Trunk Show

Janis Lodgson and I helped Nancy Jamar with her trunk show this last weekend.
It was held at Mel Mauks' Dream Stone bead store in Rancho Cucamonga. It was a three day show and lots of fun.

Living Doll House

Kim Kostkas house was on the Fullerton,Ca home tour. It was chosen to be in the
Romatic Homes Magazine. This weekend Kim who is Georgia Hechts' partner at Salt
Water Design, had an open house. She opened up her home and it was like stepping
into a real life doll house. Everywhere you look you would see something new.
Wonderful collections, things from the past, small treasure tucked in a corner.
Kim has a fabulous eye on where something should be placed and what it should
be paired with. Kims' house is a true treasure in Fullerton.
Kim also will come out to your house and rearrange your existing furnishings
and create a space for you without having to completely go out and buy
all new items, she works with what you have and turns your house into a show
place.
Kim has the magic touch!

New Week New Favorite

I can not believe how fast the week went by!
My favorite for the week is just a simple pair of
earrings. Fun for everyday and blue jeans.
the vintage cabs remind me of blue Dursy Quartz, I love the color
I guess that's why they made the cut for favorite of the week!

Wall Of Chain

This is a shoot taken in Nancy Jamars' Gilding the Lily Store. How amazing are
all the vintage chains? Such a wide selection> How does a girl choose or do
you just take one of each?

Roses that Keep On Blooming

I'm just amazed on how much the roses are blooming this year. This picture is just
one steam that has thirteen roses in bloom and the rest of the rose bush is the same it is just covered in roses. I love the color when they first bloom they are a dark
pink to a light red, after they are in full bloom they change to a soft light blush
and almost white.

It's like two rose bushes in one it is quite a show!

This Weeks Favorite(s)

I figured it is so late in the week I choose two favorites, they look so well together but of course they are separate necklaces.

Favorite Of The Week

Well looks like we have a new favorite of the week! I love how this looks
so old world, a treasure from long ago. The beautiful filigree with the dark
deep purple enamel. The wonderful old coins makes this one a true treasure.
