I recently discovered this sweet jewelry made from spent shell casings fired during the civil war in Liberia. Lovetta Conto hammers the casings into a charm and presses the word “LIFE” into each one. She calls it Akawelle - AKA Wel’le- Also Known As Love. Each necklace comes with the shell bottom as well. I put one on my wish list, and think it’s a great gift for anyone interested...

I didn't get Amber Absolute right away. My first couple of testings made me regard this Tom Ford Private Blend creation as a dumbed down version of Ambre Sultan (Serge Lutens). It lacks the challenging parts: the kitchen herbs from the opening and the chewy feel, but it's still a dark amber with very little (if any) powder involved, and a woody heart. For a while I only used it for layering and enhancing...

I'm back from vacation - didn't know I was gone, huh? Well, I don't like to announce to the cyberworld my house will be empty for a few days. Later on, I'll upload my own pictures but I wanted to tell you where I'd been. NYC! Yup we did the Thanksgiving Day parade and all that madness. Never did it before and wanted to experience it. (Can you say "Bucket List?") What can I say? It was fun...

What the heck - I decided at the last minute to hold a sale. 30% off everything in my Etsy store (including the above ruby, amber, wood and - of course- fine silver necklace that appears in the Fall 2009 issue of Stringing ) through Tuesday, December 1st. I can't remember the last time I held a store-wide sale, but I've been so disorganized about every aspect of the holiday this year (alas), and it...

I had been inspired earlier in the year by my attempts at wire wrapped jewellery making at the Make Lounge . A relatively swift and darn good way of creating personalised jewellery one offs. My sister was celebrating her birthday down at the log cabin we rent every year in order to get three families and friends together in one venue - sort of Twin Peaks meets Butlins. I decided to make her a birthday...

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving, however you celebrate! I had a wonderful time! I had the awesome challenge of going to two family dinners with all the fixings. I was a little afraid I would overeat and feel sick, but I did a good job of having just a taste of everything and not eating until I was super stuffed. I have another party to go to tonight, so we shall see if I continue this trend, *laugh*...
