Spring is here !!!!!!!!!!

At least in my mind it is ... outside says something totally different! This was the view of my backyard this morning ...

Doesn't look much like spring does it? But I don't care what the weatherman or that silly groundhog says ... I want spring!!

So even if I can't magically make spring appear I can start to dream and think about what I will be wearing. And here are some of my ideas as to what would make spring lovely this year.

Picture this with a cute little floral skirt, t-shirt and a light cardigan. Dot is a 2" round hand turned wood disc hung on a sterling silver chain. Dot is available in Purpleheart (shown), Wenge, Cocobolo and Ebony.

Dot - 16" - $50.00

18" - $55.00

Or one of these with a pair of your skinny jeans and a ruffle top. Iris is a quartz briolette hung from a sterling silver chain.

Iris - 16" - $45.00

Iris - 18" - $50.00
Available in both lengths in Rose Quartz and Crystal Quartz.

Put those two together with a sweet summery dress for a touch of fun.

Don't forget the earring ...

Iris earring - $25.00

Or this one would look equally as sweet! Dahlia features Swavoski crystals beaded onto a sterling silver hoop.

Dahlia - $30.00

So are you ready for spring now??? As I sit at my window and watch our snow melt ... I sure am!!! Bring it on!!!

New things are coming!!!!!!!!

It always amazes me how quickly time flies. There I was in the middle of summer and now a full week of school is under our belts. I'm trying to explain why I haven't added any new things lately! I have been busy!!!

But I do promise new pictures soon. I am working on some new and exciting pieces too but have to get my full collection up for you to browse through.

And don't forget ... now that the kids are back in school Christmas will be coming fast!!

See you soon,

Tanya

Fall's Newest Length!!

As a designer I am always on the look-out ... for the newest shape, colour or a fun new product to try. Imagine my excitement when I got to play with all those elements for the latest additions to my collection. When a little birdie told me she was seeing something new on the horizon I was excited to add my touch to it. As is the case in my 4 new necklaces. Long, lean, sparkly and fun.

These necklaces measure approximately 51 inches, if you would prefer it to be longer or shorter please let me know and I will work with you on it.

With my first two I got to play with a new (to me) product. Czech hand pressed glass ... the gorgeous colours and the feel of the glass had me hooked.

Purple is one of fall's biggest colours and I loved it combined with the peridot to make "Hyacinth" .

Hyacinth - $100.00
Hyacinth earring - $25.00

Another fun hit of color popular this fall is orange. My heart sang when I found this combination of spun and sugared glass. This gorgeous color will make any outfit pop. The "Fire Lily" is my gift to those who love orange.

Fire Lily - $100.00

Fire Lily earring - $25.00

For you nature lovers this one, "Gardenia", blends the best of nature and sparkle. Made with my dad's hand turned wood discs and high quality Sterling Silver chain the "Gardenia" is a fabulous piece. Please note that this particular necklace was made with Caragana, which is a gorgeous combination of light and dark shades. If you would prefer a different wood, darker or lighter please email me and I can let you know the variety of woods that I have available.

Gardenia - $175.00

Snow Drop - $25.00

Last I bring you "spring in fall" which Wish magazine says is one of the biggest hot trends for fall. The "Freesia" combines all my favorite semi-precious stones. Rose quartz, crystal quartz, jade, peridot, and citrine in one amazing piece.

Freesia - $175.00

Snow Drop - $25.00

These necklaces measure approximately 51 inches and should hit somewhere between your belly button and your low-rise jeans. If you would prefer it to be longer or shorter please let me know and I will work with you on it.

I am sure you will find at least one item perfect for updating your fall wardrobe!
