Silver & a Little Jasper

New in my shop.

I've sold several of these around town & one went to Afghanistan (as a lucky token) with a friend of mine. I haven't heard from him, but hopefully he'll come strolling back soon.

**Edited**

A Fine Distraction included me in her treasury. My first treasury ever!!! Well, I go to Etsy this morning & I have a convo from her congratulating me on my first sale. My first sale!!! The little mended heart is going to a new home in Vegas, baby!!!

This is my newest "baby" that went to her new home Friday. This one was hard to let go, but I can't keep them all. The photo isn't great, but I snapped it quickly because I had to get it boxed up. The stone guy told me it was a lahontonite jasper, but I bought it because it looks like the sea oats on the beach at my beloved OBX. I've never seen a stone like this, probably never will, but we had our time. *sigh* I miss her so.

For my Mom & Grandma & a little extra

Here are the pieces I made for my Mom & Grandma. My Grandma gets the Sea Glass. It was my first attempt at setting something that wasn't polished & buffed for the purpose of being enveloped in silver. It was easier than I thought, but it is a small piece. The Ocean Jasper (my new favorite) is for my Mom. They have been such a support system for me in so many aspects of my life that this is just an infinitesimal token of the appreciation & love I feel for them. I'm the luckiest girl in the world to have been given to these people as my family.



This is a little sneak peak of the filming going on in Durham. The movie "Main St" is being filmed a few blocks from my house & I snapped this while I was walking to my local watering hole. I haven't been able to get a pic of Orlando Bloom, but he's in the warehouse, I promise. It was getting ready to storm, so I wasn't going to wait (stalk) for him to run out..(that could have taken hours, or even days). It's amazing how long it takes to shoot a movie. I also don't have a pic of Colin Firth, Ellen Bernstyn or Patricia Clarkson, I do have a few of the crew, as they've adopted my little tavern & seafood restaurant as their "winding down" place. I'll thought I'd be able to get a couple more pics because they were supposed to film right in front of my favorite tavern, but the weather was not conducive to successful filming.

I hope you all have a wonderful day!!
