Why I Design My Hand Crafted Pieces

 

I design accessories

to bring some 

added magical sparkle to the good days

and 

 protective armor  and confidence 

on the challenging days.

Each piece I create is 

infused with my signature

Down To Earth Glamour

I want everything I design

To bring Joy and confidence 

to the wearer!

I want to inspire women with the 

joy and empowerment of personal style.

Whether you're looking for some

quick and easy glamour 

or some

 Artful Polish 

or even a bit of

Armor and confidence

or just a bit of 

Wearable Joy

My designs

can  help empower  your personal style.

My biggest hope is that my designs can help

inspire you to 

Make Your Life Your Art!

My

Luxury, Handcrafted Pieces

are made with love 

and 

a desire to be cherished

here in my Southern California Studio.

As always my friends

I wish you love and joy

Hello Monday ... Hello Gratitude

 I do a 

Gratitude List

everyday.

I have been doing for longer than I can even remmber.

Today I thought I'd add 

some of my favorite pictures

that fill my heart with

Summer Gratitude.

For me writing

Gratitude Lists

has been life changing

in that I notice when things are good.

Even on hard days

there are always reasons  to be 

Grateful. 

I believe we get more of 

what we think of most.

I also believe it doesn't matter what we have

as much as It matters

how we truly appreciate what we have.

Comparison will always be the thief  of joy.

I am at an age

where I can

feel the sacred in the ordinary.

Small moments

are my big moments.

That a regular Tuesday

can be as memorable and meaningful.

That time together

 can be

 the greatest of riches.

That it is such

 a gift to be able 

to watch our children grow

no matter their  age.

That sometimes

 the summer light

can stop me

in my tracks 

with 

it's beauty.

I believe

 the amount of beauty 

you find in your life

has a lot to do with

how much you seek it out

and

create it.

I believe a lot of life is about

consistently showing up

and 

noticing all the 

Glimmers in Your Life.

Here are a few more of mine.

This here is one of my favorite views this summer.

While I was washing the dishes in the kitchen

this sweet girl

out. in our backyard

completely immersed in her 

watercolor painting.

A simple

sacred moment

to me.

As always my friends

I wish you love and joy

as you style your life

July Moments and Family Crafts

I originally edited all my pictures here 

for a pre July 4th post.

I recently realized I forgot to finish it!

So I'm sharing it now

so I'll remember it next year.

I was very happy with my 4th of July decor.

Especially the round fans I hung from our custom 

table rod.

It just said festive and fun!

Family dinners and crafts

have definitely been 

one of my very favorites this summer!

The grandkids come over once a week

then we've been having a family dinner after pick up.

Each week I try to do a new craft for the kids

so I have them out when the parents are here.

I have been so happy to see how the whole family gets

involved and the level of creativity

they each have in their own way!

This week I got supplies to make

Fairy Houses.

I gathered a collection of natural

for the fairy homes.

I was literally in awe of the wonderful creations!

Especially Megan's!

She actually did a weaving with  embroidery floss

Dax preferred pool time with some friends!

Here are some more snippets of the backyard.

Jeff and I have spent much time working in the garden this summer

and

it's always such a joy to share it during family time!

Thank you so much for stopping by here!

What are you up to 

this July?

As always my friends

I wiah you love and joy

as you style your life
