SNEAK PEEK

Yes, you can feel it in the air . . . FALL is coming! On September 1, I'll be showing off some new additions to my line. So this week, I'll be featuring a few sneak peeks for you to wonder and dream about. This one is a favorite . . .

Oh, NO!

With all of the hustle and bustle in getting ready for the Ruffles and Rust Show last month, I completely forgot that it was my

2nd Anniversary on ETSY.

This is cause for a huge celebration.

So what would a celebration be without

CUPCAKES AND COUPONS?

Take a cupcake and a coupon and grab some for your friends. There's plenty to go around. I'd really love it if you shared.

Just use COUPON CODE: ANNIVERSARY20 at checkout. I'll figure out the rest!

So, another year of living a life of bliss has come and gone. I can't thank you all enough for your generous support of my little business. I thank God everyday that I am able to live my dream.

Thanks Mom and Dad

I hope you'll enjoy a cupcake too!

My Heart Beats for You!!!

It goes without saying . . . I LOVE Valentine's Day! This is true for so many reasons. I met my dear sweet husband one day after Sweetheart Day back in 1980. I was lamenting that I just wasn't clicking with any of the "stuck up" California boys. I had just moved (reluctantly) from Illinois - my Dad had been transferred for a new job, and I was too young to stay back by myself. And 31 years later, I am married to and in love with my "not very stuck up" California boy.

But the other reason I LOVE Valentine's Day is HEARTS! As you can see above, there is no shortage of hearts in my jewelry creating these days. But I want to tell you about some special hearts that I've come to love. These special little hearts are made by my sweet friend Lisa Souers. Lisa is this full of energy, darling and happy woman who has inspired me by her business, her laughter, and her zest for life. You'll see many of her ephemera hearts have shown up on some of my designs this season. I think they go perfectly with my Vintage designs. See for yourself here on my Embarcardero Bracelet - so fun! http://www.etsy.com/listing/66957361/embarcadero-bracelet-vintage-brass

So here's to a lovely Sweetheart Day . . . who makes your heart go pitter patter??? Tell me "your" story and be entered into a giveaway to win my "Lil Crush Necklace". http://www.etsy.com/listing/67065747/the-lil-crush-necklace-swarovski-crystal
I will pick a random winner on on Tuesday, February 8 so you'll have your necklace before the big day!

An End of Summer Wedding

There's really not a lot to say here . . .

what a joyous, beautiful day!

Blessings and LOVE to the new
