Still going, and going...

Well, I am officially another year older. I turned 43 on the 18th (and no, the cutie in the photo above isn't me). Although I was sick on my birthday (and I am still sick) I am thankful for another year of life, time with my family and friends, and doing what I love.

Speaking of doing what I love; I have had so much fun making jewelry lately! Thoughts and ideas about new designs come and go, and come again, so quickly that I have to write them down in notebooks so that I can remember them all later.

(Sorry ~ the necklace shown above was listed and sold in my etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=25539483; thanks for asking about it though!)

Lately I have been working with some of my antique and vintage jewelry pieces and the soldered charms that I make. Most of the old pieces are just little fragments found here and there in junk shops.

I hope to get a collection made and listed in my etsy shop in a few weeks. I will also be making a larger collection to sell this summer at the Lavender Festival, along with my regular items, if approved. Keep your fingers crossed for me please! :)

(Sea Glass Serenade, with a vintage glass French perfume flask as the focal, is available here: www.honeysucklelane.etsy.com)

Thanks for stopping by ~

Take Care and God Bless,

Lana
