Roots

Today's Style Set pays homage to my ancestral heritage.  I've always known I was of Scots-Irish descent, but names and dates ended somewhere before 2 or 3 greats.  So my new hobby is Ancestry.com. It didn't take me long to get hooked.  I wish I had known all the information I know now when we visited Scotland a few years ago.  But, now we have more reason to return! Enjoy!

Remembering the Plates

I love creating our Friday Style Sets...it reminds me of playing with Fashion Plates when I was young.  In the world of the plates, you had what seemed back then as endless opportunities to mix and match tops, bottoms, pattern, color, and yes - even faces. A bit of magic occurred when charcoal revealed the patterned plate chosen onto blank canvas, a.k.a. white paper.  I could play with the plates for hours and never get bored - there were always more combinations to discover and create.  Happiness.  I still have them...and while you're enjoying today's Style Set, I think I'll go play.

Introducing...our Left Bank Necklace! Faceted Sardonyx ovals are
flanked with yummy chocolate freshwater pearls and encircled with
brushed sterling silver. Will be available for purchase on the website soon!

Definition

fossil coral |n.| - a natural stone formed when ancient coral is gradually replaced with agate. The fossilized coral typically appears as small flower-like patterns in the stone. Sought by gemstone and fossil collectors around the world. Especially stunning on a bed of sterling silver surrounded by Swarovski crystal and antiqued brass chain as on d. marlene jewelry's Heiress Necklace.
