I'm not really ready to accept the deeper colors and richer feeling of fall--there are still so many warm days reading out by the pool to enjoy.

August Garden in Connecticut
There's plenty of color in the final months of my garden's bloom. Over the next week I'll document a few of my favorite blooms and the jewelry they inspire...

Halloween Bouquet
I don't often incorporate orange into my decor, but went with the spirit of the weekend... store bought green mums and peachy orange tulips with sprigs of lace leaf maple from the garden and some lacey green plant from the woods. It's better than candy!

Fuss Creations for the New Year, Client Inspirations and a Slow Cooked Meal...
I'm making a concerted effort to round out the Fuss Collections and get my creations into more stores and boutiques this year. One addition to my collections came from one of you! A client recently ordered my "This cloud not only has a silver lining" necklace with the smaller silver berries hoops and asked about a gold fill version. I've offered the golden berries hoops for some time, but just added a "Golden Cloud" necklace today.
Another client had previously ordered my simple pearl flower drop earrings in gold fill (I am currently out and waiting to restock the pearls when I travel to Tucson Feb 3-5). She requested one of my favorite flower necklaces with clusters of pearls to either side rather than gray moonstone--I think the result is perfectly lovely! She is wearing it to her wedding which is always especially meaningful to me! She is going to send pictures this summer and maybe I'll ger her permission to post them here.
After remaking some pieces for one of my local boutiques, I couldn't resist photographing the jewels in a grouping.
I think these photos will work well in promotional mailings that I'll send out this year.
And I'll close with a tasty eyeful. I snagged a Williams Sonoma Slow Cooking book from my parent's house a few months back and have started trying out some of the recipes. With the kids' varied sports schedules, it is fairly rare that we are all home at the same time for dinner. So a meal that can simmer and stay warm for anyone to grab when they are able is ideal. My first dish attempt was Chicken Korma--delish! It is recommended to be served with rice, but I put out some couscous. And I myself, ate it alone like a soup or stew---amazing! I plan to add more onions and maybe diced bell peppers next time to add more veggies.
This is a shot during the first phase, combining the spices and onions and getting them all nicely aromatic in a saucepan before adding to the crock pot with chicken broth, tomato sauce and chicken. The last step was my favorite--during the last 15 minutes of cooking you add a slurry of buttermilk and crushed pecans to thicken.
And keep the entries coming for my Valentine Giveaway! Post a comment here to be entered:

Summer Fun
This past weekend I brough the camera out to the front yard to capture the kids on the swing--amazing fun.
Our property only has one tree of substantial size as it used to be cleared farmland. We had the tree doctors out several years ago to trim what needed trimming and they added metal braces for extra support to some of the larger branches. My hubby climbed out on a high limb and added this simple tree swing and it is loads of fun for swinging.
Effortlessly flying through the air--just be careful and hold on...
I've spent the last couple of weeks in a metalwork class at the high school and learned a lot. I hope one day (maybe next year) after I've had lots of practice, to incorporate bezel setting and soldering into my work. Here is my first, quite imperfect creation:
And added to the shop this week:
Signing off!

Heather Earrings featured in Bridal Guide Magazine
My Heather Earrings are featured in the Sept/Oct issue of Bridal Guide Magazine. They are featuring jewelry with silver/gray pearls. A clipping of the magazine page is below:
The earrings are composed of white topaz, silver freshwater pearls and either gold fill or 14K gold wire. They are available on my newly renovated website here or on my etsy site as well.
Please checkout the new layout and design of my site. I switched to a web design vehicle that is MUCH easier for me to keep updated and current.
...and that is my goal for this blog as well--more frequent posts! I plan to start a series of posts that pair my jewelry with gorgeous designer clothes--"dream pairings "if you will!
