An Adventure

This latest print is a bit of inspiration to hang on your wall.

It's my favorite new phrase and a good way to look at challenges and new events in your life.

This print is (quite affordably) available in my shop.

Jewels Of Natural History

Are you a nature lover? A history lover? Do dusty, cloth-bound tomes and dictionaries call to you? Can you sit in a quiet corner of a museum and lose yourself in the dimly lit dioramas? Then these necklaces are just for you. A page out of natural history to wear close to your heart.
Available right here.

Sail Away

Be the captain of your own ship with this lovely necklace.
A ship in full sail glides across the blue ocean. A delicate anchor is waiting, should you need it.
It's right here in my shop.

A New Necklace

This is, in my mind, the most memorable quote from Bram Stoker's Dracula. "For the dead travel fast." Now you can keep these words close to your heart. It is paired with a small cross to keep your delicate neck safe in the darkest hours of the night.
Available here in my shop.

The Tame Fox

In the classic tale The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, the fox tells the Little Prince "If you tame me, it will be as if the sun came to shine on my life." Now you can keep these words close to your heart. An enticement, perhaps? Or a promise . . .

Paired with the pendant is a very elegant fox with soulful eyes.

My latest necklace.

Available here.

Tag! You're It!

Down The Rabbit Hole

I am so very excited to share my newest series. It has been a while in the making and so much fun!

It is my own take on Alice in Wonderland and I've imagined it rather differently than the original illustrations.

Here is my cast of characters...

The White Rabbit
The Mad Hatter and a Dormouse or two.

The Queen of Hearts
The Cheshire Cat
Tweedledee and Tweedledum

The Five of Spades

They are all available in my shop.

Invite them home for a little bit of Wonderland that's all your own.

More New Necklaces!

I've added four new necklaces to my shop!

I'm particularly pleased with the little Alice in Wonderland playing croquet.

Right In The Kisser

All my life I have been allergic to any kind of lip make-up. I've never been able to wear lipstick, lipliner, lip gloss or even chapstick.
But the other day on Etsy I noticed some natural lip gloss made by Just Pure Minerals. It's made with all natural ingredients so I decided to give it a try.
It is amazing!
Not only did I not have any allergic reactions, the lip gloss is wonderful.
It's rich and shiny and a touch of mint makes it cool and fresh.
I can't reccomend it highly enough and I can't wait to try more!

Hoolala Hoopla

The Etsy shop Hoolala is filled with absolutely delightful jewelry.

That anchor necklace at the top should be mine.
