Time for a Giveaway!!

Monday, September 29th, 2008

I have been working on some new jewelry designs for earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. The line still needs to go through a few more stages, the next stage is plating. The findings I use come in raw brass and need to be plated, a process I send out for because it is impossible for me to do. Here are some picture of the pieces I am using:

The next picture is really horrible, the soldering really distorts the color.

So here are the rules for the giveaway:
Leave a comment listing your top three favorite colors to wear.
Contest ends October 30th. I am hoping to have the line finished before then but sometimes I run into delays with the plater and supplies.
I will anounce the winner November 1st. The winner will recieve a pair of earrings, a necklace, and a bracelet from my new line.

Autumn Open House Coming Soon!

openhouse1.jpg Oh Yeah! I love autumn, it is also my daughters name! Please join us for an open house to see our homes decorated with the delights of the season. Go here to Deena’s Story for more information. I think I’ll do a giveaway around then too with some handmade autumn goods. I’d better get cleaning, creating, and decorating.

Harvest Home

Love the autumn season and decorating for it. I thought I would post a few ideas on using the rose pins for home decor. Baskets are easy to come by and to decorate. I was hoping to get some gourds and mini pumpkins for the basket but they are not in stores yet, at least around my neck of the woods. I have had this berry pick for years, this was the only decent branch worth breaking off and using.

I used some cookie cutter as a template for the leaves and traced them over vintage text book paper.

September 12-14, I am adding a stash of vintage style seam binding and a few vintage paper leaves with every purchase. A bounty of harvest colors just added to my shop.

Sachet’s

Friday, September 5th, 2008

I love sachet’s but wanted to do a twist on them since most end up in a drawer tucked away. I found various parfait glasses and milk glass and I have a truck load of fabric. I had Patricia Rose blend together some signature scents for me.

These are so pretty sitting on dresser or hutch.
