Merry Christmas and Happy New year!!
Here is our 13 foot tree! It is so beautiful at nite! I hope you had a great Christmas. I had my family over to our house for this joyous event. We celebrated and enjoyed one another's company. I am looking forward to 2009- a year of new designs, inspirations and new adventures! Happy New Year!

I just posted a new item in my etsy shop! It's always exciting to be able to show the world a new item that I have created! This is a fabulous Dragonfly necklace. It is quite lovely, if I must say so. The beads are picture jasper, which I just love. It's amazing how rocks can be so beautiful. I like to look at them wonder what experiences they have seen time go through. Did a dinasour walk over them? Did these gems ever have contact with ancient people before they were plucked from their last resting place? It really gives them character and makes me feel special when I wear them. The dragonfly pendant is made from pewter which I just love. It has a nice luster to it. This pewter is lead free. Please stop by shop to check out more photos of this necklace.

Real Pottery Lover

I want to share a photo I was able to snap of a little four legged friend of mine. I caught my 'lil fluffy tailed friend lounging in non other than a bowl thrown by Michael Cho. Now this is what I call a real pottery fan! He really seems quite at home, doesn't he? See how he admires the fine technique used to throw this beautiful bowl? He really appreciates how the colors of the glazes blend together. Yup, he is definitely a real pottery lover!

Well, I Did it!

Here Ye, Here Ye,


I did it! I have started to fall in line with the rest of Americans and started to blog. While I'm not really sure anyone really wants to read my mutterings, I'm sure folks will at least like my photos. Who doesn't flip through a book and just look at all the pretty pictures? It's easy, painless and the colors are pretty!

I have been enjoying the beautiful fall weather we have been having in upstate New York. Here is a photo of an apple picking excursion that I ventured out on not too long ago. The apples were tasty and the fall colors were fab! Who doesn't love fall in New York?
