Thankful Thursday






When I get to the end of my week and it's been a wee bit disastrous and even more burdened with fears, desires, and undone "things"...I continue to be thankful. I remember that it isn't so bad and it could be a hell of a lot worse.

I am thankful.
I hope you are too.

Much Love,
xoxo

Unconfined



It was a moment when I hung on to long,
A time when I said goodbye, but didn't really mean too.

Then it kicks in & starts again and I am evicted from my soul,
searching, soaring...I cannot escape it.

It's an unmovable force - Breath.

Lunge.

Move.

Run.

As far as possible for the fear of never seeing your face again is what I MUST accept.

It is in that moment when I realize I had the only part that ever mattered.

And in that moment I am no longer confined.

I fly, I rise high above.

And I will not break in two.

It's that moment of unconfined magic space.

I breath.

Run.

Lunge.

Move.

Unconfined.


Night,
xoxo

Father's Day Finds & New Designs


 Good evening!
 I wanted to quickly share a few items from my shop with you & let you know about new items and soon to be discontinued items. 
The Men's Necklace Line will be discontinued in June, after Father's Day. Currently I have all men's necklaces on sale in my shop in "SALE" section. If you know a man who would love to wear a handmade necklace then be sure to check them out. Each one comes with a write up on the symbolism and gemstones used in designing them.


Brand new flower rings are ready. I am just listing all of these pretties in my shop this week. These floral rings are ideal for bridesmaids and the Shabby Chic Wedding. They are also perfect for a new Mom, teens, Graduations, or a must have summer accessory item.


Pretty Flower & Leaf Earring Set
Perfect for an Autumn wedding & on sale right now.

Polymer Clay Earring Sets sold both as sets and individually. 
These are excellent for birthday gift or favors and so are the floral earrings I carry.

A couple of new necklaces have also been listed in the shop.


I have also added new pocket watch necklaces. You can view all the new items 
in my shop by clicking HERE

You will also notice that I am no longer giving each item a beautiful name, instead you will see long listing names in the title of my jewelry. Why is this?
Well, Etsy has changed how it searches for items, my listings need to be relevant to searches on the site so my items are seen. I love naming each piece I make, however, I won't be able to do this for now. So, when you see the long name on the item, you'll know why. 

One last thing before I say goodnight. I wanted to thank all my Artisan Team members for their support and help during my frustrations with the shop. Being an Etsy store owner has a reality that goes with it, just as any business does, I am just happy to have had some clever minds come together and give me a hand. And for all the new blog followers I have a special savings code when you purchase from my shop. I will be messaging everyone to give them the code. Once you have it, you can save 10% all the time on any purchase you make in the shop! It's my way of saying "thanks".

Keep it real,
Get Inspired,
Be You!

Goodnight,
xoxo

Wow Wednesday

Hello Lovelies! I hope you're having an awesome Wednesday afternoon. 
Wow! I can't believe it is Wednesday already, I've been super busy.

My awesome Mother's Day breakfast.

I had a really nice, relaxing Mother's Day. I started the day with this very delicious breakfast. 
Homemade waffles from my daughter with fresh fruit & cool whip.

My son left for a movie with his friend after breakfast, so my daughter & I spent the afternoon biking and then packing for her school trip.

She is away this week on a wilderness survival trip. Sleeping outdoors, learning to shoot a gun, using a bow & arrow, zip lining, hiking, and cooking for herself. I hope she comes home refreshed and renewed with an Eco friendly mindset. No cell phones, no computers, nothing, just the great outdoors and her group to rely on. She'll be home tomorrow afternoon, I'll let you know how she enjoyed her trip.

I had the chance to peruse Indigo on the weekend. So many organic products, recycling books, recycled products, and kits to grow your own garden, flowers, or herbs. I was so happy to see all this wonderful environmentally friendly gear in the store. Now if they would just get rid of the Kobo...

I'll be back later tonight,
Till then, have a wonderful afternoon & see what's new in the shop.

xoxo

New Rings & A Big Sale on all Mens Necklaces, just in time for Father's Day.

Earth Friendly Ideas

Happy Friday Everyone! 
A big "Welcome" to my new followers, I am so happy to have you all here.
In keeping with my previous post about reducing, re-using, and recycling I have found some wonderful items on Etsy & Pintrest for you to checkout. Enjoy and please be sure to follow the links to view the items.









This is my newest addition in the shop. In an effort to try to make something Eco-friendly with my supplies, I decided on a 2 in 1 necklace with interchangeable charms. 

Hope you're having a wonderful Friday afternoon!
xoxo
