When I created this collection of earrings this past summer, while in quarantine, I was thinking about winter. One could look at the snowy and sparkly components and say, well of course! But I was thinking of winter in relation to our tendency to hibernate and come out of that hibernation at various times to celebrate life with our family and friends. Then while looking through my stones I found these beautiful orbicular rhyolite teardrops. Perfect!

This pendant's turquoise stone reminded me so much of the sea splashing against the concrete bulkheads of Stockholm. While making it I imagined a Swedish princess wearing it many centuries ago and the blue matching her eyes. I have probably been watching too much Acorn TV.

All the romantic influences from art, architecture, and literature certainly played to my imagination with my expectations, but I can honestly say it has never disappointed.

When you can't do something you want to do it more. Right?!

There are a lot of wonders in nature and the delicate butterfly with its fine wings and varied colors delights most of us I think.

With cooler weather and early nights my thoughts are of cozying up with something to knit and a good show to watch with my husband. The last couple of months he's been binging on whatever he can find as far as sports: Basketball in the Bubble in Florida is now in the finals, baseball is now in the playoffs (with his favorite team the A's still in contention!,) golf, and football which is his favorite is a few weeks in. I guess for a sports fan it's pretty good despite the asterick that will likely be attached to the basketball and baseball champions. My husband believes in fairness so with the Astros in the playoffs he's hoping the A's knock them out or better yet the Dodgers beat them in the Series. I guess I am paying attention a little! lol!
