The Birds - A New Listing on Etsy

Here is a new jewelry listing. I just love the new modern look of the sterling silver bird silhouette. Made a pair for myself and I wear them all the time :)

The Dahlia - My newest listing on etsy

Here is my newest listing on etsy. I painted it because of my love of flowers and in this case intense beautiful colors. I was also inspired by this item http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26149873 I found by a very talented artist also on etsy.

I thought that it was a photograph of a dahlia when I saw her on twitter but ends up it is not. Take a look at it and her shop, you will be amazed.

5. Wow this is amazing ... I would love to have a couple of these ... if it wasn't so windy where I live or if I didn't have little grabbing fingers always looking to tear things ... they would so be living with me :)

Wednesdays Top Five

So I decided to try to do a weekly post based on the idea that "you made it past the hump day in the week you deserve something for yourself". I will post 5 beautiful items from etsy shops as a gift for making it half way through the week - come on you know you deserve it (hugs)

1. This first one I picked ... well probably because I am so tired and it looks just perfect right now :)

2. This one just sounds so decadent and amazing.

4. This is a beautiful necklace

Enjoy and congratulations on making it more than half way through the week, it is all down hill from here :)
