Another treasury?  Really?  This has been a good week!  I'm so very flattered to be included in this absolutely delicious collection of artists in a treasury so beautiful I think it would look lovely hanging on a wall.  Jessica and Susan of Inedible Jewelry are the curators of this fantastic collection in the most gorgeous, spicy shades. Glass Panic's gorgeous, iridescent amber, ca. 1970, Kings Crown glass compote reminds me of a piece of my grandmother's that absolutely fascinated me.  It resided on the "DO NOT TOUCH" etagere that as a child, took every ounce of discipline for me to resist. ...

I have so many new pieces, but have struggled to find the time between trunk shows and wholesale orders to do take and edit photos, add new pages and code the shopping cart keys.

So many new items......

It's been SO BUSY here lately!  I swear, sometimes I don't know if I'm coming or going, but that's a good thing, right?In the midst of whipping out new designs (photos to come!), taking photos (of course), updating my website, working on interviews and packing up for trunk shows, I received a lovely convo from BabyToGo from Etsy advising me that she'd used a pair of my earrings for her beautiful caramel-colored treasury entitled Wild Sand.   With temperatures over 100 degrees in Austin this week, these colors make me long for autumn!!  I love the one-of-a-kind millefiori necklace of...
