"When you learn Santa doesn’t bring gifts down the chimney and place them under the tree, it really dampens your childhood excitement. However, just because gifts aren’t delivered the way we thought doesn’t mean Santa doesn’t exist. If you step outside on a cloudless December night and look up at the stars, you can almost see old St. Nick looking back at you."

Ancient memories course through regal veins. The females and young form close-knit groups. They mourn the loss of any member, often caressing the fallen comrade for days with their trunk. Sometimes the loss is so deep, the female wanders off to grieve alone. What do these beings dream for? Perhaps a day when they won't be poached for their tusks or forced to perform silly acts in the name of entertainment.

About this piece: Had to lay the earring tilted on its side in order to photograph.  When in your ear, the elephant will face forward.
There are many things to love about summer. Fresh tomatoes, corn on the cob, lightning bugs and cricket concerts. Swimming pools, picnics, badminton...and watermelon. Cold, juicy, delicious. Cutting into that green rind, exposing the deep red. Yes, there are seedless varieties, but half the fun is spitting out the seeds while juice runs down your chin.

About this piece:
When it comes to life, you know every roll of the dice is another day and that makes you a winner! That positive attitude makes you the kind of person others want to be around.

About this piece: Really delightful earrings. 3" long but they are not uncomfortably heavy. Each earring has three dice...two are resin and one is wood. Dangling from the bottom is a cute slot machine with the word "Win" on it. These are ideal for anyone who loves to gamble, loves to play Bingo, or just to let the person know how lucky you feel having them in your life.
There aren't many times in our lives we have to really dress up, but isn't it true you can vividly remember every single one? Easter Sundays in your finery, your prom, your wedding. These occasions stay with us and replay many times over in our minds. This crisp black, silver and white piece might evoke memories of fancy affairs, but can pop off a little black dress or add the right touch to a pair of jeans. In other words, it can go anywhere you do!

About this piece:
“This sleek, gorgeous feline is definitely not your grandma’s kitty cat! This isn’t a kitty that sits in the window watching birds at the feeder. This is a bold piece; no doubt you will get loads of attention with this sparkler. You’ll have a difficult time telling these aren’t black and white diamonds, they are that spectacular. Me-ow!”

Price: $26 (plus shipping if applicable)

About this piece: This picture doesn't even come close to showing how stunning this necklace is. The panther is substantial, detailed, and covered in black and clear crystals. It's truly gorgeous. The necklace itself consists of a variety of unique black and silver beads. It's a show stopper, no doubt about it.
"Spidey Sense"

Price: $15 (plus shipping if applicable)

About this piece: This is a super cool, unique piece and the picture fails to show how amazing it is. The "web" bracelet is covered with black rhinestones giving it a super sparkle, but nothing to compare to the sparkle coming off the gorgeous pink-crystal-laden spider. The spider dangles from the web (but is securely attached) making it a true one-of-a- kind piece. Someone needs to buy it quick. Otherwise I'm going to keep this one!
"Spidey Sense"

Price: $16 (plus shipping if applicable)

About this piece: A multi-layer ribbon necklace. Each side is simply decorated with a black and clear crackle glass bead (looks like webbing) and sparkling silver bead with a design etched into it. The pendant is a stunning, high quality silver web with a sharp spider lying in wait. The spider has enameled black legs while the body is covered in clear and red crystals. Very sparkly.
That age old question pops up time and time again...which came first, the chicken or the egg? But with so many other things to think about, all the stress in our lives, do we really need to spend time on such things? Have some fun wearing this light-hearted jewelry and leave the life questions for another day.

Price: $8.25 (plus shipping if applicable)

About this piece: These cute and colorful earrings are purposely asymetrical. They are a lot of fun and will certainly garner a lot of attention.
Mother turtle emerges from the ocean to lay her eggs in the sand. Her journey is risky but the universe beckons. She covers her progeny, perhaps adds a turtle prayer for safety, then turns back to the sea, never to see her young. The time comes. The little ones hatch. Run to the sea, little ones, so you can someday return and repeat this ancient ritual. -

About this piece:
Sometimes a light kiss on the neck is as romantic as a long, passionate kiss on the lips. That is the thought behind this breathtaking piece. By relying primarily on various sizes and shapes of sparkling crystal, the small touches of deep ruby are as surprising and romantic as a love letter sealed with a lipstick kiss!

