Carnelian Focal Pendant Neclaces

This week has been a productive one and I have enjoyed it so much. I finally got my web site going and have it linked to my blog and my Etsy shop. I am really happy with it so far and I am really looking forward to expanding it as time goes on, along with my blog. My new web page address is www.happyplacesjewelry.com

Then; after the web site building, I got to some fun business...working with stones and beads. My brother, Thom Tapp, gave me these stones a while back. The carnelians are natural stones that he hand cut in free form to compliment the stones bands and color and then tumble polished them to a beautiful sheen. I drilled the pendant holes and created necklaces with them using garnets, amethysts and tiger eye beads along with sterling silver, Hill Tribe silver and tiny seed beads. I have to say that I think these necklaces are beautiful and they are truly unique, original one of a kind necklaces. I am going to list them in my Etsy shop for this weekend. When they are gone there will never be one exactly like them and I think I will miss them, a real sacrifice :)

My Cat Is So Funny!!

I couldn't not take pictures while we were enjoying a pretty day and I couldn't believe the cat (Minka) could sleep so high up on the deck rail, the deck is over eight feet high. She did it though and wasn't really happy about waking up!! Every time I watch this slide show I can't hardly keep from laughing...I hope you enjoy it too.
