Vintage Look Burgundy Flower Basket Hungarian Doily

JewelryCollectibles — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 21:16:59 +0000

Once in a while it’s nice to remind ourselves that fashion is not just in the clothing and jewelry that we wear. Fashion is also in home decor. While we may not consider “home decor” and “fashion” all that compatible at first glance, let’s think again.

Each of our home’s are decorated in our own style, celebrating any variety of “fashions” that have come down through time, whether it be Victorian, Mediterranean, or good old Americana, or as I like to call it, “Flea Market 101″!

Fashion, style and home decor are all synonymous with good taste and a flair for decorating. No matter what label we stick on this, it all boils down to what makes our homes “us”.

Here is a lovely doily we’re selling for a client, imported from Hungary. The exquisite embroidery and attention to detail simply cannot be beat, and this lovely doily will be a great compliment to almost any decor……. take a look:

It’s exquisite without being overdone, yet timeless and classic, a real work of beauty. Find out more about this lovely vintage look burgundy flower basket doily by clicking here!

Padparadscha Teardrop Lampwork Beaded Necklace Set

JewelryCollectibles — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 21:07:01 +0000

This is a perfect necklace for anytime of year, however, I think between the color and the style it is well suited for summertime, for a special occasion!

You may be wondering about the “padparadscha” part of the name of this gorgeous necklace set that you will see in a minute. Here’s the 411 on that…………

“Padparadscha is a pinkish-orange to orangy-pink coloured sapphire, with a low to medium saturation and light tone, originally being mined in Sri Lanka, but also found in deposits in Vietnam and Africa. Padparadscha sapphires are very rare, and highly valued for their subtle blend of soft pink and orange hues. The name derives from the Sinhalese word for lotus blossom. Along with Rubies they are the only corundums to be given their own name instead of being called a particular coloured sapphire.” This information is provided for your consumer knowledge thanks to our friends at Wikipedia!

This necklace set does not actually contain gemstones that are padparadscha sapphires, however, the crystal hearts we use in the bracelet are Swarovski padparadscha colored crystal.

This lovely necklace set is the epitome of padparadscha, metallic apricot, spectacular lampwork beads, pearls and more, as you will see from the following eye candy………………

Here’s a description this lovely set:

A drop dead gorgeous color combination with PLENTY of sparkle, not overdone, and classic elegance.

Czech glass fancy metallic apricot beads, pale rose pink Czech glass teardrop beads, gorgeous orange / red / pink floral lampworked beads encased in a clear glass setting accented by sterling silver rondelles, clear crystal aurora borealis Czech glass rondelles and a lovely lead free pewter toggle clasp on this necklace.

Bracelet is a stunning show stopper in coordinating colors ~ Czech glass fancy metallic apricot beads, pure ivory Czech glass based pearls, sterling silver plated solid brass heishe spacer beads, clear crystal aurora borealis Czech glass rondelles, sterling silver loops and rings, and 5 absolutely perfect padparadscha Swarovski™ crystal hearts dangling from the bracelet and a 6th one dangling from the one inch sterling silver handmade extender chain attached to the sterling silver self locking lobster claw clasp.

Much To Be Grateful For!

JewelryCollectibles — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 20:26:25 +0000

I know this blog of mine is a business blog, however, from time to time I like to reflect on the fact that I am very blessed and very grateful for what the Lord has given me. I like to reflect on what makes my life whole and happy……….. and some of it I will share with you here.

My garden. Even though I live in an apartment, in a surburban area, my landlady has granted me freedom to take the side of the building I live on and make it into a garden that suits me! She frequently contributes, either help, flowers, or sincere admiration, as does her husband. Here are a very few pics (more to come in future posts!) of some of the flowers of my garden and what I did with a weedy, barren patch of land.

I have two large pots from when I lived upstairs from where I do now, I used to have those pots on the porch. Now, because I moved to a very nice but smaller apartment directly below that in the basement (or the bunker, as I like to call it!) I have the entire side of the building to myself as far as making a garden. So, those large pots now house my “kitchen herb collection”. This particular shot above shows my Silver Edge Thyme with flowers from the Lavender plants peeking through. The thyme and the lavender live very happily together in this pot.

These are my Hardy Pink Lilies that I planted last summer in the ground. They were beautiful for their first year. They came up this year with energy and pizazz! They even made babies. These are large, beautiful pink lilies with a very light smattering of spots in like a fuchsia maroon sort of color near the centers. Very little fragrance, at least to my nose, very light. However, even though they may be light on the fragrance they were more than generous with a profusion of multiple blooms! And baby plants that sprung up near each mother’s base.

This is one of my Stella D’oro Lilies that I planted last year as well. In the back of it you can see my Bleeding Heart plant to the right. I planted two of those, one white and one pink. This spring it became obvious one made it and one didn’t. The white bleeding heart plant made it and came up huge. I missed on taking pictures of those flowers but will make sure I catch that next time it flowers, usually in spring but if we have a cool autumn I may get some more flowers. The Stella D’oro lilies are so bright and cheerful and almost remind me of big overgrown daffodils in a way!

This particular lily is sandwiched between the creeping juniper on her left, the bleeding heart on her right, more lilies and roses in her back along with some hosta, and in the front, which you can’t see right now, in the spring are a row of false garlic with their white star shaped flowers and in front of that, some tulips and hyacinths.

Last picture for today! This is Lizzie, my rescued iguana, who has a whole story of her own to tell. Here she is hanging out watching me watch her through the camera lens in her kitty bed which I bought her last Christmas. My friends tell me I should write a children’s book featuring Lizzie. Don’t know about that, although she really DOES have quite a life story to tell and she’s still quite young! Here in this picture she is still recuperating from her life saving surgery.
