegant...Made with real freshwater pearls and antique bronze findings...Feel free to email me if interested....ENJOY!!!

Only 2 left!

The windows ended up being a GREAT success and I only have two left!!!! Here are pictures of the last two available...WHEW!

Geaux Saints!!

I have new Saints jewelry to share with lifelong SAINTS fans or my growing list of bandwagon friends! How awesome is it that our home-state football team has the best chance they've EVER had to play in the SUPER BOWL??? Although I have owned a SAINTS t-shirt for over 2 years now I will admit that I haven't been as excited to watch a Saint's game as I am to watch them play the Dallas Cowboys tonight!! Bandwagon fan or not, we shouldn't feel bad to cheer on our SAINTS!! I've definitly made a set for myself for the game tonight...ENJOY!!!! :)

This necklace is antique bronze and VERY light weight. Perfect for cheering on your favorite football team!

These earrings match perfect with the necklace!

Vintage Inspired

Every now and then some of the places I order beads from will send me free samples of jewelry findings from their shop. And I loooooooooove FREE stuff! One shop sent me this antique style filigree wrap, but I put it to the side having NO CLUE what to do with it. I recently decided to use the piece to make a necklace and this is what I came up with! I'm not sure what the actual use of this metal wrap is, but I was so smittened by the final product I ordered more peices to make more necklaces!!!!!!!

Flower Necklace

I was honored to be a part of Lindsay and Derek Blacksher's wedding last weekend! Lindsay is my great friend, was my track teammate, and college roommate. Their wedding was full of nothing but TRUE LOVE!! I am so lucky to have Lindsay and Derek in my life and can't wait to make many more memories together! Anyway, I had my bridesmaid dress cut short in hopes to wear it again in the future!! I wanted to make some kind of necklace with the extra fabric for Lindsay to have as a keepsake, and came up with this! I have so much more fabric so I decided to keep going and make as many as I could to share with anyone else!! The necklace is made with real freshwater pearls and the flower was cut from brown taffeta.

I heart Christmas!!!!

CHRISTMAS...Where do I begin?? I absolutely LOVE everything about Christmas and the holiday season. Besides it being the birthday of Jesus Christ, there are many reasons this time of year brings me so much JOY!

I LOVE giving! I don't have much to give, but it makes my heart warm knowing I am able to put smiles on faces through giving. I LOVE spending time shopping, baking cookies, drinking hot apple cider, and laughing with close family and friends! I absolutely LOVE wrapping gifts and my favorite color is RED! Although my parent's tree is FAKE, I LOVE the smell of a real Christmas tree in the house (one day I will be able to get my own real tree)!

I could go on and on about why this time of year makes me extremely happy, but I will stop there. :o) The main thing I realize is that I am BLESSED! I live the most blessed life I could ever ask for! I'm not sure why He chose me, but God has provided me with way more than I deserve.

Through all of this JOY I'm feeling I came up with my first pair of GREAT holiday earrings...They are a semi precious garnet stone with antique copper findings. Stay tuned because I promise with all of this JOY inside of me there will be many more earrings!
