see, I do follow my own advice

Want to see a few more pictures from my wedding?
I’ve talked about my collection of vintage porcelain pins before…
And how to stop strapless sandals from flapping as you wear them…
I think I’ve even mentioned that I love designing jewelry?
Here it is in action :-)

our wedding

I’m back!
Did you miss me?
Want to see what happened this weekend?

This is me, getting ready at my parents house - and yes, I did sew my dress myself :-)

The shawl that my mom crocheted for me (after hand-spinning the silk for it!)

My parents walking me down the aisle, and yes, my dad is wearing a […]

fresh water pearls wedding necklace

I’ve been a little nervous about starting my wedding necklace, even though the matching earrings worked great :-)
I knew what I wanted to do - several strands of free-floating pearls, in different sizes.  I was just nervous about screwing it up!  I finally bucked up the courage last night and made the necklace:

I used flexible […]

fresh water pearl earrings

One of the perks about being a jewelry & accessories designer is that I get to make my own completely one-of-a-kind accessories… as long as I have time :-)
This is my latest project, although not the best photo of them:

I wanted to wear fresh water pearl jewelry for my wedding & this is what I’ve […]

what I did on my vacation

Okay, so with a title like that I really should be using lined paper & crayons :-)  I managed to sneak away for a couple of days with my fiance and relax!
Well, as relaxed as you can get when you’re camping with three dogs and a parrot.
Want to see where we went?

Yes, it was hot.  […]

cheerful accessories

I’ve had a challenging month… my grandmother passed away, and yesterday, I had to put my elderly, but much beloved mare to sleep.
I definitely need something to cheer me up!  I thought I’d concentrate on “happy accessories” today.
To start things off, here’s a purse that even has happy in it’s name!

This is the “Happy Polka […]

I’ve been busy today

I finally got some new photos done of my portfolios & evening bags!  It’s one of those jobs that always seems to take three times longer than I think it should.
Want to see what I did?

This is my large “Gypsy” portfolio.

And my small “Gypsy” portfolio.
I think it’s time for a break from the computer now […]

I’m back (with pretty jewelery!)

Thank you all for your kind comments :-)  It’s been a busy, busy week!  My brother got married this Saturday and so the weekend has been filled with all kinds of fun, just not a lot of time for blogging.
I used to have a necklace almost identical to this one:

I’m not sure what happened to […]

no fair

I’m still looking for my perfect pair of “wedding” shoes.  I’ve got a pair of cream satin ballet flats that are close, but not exactly, wonderfully perfect.
I saw this pair this afternoon.

And tried them on….
And got the clerk to phone around and see if there was a larger pair in the city.
Nope.
Oh blast!  I really […]

what’s inside my bag

Okay, so I didn’t feel the need to share the week’s worth of receipts & the package of slightly squashed kleenex (that’s what happens when your dog sits on your purse!)  but even with some slight editing - here you go:

First of all, the purse is one of my own designs (it’s a perk of […]
