A New Etsy Shop!!

I know that it has been quite a while since I last posted but there is a very good reason.

I have been hard at work on a brand new Etsy shop!

I am so happy to announce Golden Apple Jewelry!

It's an ecclectic mix of new and vintage pieces.

I am so excited about it.

Here is a small sampling with lots more to come!

Pride And Prejudice

The charming and romantic Mr. Darcy and Ms. Elizabeth Bennet have made their way to my shop.

You can find them right here.

A New Necklace

My latest necklace available here.

A Little Moby Dick And Dracula

Two new silhouettes have made their home in my shop!

These were inspired by characters from classic novels. The silhouettes are filled with some of my favorite quotes from their books.

Above is Ishmael from Moby Dick and below is Count Dracula, himself, from Dracula.

You can find them right here.

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.

New Nautical Silhouette!

 Here is the latest silhouette addition to my nautical family. It's available as a print and as an original. You can find it here.



More Natural History

A few more little jewels of natural history.

You can find them here.

The Captain's Wife

My latest silhouette, The Captain's Wife.

You can find her right here.

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!

My brand new notecards!

Available as a single card or a set of four.

Find them right here in my shop.

Unusual Pictures

I have a mad love for unusual old black and white photos. I was beside myself with joy when I recently stumbled on Black and WTF . Such a treaure trove! I could have spent all day looking through them. Here are a choice few.

This is so Stanley Kubrick's The Shining.

A Wealth of Words Necklaces!

My lastest necklaces featuring my favorite snippets of poems and stories.

Movies To See

Heidi from My Paper Crane made a wonderful list of movies she wants to see. I borrowed a few that look just wonderful.

A Little Animation

Radio Songs

I'm not much of a radio listener, except for NPR. I prefer to listen to my favorite songs on CD or from trusty old YouTube. But every now and then a song will catch me and I can't stop singing it. Here are a few that I've found recently.

Alice Originals

Three of my Alice in Wonderland series are now available as original handcut papercuts.
