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!

Travels, Thoughts and Treasures...

This is a photo of what I collected throughout my travels hither and yon yesterday. The fabric you see in most of the background is the perfect Saint Patrick's Day shirt! I was searching something both elegant and fun. I love this style of shirt. I love the mixture of vintage pictures, poetry in calligraphy and sparkly beads! The book to the right is a mixture of philosophy and spirituality. I brought it home because though it was published in the 1970's, it has many of the same ideas that are now called "New Age" and "revolutionary". I smile at that. The more things change, the more they stay the same and change, it seems. The necklace caught my eye because of the chain. It inspires visions of unexpected steampunk grandeur! I believe I can reuse the pendant and beads as well.
As I gathered these treasures together for pictures, I realized there was a theme, of sorts, to them. Words, wisdom and flowers! Many green and growing things in the pictures and words. Perhaps it is a sign of spring! Or the wonderful sunshine we've been having lately. Or perhaps a small footnote to mark the place where I'm at right now... and looking to build on.

I'll leave you with one of the quotes from this most interesting book:
"What is responsibility?
Ah-might as well ask, what is self?
It's your responsibility and your self, and no book and no person
can ever tell you anything about it." - Paul Williams Das Energi (which translates to "The Energy")
