In an attempt to get myself out of the doldrums I've decided to upload some of my jewelry pics to flickr. Actually my daughter Anna took these wonderful pictures for me. I just wanted to post a couple on my blog. I don't want you guys to think that I sit around and mope and dwell in the past because that's actually not me at all. I do mope some, a bad habit, but all in all I work very hard to maintain an easy going persona. Sometimes I'm not very successful, but I do try. These earrings I really like because they're rather whimsical which not only do I like the word itself I like the meaning of the word. Just having looked the word up in my dictionary I see there are different meanings, I choose to convey with these earrings, "lightly fanciful".
I added this for Green-Eyed-Lady- Thanks btw ;-) I just sold this piece, didn't get much but as my husband always says, "better then a poke in the eye with a sharp stick"!
I love these pieces! The earrings have a delicate beauty mainly due to the lovely shades you chose for the beads, and the thin silver swirls in the teardrop-shaped top. The necklace, however, it the piece I would be more likely to wear. Green is my favorite color. They both make me think of one of my best friends, who is a landscaper with a passion for dragonflies.
Thanks for sharing them! :0)

Yes, I find them very charming ... They seem like the kind that would make you feel enchanting just by wearing them.

now hold on thar pardner. I think I said I'm not a jewelry type person. As a matter of fact I have purchased jewelry for Marilyn. But the hardware store here in town quit handling it and now I have to go with kitchen appliances when I'm really trying to make and impression. I know it works cuz my Wife can remember every present I've given her in the last 5 years. But if I were to start giving jewelry again, I'd give my wife something that looks like this.

Thank you bridgesitter! Green is a fave colour of mine. I can see why it sold! I smile when I look at it. I bet your business thrives. :)
In a twist of fate, I purposefully removed the post and photo of my green necklace from my blog, of a completely different style, that I posted about a month ago.
Many people wanted to see more pieces, but I didn't know if I was violating a blogging ethic by displaying that photo. I guess not. Duh on me!
