My Dream Trip

For years now, I've been wanting to go to Iceland.

I don't know why or even where this idea came from, but a trip there would truly be a dream trip for me.

I honor of this trip, I created a new treasury that captures the beauty of the island both in photos and in artistic pieces that were inspired by the country.

I hope you enjoy it: http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list_west.php?room_id=89944

Have a great weekend!!!



Until next time....

Spring, St. Pat's Day & Bunnies!

Hey guys!

Well, the Olympics are over and I can get back to this now. :)

As you can see from my bunnies here, (and my Etsy-mini to the right) I've been busy creating and trying to get into the Spring mood.

I have to admit, I'm quite the Winter person. All year long I look forward to Fall/Winter and normally hate Spring and Summer.

But you know? We've ALL had a hell of a Winter this time around. And this year??? I cannot WAIT for the Cherry Blossoms to bloom, the birds coming back, the warmer weather and not looking like the Sta-Puf Marshmallow man in tons of layers....it's time this Winter ended and for the pretty colors to come on back.

As St. Pat's Day celebrations start next week, I made sure to make some pieces to get you in the mood and feel lucky all year long!

Oh and what do I mean by "next week"?

Well here in my town, we ALWAYS celebrate on parade day. Usually the Sat. before St. Patrick's Day (unless St. Pat's actually falls on a Saturday) the festivities begin after the parade has ended. And then it's every man and woman for themselves. LOL

So be sure to check out my Shamrock goodies!

As for the Spring season? If you're like me, you think light, pretty pastels....Easter Egg colors, tulips (my favorite flower btw) anything to take the Winter gray's go bye-bye.

So I've made a few pairs that, while similar in style, use some fun and pretty light colors. They can be casual or dressy and can even make pretty gifts.

Finally, my bunnies!

(click on the pic above for a better look at them in all of their cuteness)

I do have more of these little guys but for now, I wanted to get at least one pair of them up. I hope you think they are as cuddly as I do!

I hope you all like my newest pieces...gonna do something different this time and leave you all with a nice pic of our local Cherry Blossoms from last year. We can all use a little pretty!

Until next time.....

Help Us Get to the Front Page!

Until next time...

To Twitter or Not to Twitter....That is the Question...

I've been toying with doing the Twitter thing for The Goblet for a little bit now.

I already have this blog, and a Facebook fan page (you can get there with the mini-version to the right), but wonder, is that enough?

Would love to get some feedback from those of you out there who do the Twitter thing. Has it helped? Is worth it?

I have to admit, I'm not a fan of Twitter myself. But I know that it's the next step in social networking promotions.

So c'mon--give me a shout-out! Let me know the good, the bad and the ugly of using Twitter!

Thanks in advance!!!




Until next time....

Inspiration comes from the strangest of places...

As you guys know (and if you don't, feel free to read old posts here), I am a treasury fanatic.

I've done so many now, that sometimes finding new ideas for them gets to be a little bit of a problem.

And then, life happens.

The other night I had a little fall and while in general I'm fine, I did end up with some interesting bruises.

Thus my inspiration for the Black and Blue treasury!

Just when you think your creative juices have left you, BOOM! (literally)

Feel free to click on the link to see the treasury live, it's going for two more days...or click on the image for a larger view of these folks wonderful creations.

I'm also going to include here the image of the full treasury--the 12 live pics along with the 4 alternates. Because I happen to think they are pretty nifty too!!!

Enjoy the choices and your evenings.

Until next time.....

I got a little creative...

It's been a while since I sat down and made anything new, so last night I took some time and made a few new pieces for y'all to see.

St. Patrick's Day is coming up soon and when I found these great shamrock shape freshwater pearls I just had to get them!

Right now I have two pairs of earrings and a bracelet made with these pearls.

I've also put up a new pair of sterling and freshwater pearl dangles that are great for any occasion.

I hope you like them and will (hopefully) be posting even more new pieces soon!

Until next time....

Are you ready for some football?

Super Bowl Sunday is upon us and that means food, fun, silly commercials and oh yeah, the game itself!

It's such a fun night with friends, get into the football pools...and did I mention the food? lol

To celebrate the game, I created my new treasury with day in mind...

Game Day:

Have a great time tomorrow, be safe and if you have any money on the game, good luck!