Price: $12 (plus shipping if applicable)

About this piece: In person, these earrings are breathtaking. Lots of sparkle! The fishhook-style earrings are sterling silver.

About this piece: Length: 7 1/4" Clasp: heart & arrow toggle (color-silver) The picture doesn't come close to how this sparkler appears in person. The clear glass and crystals are various shapes, sizes, and textures.  Some are faceted, some iridescent.  There are also a few silver beads, which do not show up in the picture but are stunning. Hints of ruby red make the piece truly breathtaking. Any more would have been too much. You can't tell from the photo, but this piece sparkles like crazy. Just be careful when driving! You'll find yourself staring at it instead of the road if you're not careful!
"Of all the hard candies, it is difficult to outdo the butterscotch. Usually wrapped in shiny gold foil, it starts off a visual treat. Usually wrapped in shiny gold foil, it starts off a visual treat. As you unwrap it, the sweet smell wafts to your nose, making the trip to your lips seem longer than it actually is. You place the candy in your mouth and regardless of how many you've had, it's a flavor that never gets old. Each time you slip this bracelet on, your thoughts will turn to the simple pleasures in life and for just a brief moment, you will swear you smell butterscotch!"

"Picture the most decadent black licorice - the good stuff now, not the dime store version. Now imagine it drizzled with a dark amber honey. Not the most edible combination perhaps, but certainly a feast for the eyes! The unique center bead literally looks like a piece of licorice encased in glass. This unusual twist on the classic black and white will set off any outfit and have others admiring the culinary masterpiece on your arm.

Price - $10.75 (plus shipping if applicable)

About this piece: Length: 7 1/4" Clasp: flower toggle (color - antique gold/bronze) You cannot tell from the photo, but this is actually a very stunning piece. There is a ton of sparkle. The center bead is very pretty and unusual. The middle is black while the outer portion is a light It doesn't show up well in the picture, but it appears the black part is floating inside. On either side of the center are two very beautiful beads that are incredibly shiny. They look, to me, like gold nuggets. Sure can't tell, though, from the photo. I'll be the first to admit, it looks dull and boring in the photo, but in reality, it's an amazing piece right down to the unique clasp.
"These gorgeous jewel tones are fit for a queen. Deep, rich amethyst, sparkling blue topaz, breathtaking peridot, and candy apple ruby set off by the gorgeous gold. These are reminiscent of gems you would find in any crown or scepter. Even if your blood isn't blue, there's no reason you can't adorn yourself like royalty. Be the queen of your own kingdom and rule with style!"

Price - $9.00 (plus shipping if applicable)

About this piece: Length: 7 1/4" Clasp: marcasite-look heart toggle (color - antique silver) It is so difficult to photograph jewelry.  The beads that look black are, in reality, a gorgeous purple.  This is a particularly pretty bracelet and the colors play off each other so nicely. The center purple bead, as well as the two larger red ones, are iridescent and faceted, really creating light play. Just a rich look.
"An earth child walks lightly upon this land, treating it with the utmost respect. An earth child cherishes every tree, every rock, every mountain, every lake. She understands this planet we call home is a treasure, a gift. It should be measured in natural assets, not monetary ones. An earth child is in touch with nature, knowing there are so many things to discover, including oneself."

Price - $14.00 (plus shipping if applicable)

About this piece: Length: 7 3/4" Clasp: Filigree tongue in groove (color - gold) This two strand piece is made with iridescent clear, milky white, yellow, amber, and plum glass beads with light and dark brown, beige, and orange wood beads (some with carvings). This reminds me of an African tribal look. Truly lovely.
"This necklace takes one back to their mother's time and the beautiful pieces they wore in her day. We can just as easily imagine this piece adorning her neck as our own. Did your mother let you play dress up when you were little? Her old slip your evening gown, her costume jewelry your royal gems? As little girls we looked up to our mom and wanted to be her (at least until the teen years came around!). Put this necklace on and be transported to another time. Look in the mirror and you just might see your mother looking back at you in the glass."

