Lots have emailed and wanted to see more of the necklace in the banner...I think it's my all-time favorite! It's long, so it's hard to photograph, so to get a better look, don't forget you can click the picture to see a full screen shot. And have you seen French Knot Monogramming? My friend Gretchen turned me on to this...hope I did it right. Any suggestions for it's final destination? A pillow? A purse? Help me out! I haven't the foggiest idea where it will end up. Also, the knitting that served as my plate here will soon be a pillow. I'll let you know how that turns out too.

Nothing could be finer....
than to win something so perfect on
from Natasha Salkey, a London jewelry designer
I was recently on my favorite website, Daily Candy, and found my new favorite website, The Bright Side Project! Y'all, they're giving away the coolest stuff. Something different every day! All you have to do is answer the featured artist's question and wait. Of course when I saw this irresistible bee necklace, I pitched my answer, crossed my fingers and toes and held my mouth just right! Can you believe it? I won! Even Natasha Salkey, the artist, couldn't believe it when she discovered what a perfect match she'd chosen. I've kept the secret long enough. It's time to let the bee out of the hive! Please visit The Bright Side Project and then scoot right over to Natasha Salkey's website to see more of her irresistible jewelry. Maybe I'll "stash" something in my own Christmas stocking this year!
Bow-datious no.3
3rd addition to Spring's Bowdatiousness!
(18"copper chain, 1"x1.5"copper bow w/ amethyst drop)
Aimless?!...I think NOT!
MOVE OVER KATE SPADE, HERE COMES HANNA!Gadabout (gād'ə-bout') n. An aimless pleasure seeker;
A traveler in search of enjoyment and amusement;
One who roams or roves for social activity.
Well, Hanna Nation is anything but aimless!
Her new fine monogram stationery has a definite direction and I don't think she has lost her way. Hanna seems to have found a perfect expression in each illustration that she has created. It's fresh and different. She's so clever in where she locates your monogram. This illustration, and Patterson's keen eye for fun little baubles, has inspired this Spring's "Bow-datious" trinkets.
Please visit Hanna's website to learn more about how to order your own stationery and, if you have a fella that needs his own cardstock, don't miss the link at the bottom of her homepage to Gallivant! I'd say this was pretty close to perfect for graduation!
