Blue

New to my shop is this long, linked, necklace of vintage glass beads and oxidized sterling silver.  I love the deep turquoise blue combined with the creamy tan faceted beads.  The little, matte finish, accent beads have a sort of animal print feeling to them so the whole thing feels like a country outing or a day on safari.  

I like it worn long with my agate pendant necklace.

this still holds true:

Earthbound, a necklace.

I am earthbound, but I dream of water. 

This necklace is composed of the earth: malachite, turquoise, quartz and metal. All unearthed, hunted as it were, from below. The rough, cold, facets of the quartz beads gleam in contrast to the opaque stone shapes. Linked on 14/20 gold-filled wire and chain with a vintage brass buckle pendant.

Have a good weekend.

Other birds, creatures that I don't see enough.

On a recent trip to Florida, to sail with my Dad, I was able to spend some time with one of my favorite creatures.  Pelicans.  They amuse, they amaze me.  Someday I too will fly effortlessly just above the waves - out to sea.  Nothing will stop me.

Seven mile bridge.  We crossed this bridge everyday on our way to "sailing school", in Marathon.  We sailed under the bridge twice - it was an adventure!

I find the horizon of blue-green water to be soothing and reassuring.

At sail.  At last.

(and alas, no more)

Because I am so fond of ocean waters I have a charm necklace to keep what I hold dear close to my heart.  

This one might bring you joy.

Spring things

There are two color stories going on right now.  The bright reds, corals, blues and greens of resort wear and the cool, sweet colors of spring.  I love them both.  These earrings have that not-yet-warm feeling to them.  They are sultry in every way, and full of hope.

OH joy! (I'm going sailing)

It's true!  I am going to sailing school with my Dad.  *thrilled*  


So to celebrate, I am offering free shipping in my Etsy shop for the rest of January.  I will close the shop for the first half of February - I can't ship from a sailboat!

Vacation time is here.  We all need to get away - I so hope that I will have to chance to sit on a beach in the sun.  These earrings will look so good with your swimsuit and floppy hat.
