Just a few more new things...

...I guess having eye surgery kinda did me some good!  Not being able to leave the house has my creative juices flowing!  I'm in love with these adorable "Nile River Goddess" earrings!  They are so cute!

And then, just so the hearts would not be outnumbered by the stars, I made this cute little "Mother and Child" heart necklace!  This would make a great Mother's Day gift, or a wonderful little gift for a new mother, or mother to be.

While digging through a box of beads...looking for something else, I found these beautiful barrel shaped beads that I've had for years and years!  They remind me of ancient drums!  And the little "Om's" look awesome dangling from the bottom! You can find them here!

And people are always asking me "do you ever make anything with crosses" --- so, here you go!  Of course, they immediately reminded me of Frida Kahlo...until I was reminded that she was polytheistic and never wore crosses!  They still remind me of her "style", though!

So there you have it!  And now I'm off to make more!

Happy Thursday!  Love and peace always ~ Kathy

Old books, bats & birds...

...my finds from the book sale!!! Every year there is a huge book sale @ Brevard College and I just love going there and perusing all of the old books to see what I can find. These were the ones I couldn't resist! The little pink one is from Denmark and looks like a story about a bar room brawl...then there's the one about etiquette [which is down right hilarious], then an old piano book that has really old, wonderful pages of music that I can use for my photography, then a huge book on the life & art of Frida Kahlo [whom I absolutely adore] ~ I will be using her cover picture for my earring prop ~ check it out:

I think she wears the "Crocodile Tears" earrings very, very well. But the book I love the most is "The Limerick" ~ it made me laugh out loud! People were looking at me and I was just giggling and giggling. I'll share one of the limericks, but they are all really, really nasty! I hope nobody gets offended, but I think it will make you giggle, just the same:

There was a young fellow named Goody
Who claimed that he wouldn't, but would he?
If he found himself nude,
with a gal in the mood
The question's not would he, but could he?

hee hee ~ and to think, I got a whole book of that silly stuff for just $1! The way I see it, if something can make you laugh out loud and it only cost one dollar, that's one dollar very well spent!

I'll be at the "Cashiers Mountain Music Festival" tomorrow and then next Sunday, I'll be at "The Big Crafty" ~ if you live close, try to come out and see me. The "special" for both shows will be these awesome little bat necklaces:they come in a variety of finishes and will only be $15 each!! A great necklace for all of you "Twilight & Eclipse" fans, as well as all my homies in "Transylvania County".and before I end this post, I have to share my little mama Robin. She made a nest right next to our deck and now she has some little babies...I haven't seen the babies yet, but I can't wait to!

Have a great 4th of July weekend everybody!!!!

♥ & peace always ~ Kathy
