Just wanted to pop in and share this bracelet I bought from 27things a couple of weeks ago. It is made from rough, unpolished moukaite nuggets and re-purposed Tibetan prayer beads.

Moukaite is believed to increase mental stability, deepen meditation as well as aid in yoga practices. It is thought to keep the wearer grounded and help with difficult situations and decisions. Rosewood is also believed to balance moods.

Now I’m off to hopefully mark some things off my to-do list. Have a great day!

New Englander, Rachel Analiese, has again started collaborating with several Etsy visual artists to offer their art on polymer clay and glass tile pendants. I am pleased to announce that I am one of those artists and The Way It Should Be is now available on a polymer clay pendant!

Make sure to stop by Analiese Designs and pick up your pendant!

I received the cutest gift in the mail a couple of days ago!

It’s from my good friend My Little Chipmunk and something I’ve been eying for quite some time.

This stunning little ceramic tile pendant featuring a hedgehog silhouette hangs on a silver ball chain.

This sweet little gift, like all necklaces from her shop, came packed in an equally adorable matching slide-top tin.

Make sure to stop by and pick up your own little hedgie or perhaps a bunny or squirrel or elephant!

This lovely little e-zine is published monthly by Design for Mankind. Each month provides a new theme in which to find inspiration. Issue 5 (pdf) is dedicated to inspiration in nature and is filled with inspirational photographs and commentary from various artists.

I am so excited to have been apart of this issue and you can find yours truely on page 10!

Welcome to the new blog! I’m doing some rearraging and moving some things about on the website and blog so bear with me.

Everything should be fully functional again early tomorrow!
