The Beauty of Spring

While on a hike in Rainbow the other day,

I captured some great photos of fresh

SPRING IN BLOOM

I just love this time of year when all the native flowers

and fruit tree blooms are so fresh and new.

 

A sweet bloom from my Plum tree

&

When I saw this mushroom, I so wished there was a 

sweet little froggy taking shelter from the sun.

That's ok though, it was still a treasure to find.

Some great moss growing on a sheet of rock

on my lower property

These red flowers blooms are so vibrant

Amazing Sunsets of the New Year!

The colors of the Sunsets have been so intense these days!!

  

 

  

Amazing or what?

Thank You Vintaj.♥

So I was checking my email yesterday and to my surprise 

I received a special note from Vintaj

(my brass supplier)

Thanking me for using their products in my designs 

and that they are featuring one of my bracelets

in their COOL FINDS...

The gals there must have searched
high and low through

etsy to find this piece.

I am very THANKFUL!!!

I have been creating jewelry for several
years  and used to only use silver,

but since I've found Vintaj Brass,
I haven't touched my silver.

They've got me hooked.  Thank You Vintaj!!!

INCREDIBLE!

Did anyone happen to see this Sunset on November 10th?

Every evening that I'm at home, I look out my front porch to see the sunset.

Some evenings it is overcast, others there's not much depth to the sunset,

& then there's evenings like this.

 

It's just absolutely amazing how, for such a brief period of time,

  

 the sky can transform into a beautiful piece of art

 

and then as quickly as it appears, it is erased!

Oh My Buttons!!

So, I found the cutest sweater the other day
that had a button missing.

Well, I still couldn't pass it up so I bought it,
and in the middle of the night

(that's usually when all my great ideas hit me
and I can't get back to sleep)

I woke up thinking,

"I can make some cool buttons for my new sweater!!" 

So the next day, I started creating.

Here's a few of what I have so far...
