 I had to edit...yep...it took me a while..

But I did it! yay me!

I was getting a bit tired of the plain

white background at my shop

so I thought about re shooting my items

using something softer, warmer...

In the meanwhile, I finished some

more Pearl oyster stud earrings!

Light Pink Oyster stud earrings

Oyster White Pearl silver stud earrings

White Pearl floral sterling silver pendant

Deep Teal Pearl oyster stud earrings

Embossed Copper Leaf with Lapis bracelet

So, what do you think?

Do you like the new background?

Memories...

You know, it's true...

When you feel insecure or sad..

your brain brings back happy memories...

Usually those of your childhood..

If this is not the case for you,

then, you remember people

who made you happy...

When I m sad, I remember people whose

love made me feel secure and happy..

And, I came across this..

This crochet hook belonged to my 

paternal grandmother...

It’s been 16 years since she passed

And I still miss her..

But this, made me smile…

What do you do when you are sad?

Have you kept things that

belonged to your loved ones?

Challenges...

You know, ever since I started making

jewelry, I never pushed myself very much..

I really thought that the fact I had been

100% self taught was a great challenge

by itself....

I began with simple wrapping...

then tried some more intricate wire wrapping..

and then I was fascinated with metals and fire..

But I never really challenged myself..

I never had the patience or the confidence I 

could make something outside my safety zone.

I never really tried my limits.

.

Don't get me wrong here.

I m really proud of what I have accomplished

so far..

But truth be told..I was afraid of failure.

I hate failing..in anything for that matter.

I have always been someone who 

would only try at anything with

a really low percentage of failure.

It seems I had forgotten that the most

important thing, is trying...

That, the best part is the journey..

And not the destination…

With this pendant, I pushed myself.

It's been on my mind the last few months

but didn't have the guts to try it.

This time I did.

And I made it.

And I enjoyed every minute of this journey.

..the destination was lovely as well ;)
