New Pendant Available

It's been awhile since my last post, but it's been a busy several weeks. I've recently added a new product, which is really the 2-sided photo charm only in a larger size. Called the Photo Pendant, this new item measures 1"x1.5" which is a perfect size for either the bookmark option or as a pendant by itself.

What has been so time consuming has been our relocation. We are now located in Campbellsville, KY, and with this move we anticipate an ever growing product line. What fun!

Hebrew Charm

Now available as a 2-sided charm! The same image as shown in the magnet post (the Leningrad Codex) from April 2007 has been sized to 1"x1". The reverse side includes 3 lines of your personalized text. Elegant and beautiful!

L'chayim!

A satisfying moment is when you've spent long hours working in a special project that turns out beautifully. I absolutely love this Hebrew Chai magnet. I love the rich colors. I love how the beveled glass plays with the underlying image. I love the meaning of it: life. What can be more appropriate for this time of year, for Spring, when life in nature is returning than to introduce this celebratory piece? Many thanks to my dad who helped me through this process.

Signs of Spring

I just wanted to share these images of lambs taken at the Fischer farm in West Tisbury. Those of us with children really wished to see the little lambs when they arrived. Some of the lambs were as young as 2 days old! They were terribly cute as you can see from these pictures. They have a bunch of these little guys with more appearing each week. Simply adorable!

Hanging Vase

The hanging vase project is finally finished! This project started with a thrift shop goblet. I'm fairly pleased with the results but am filled with ideas on different methods. I wish I had better photographs, but these will have to do for now. I think once I have several completed I'll photograph them all together. At the rate I make these it should be a bit warmer outside.



This vase could be filled with all kinds of things. A few cut flowers from the garden, seashells, colorful small objects, even dried flowers would look nice in this vase. How about a bit of sand with a votive candle for a bit of romance?

Family Pets & String Dolls

I'm really not sure what anyone else thinks about these Koonin Pets from Kamibashi, but I think they're wonderful. They're a mix of my 2 favorite things: visual texture and animals. "Those are creepy", my husband said looking at my monitor from over my shoulder, but I think they're adorable. They're so expressive!

Just as wonderful and wacky are the handmade String Doll Gang, also from Kamibashi. With names like "Super Piggy" and "Safety Boy", someone clearly has a sense of humor. It's too difficult to pick a favorite, but each one is supposed to help you in some way. Crazy Eyes helps you find things, Lover Boy attracts passion, inspires loyalty, and serves up the love, and Super Piggy might just save the world yet. They're only 2.5" tall, but they seem to be a whole new breed of super hero.

Getting Closer

Not yet ready but getting close, I couldn't wait to share a peek of how these magnets will look with the gorgeous beveled glass. These magnets are going to be solid and the magnetic material strong. No one wants a cheap magnet that keeps slipping down the refrigerator! I plan to have several customizable designs available by mid-April.
