for the kid in you...

...and me!!

i EEEE!-ed aloud when i came across these miniature playhouses!  [my roommate can attest to this.]

Hobbit Holes are a dream come true!  combining my love for all things miniature and gnome-like, these little hangout structures are colorful, whimsical, and truly fantastic!  great for little ones running around pretending to be elves and hobbits, but it would make a great backyard reading nook. 

Wooden Hobbit Hole Playhouse  -  $3140

frozen in time

i am fascinated by the ability to capture something - whether it is an object [natural or not], a word, any sort of memory - and preserve it as-is forever.

my amber jewelry pieces were the most worn items in my jewelry box for a number of years - probably for that very reason!  i was attracted to nature's imperfections that were transformed into centerpieces of gorgeous design and wearable art.  

as recently as a few weeks ago, i came across sylwia calus' shop, sisicata, which is full of the designer's beautiful poly-resin jewelry creations.  you will find pieces with nature captured flawlessly and also some with a modern, geometric flair.  i am especially fond of her moss pieces as well as her minerals [love that shine and irregularity!].  

Clear Forest Ring - $40
Moss Pendant Small - $80
Ammonite Pendant - $60
Last Blow of Summer Pendant Grey - $120

loving the lovelies

samantha walker is the artist behind the jewelry at proteales.  i dig the simplicity and uniformity.  of course each piece is unique and handmade, but the styles are so classic...the true beauty of the stones [and charms] are visible and not overpowering.  most pieces can be customized to your needs - your particular size and stone[s] of your choosing!  

sweet and delicate.

labradorite ring - $45

Manatee Necklace (Save the Manatee Donation) - $25

Large Oval Sterling Mood Ring - $60

Agate Geode Druzy Necklace - $50
