"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.

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.

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.

These occasions stay with us and replay many times over in our minds.

“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.

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!

That age old question pops up time and time again...which came first, the chicken or the egg?

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. -

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.

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.

An earth child is in touch with nature, knowing there are so many things to discover, including oneself."

"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."

"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.

"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.

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!"

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."

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.

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?

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.

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.

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?
