GREAT ARTIST

sorta lazy Sunday. thus far Ive posted two new pieces in my shop, cleaned one of two of my bathrooms, vacuumed, loaded the dishwasher, and washed two comforters. i absolutely love "belle armoire jewelry" magazines. theres so may great stories and i get bit of inspiration from there.
Amy Hanna a great artist was featured in this issue, heres some of her unique and gorgeous work.

...IM TIRED

im shamelessly promoting my on line shop its called "SPLENDID SPIRIT" you can browse there at splendidspirit.etsy.com
im up late, just finished a great new piece, will post next week.
i really love what i do and i hope to never get bored with it. my work space is in need of some TLC its small crammed on my side of our bed so i do most of my work on the bed. usually with three or four trays spread out.
i get inspired by alot of great artist out there. what i really have my eye on right now is vintage, bygone era, but im all over the map.

A PROMISE IS A PROMISE

im gonna pick one full hour where i devote my full attention to my blog. ive been real busy. alot has been going on, ill play catch up soon.This pretty necklace is done in 4 x 6 Czech glass beads, in various finishes, inserted in between these decorative caps. A beautiful filigree style butterfly dangles from the colorful vine. All suspended from a antique brass hammered ring and chain. {"splendid spirit" on ETSY}

I ENJOY WHAT I DO

my journey with jewelry is exciting and fun. i love experimenting with different objects and types of findings. i work with allot of vintage looking pieces and giving off the mixed media effect. ive sold a few pieces and hope to sell more but if i never sell another thing i just enjoy what i do.

SUNDAY~SUNDAY

good morning my fellow bloggers. I'm up and focused on having a fantastic day. i must say I'm the worlds best procrastinator. waiting until the last possible moment to do something. i went to the mall last night, {school shopping} and with school starting on Monday and this being tax free weekend, i stood in the check out line at hollister for 35 min. crazy i know but i got some great bargains.
i did manage to squeeze a yard sale or two in this weekend. i snatched up these three heavy, chunky red/gold frames {bargained them down to $5.00 for all three}

SPLENDID SPIRIT by LISA

Because ive found myself loving what i do from designing to handcrafting a gypsy/vintage inspired piece of jewelry or accessory I have downloaded "splendid spirit" a little corner of the web world where i sell my creations. check it out, and remember its a work in progress. I have more pieces that im tweaking right now but they'll be up soon.

well my two red wingbacks found a home here for now, when we finish our master room i believe they will fit perfectly side by side.

...ON AN OUTING

wow! your looking at a uniquely put together birds nest with gorgeous colored eggs inside, maybe just laid, maybe ready to hatch. mother nowhere in sight. found outside in a tree that had fallen during the hurricane and still lays.
"WHATEVER"!
this is actually a find bought at hobby lobby for $2.00. HA!

THE HUBS...JUSTA TID BIT

I USUALLY KEEP MY PRIVATE LIFE WELL, PRIVATE BUT WE MADE A TRIP TO THE DOCTOR TODAY {ROUTINE CHECKUP} AND WHEN WE ARRIVED HOME I DECIDED TO TOUCH UP THE LIL GREY THAT WAS PEEKING FROM MY ROOTS. WELL ONE THING LED TO ANOTHER AND THE HUBS LOOKS TEN YEARS YOUNGER. THESE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN 7 HOURS APART.

GOT THE NEW ISSUE

CRAZY FOR A BARGIAN

OKAY. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE "THE PINK FUNNY FARM". GREAT DECOR ITEMS...BUT I SHOPPED AT HOBBY LOBBY FRIDAY AND BOUGHT THIS CUTE GLASS BOTTLE WITH A CROSS STOPPER. PAID $6.00....
AT THE P.F.F THE SAME GLASS BOTTLES SALES FOR $25.00 EACH.

THIS IS THE SCENE NEAR OUR COMPUTER DESK. IM ON A MISSION {HAVE BEEN FOR AWHILE}, TO COVER THIS HIDEOUS THING. IT LETS IN ALOT OF GREAT LIGHT, BUT IM TIRED OF LOOKING AT THESE DUSTY LIL SLATS!...SHAME ON ME.

GIVE A LITTLE

THIS WAS GONNA BE YET ANOTHER PROJECT, BUT ITS BEEN SITTING IN STORAGE SINCE THE HURRICANE EVACUATION. KNOWING ILL NEVER GET AROUND TO MAKING IT OVER, ITS GOING TO "GOODWILL", ALONG WITH THIS PIECE OF MARBLE I WAS GIVEN YEARS AGO. IM A DUMPSTER DIVER AT HEART AND A YEAR AGO I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE PLUCKED THESE FROM THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SO QUICKLY, BUT I MUST CONFESS IM RUNNING OUT OF ROOM.

Metals, Petals & More...shopping in and near Houston. {Old Town Spring}

One of the must-stop shops in all of Old Town Spring is Metals, Petals & More. The sprawling store is in six sections: kitchen wares, holiday and garden items, clothing, jewelry, home décor and an upstairs clearance center.

expanding my horizons...

I'm a huge fan of skirts, i must own dozens, more than any other clothing. i just adore this it caught my eye when i was surfing for places to shop in California. the colors are so rich and the prints so lovely. its at a boutique called "lovebird boutique and jewelry bar" in Santa Barbara....Gorgeous!

ANOTHER ITEM THAT GOT PULLED FROM THE BACK OF MY CLOSET, AND FOUND A HOME IN MY DINING ROOM HANGING NEXT TO AN OLD COLUMN. {I BOUGHT IT AGES AGO AT THE DAYTON TRADING POST}

GYPSY

this is one of my crafted pieces i wore last week and i received so many compliments. it really boosted my soul to start designing again. a few months ago i lost my mojo for jewelry making, I've since been craving to handcraft more funky, beautiful pieces.

"Lotsa Dots Rain Boots"

i just la la love these. i have a really chic pair of rain boots (leopard pattern), but these would be great for a fun day of splashing around town.