Price - $20 (plus shipping if applicable)

About this piece: Length: Clasp: lg. round lever (color - silver) This is a truly beautiful necklace. It sparkles and shines and plays with the light. I have come "this close" to keeping this necklace, I love it that much. The colors are various shades of pink, lavendar, white, and crystal clear. Many of the beads are pearlized, iridescent, and/or faceted, making it really glow. You'll have a hard time keeping your hands off of it because it feels good to the touch, as well.
"The Southwest is like nowhere else in the United States. The landscape, history, people are unique and special. This bracelet depicts the colors and textures you see there. The turquoise sky, the various orange shades of sunset. The tan mud homes that provide shelter now as they did then. Many bracelets from this region are big and bold. This one is delicate but not timid...and, of course, one of a kind. This piece instantly transports you to the southwest so saddle up for the ride!"

Price - $16.00 (plus shipping if applicable)

About this piece: Length: 7 3/4" Clasp: Bronze color oval toggle clasp. This double strand bracelet is made with a variety of coral, peach, and turquoise glass beads, brown and tan wood beads, some with carvings, lovely metal beads, crystals, and genuine cat's eye beads. This piece is loaded!Because of the color background I chose, the picture does not do it justice. The colors are so much prettier and brighter than you see here. I'm not particularly a fan of southwestern style jewelry, but I love this...and you will, too!

The clasp is very unique, as well, very similar to a disco ball. The center bead is a larger version of the facted gray crystals. The entire piece really catches the light.
"One of the most magical parts of Christmas is the lights. Whether on a tree in the living room, hanging from the eaves of the house, or candles in the windows, the beautiful glow from the holiday lights makes your heart flutter with memories of Christmas past. It is so breathtaking when it's dark outside and the only illumination comes from the holiday lights and the reflection in the eyes of children and the young at heart."

"The holidays are typically filled with stress as folks clamor to fill their shopping carts with presents they have to pay for, not to mention wrap. This bracelet is a gentle reminder that the best gift is helping others. This jewelry is a gift, but the animals being helped by its purchase is another. Give the gift of life...wild life, that is!"

"As the well-known poem goes, visions of sugar plums dance in our heads this time of year. I'm honestly not exactly sure what a sugar plum is, but I do know at Christmas there are so many wonderful sweets.

Pet Memorials

Price - varies depending on the materials used.

About these bracelets: Losing a pet is very traumatic. A Pet Memorial bracelet (or necklace) can provide comfort and is a tangible and outward expression of grief we may feel uncomfortable expressing otherwise. This particular example is a bracelet I made for a friend who lost her beloved orange cat. It's hard to read in this picture, but beside the orange cat charm is a charm that says "I love my cat." Most of my pet memorial pieces have an angel dog or cat. You can purchase an already-made memorial piece or I can customize one for that particular person.
"It's no wonder there are so many terms that utilize the word "cat" - the cat's pajamas, let the cat out of the bag, cat got our tongue? Has the nine lives of a cat, like a cat she always lands on her feet. Cats are very special creatures who work their way into more than just our vocabulary, they wriggle right into our hearts! So proudly display your love of cats by wearing this beautiful bracelet. It's as fun and playful as they are!"

"When you learn someone is a dog lover, you really don't need to know anything else about them. Dog lovers realize no home is complete without a dog (or two or three or seven!). After all, who else jumps up and down for joy every time you walk through the door, whether you have been gone days, hours, or minutes? Proudly show your love back every time you wear this darling bracelet. It's as cute and playful as a warm puppy!"

"Some homes have cats, some homes have dogs, but the ideal home has both!  Dogs and cats each bring their own brand of joy.  Any animal lover will tell you cats and dogs are as different as night and day.  But one thing they have in common is their appeal.  So if you are a person with both in your life, this bracelet is for you.  A home with cats and dogs?  Howl purr-fect."

About this bookmark: Just like with the jewelry, the photos of our bookmarks don't begin to do them justice. This is a beautifully detailed mark with gorgeous beads and darling charm.

These bookmarks, regardless of size or shape, do an amazing job of keeping your place. Nothing is more frustrating than a bookmark that keeps sliding out of the book. It could be the most beautiful mark on the planet, but what good is it if it doesn't work? These work extremely well...and are gorgeous to boot!
