Fini Friday! Treasure Trove!

Hello Everyone! 

Welcome to Fini Friday! 

I hope your week has been lively and your weekend full of fun plans! I've shinies and loot to show you today! 

This is a cache of treasures from a good friend.

They were originally from a dear relative of hers who was downsizing her jewelry collection. Aren't they marvelous? I love the eclectic collection of styles, shapes and colours!  I don't have any concrete ideas just yet for this menagerie, but I find it all fascinating!  The faceting on the clear glass beads winks demurely at me.  The baby blue beads have a soft allure to them.  The more rough red beads to the left and multi-coloured milifori beads to the right are a bit bohemian and organic.  The silvery chain and matte white beads are interesting in an architectural and textural way....Hmmmm..... It will be fun to create with these!! YAY!

My last batch of loot for today is these golden beauties!

The chain to the left and top is a wonderful Greek Key design with three different styles of Goddesses every so often.  Aren't they lovely?

The brooches to the right are secured together by that fabulous chain.  I love the geometric designs, swirls and, of course, the Keys!

Hmmm.. there seems to be a theme to this trove - keys!  How apt, since they are treasures already unlocked!

So that's it for this Fini Friday!

Just a quick reminder... I've an exciting event this

Sunday at 5pm (CST, USA)! I and Cheryl Patton will be teaming up for a special show Welcome To Being Human! Many times, people feel (especially in the various Healing paths) restricted in their ability to experience and express the entire range of human emotions and actions.
Often, we are offered a "barrage of rainbows" or not allowed to "go negative" during stressful times.
Where did this impossible pedestal we're on come from and who put us up here, anyway?!

Listen in while Amy and Cheryl chat about accepting our role of being human!

Do join us!

Have a fabu weekend!
Ciao!

Whimsy Wednesday! Pirate Treasure and the Fae!

Hello Everyone! 

Welcome to the first Whimsy Wednesday of the new year! 

I hope it has been grand so far! I've decided to continue the current format of Whimsy Wednesday and Fini Friday(for now) as it still is useful and fun! 

In keeping with turning of the old into the new year, I've a little bit of old and new whimsy for you today! 

Let's start with the old! 

This is a fabulous golden-hued earcuff that is perfect for this Winter season! Title: Fire Fae 

Ingredients: Swarovski crystal (Fire Opal), Czech glass, brass, gold-plated earcuff.

  Why is it perfect for the Winter season? Because of the warmth and fire that leaps from it! The Faerie influence is felt in the fiery leaf and sparkling Fire Opal Swarovski crystal! I also like that it is an earcuff, rather than earrings (though there is a matching pair available!),which seem to be more unusual and therefore more exotic! This is ready for adoption in my Etsy shoppe here! 

And now for the new! 

Title: Treasure Trove 

Ingredients: silverplated surgical steel earwires, lead-free pewter(USA and other), metal.

A treasure trove these earrings certainly are! On the left we have a jaunty, seriously piratical flag flying from the hypo-allergenic earwire! Dangling beneath it on a intricately patterned link are two coins of a far away and mysterious land! Coins bring good luck and pirate coins doubly so! On the right we have the pirate's chest, bursting open with treasure, jewels and good fortune! Suspended just below sea-farer's trunk is the key! I love all the little details and whimsy woven through these, especially the asymmetrical design! 

These, too, are available for adoption in my Etsy shoppe right here! 

That's a wrap! 

I hope you have an awesome week and I'll see you on Friday! 

Ciao!
