cold is here.
as a matter of fact there is a foot of snow blanketing my jeep outside. everything is blinding white.
it's time to stock up on a few basic things, firewood, thick rolled oats, beans of course.

then there are the other basics, simple daily pleasures to walk along with you in the day.
and to keep the fire going...
​
so, stocking up on things like these coil rings, in the golden vermeil, finger rings, scarf sliders...

or in simple black and brushed silver, quite minimal to fit right under those warm winter gloves! ​

putting my thoughts together this morning I realized there could be much to say...but for now pinning down a few things, somewhat randomly popped to mind, but pretty important:

- I am an animal lover. since forever. like forever.
I feel affinity with dogs, coyotes, wolves, foxes, dingos and bears...
a stuffed bear was given to me by my mother when I was 1 and we never departed.
Kara my black dog companion is currently with me, I love dogs, I cannot live without them.

​- a red jeep was a surprise gift from a fellow jeweler at a show in Baltimore, several years ago.
He just walked up to me in the aisle in front of my booth and asked if I could pick up his truck parked at the Albuquerque airport for him, he had just bought a brand new red pickup in Philadelphia and was driving back west with it. He handed me the keys, and if I liked it, he said, I could just keep it...
​
red jeep is still my daily wheels, including a little intervention years back with a rebuilt engine.

and for further reading, bouncing you back to a blog post of some while ago, for a quick summary of a few years of recent living...

it was an intense weekend this past one, the jewelry closeout sale came with much anticipation and hit with great impact and cleared out the display table, set up in my studio for visual support!

and then it was time for packaging everything, pile it by the door and pass the safety check by a vigilant assistant...

a batch ready to go. thank you to all who virtually stopped by....thank you for the support!

the jewelry closeout sale is just about a week away and here's another quick preview of what you'll find there: dangling coil earrings

these are the very last 2 pairs of the dangling coil earrings i am left with, one in the copper finish (that witty orange) and one in the brass finish (the lemon yellow) and both are great for late fall and to add some swirls to your season. i am retiring this style from the popular twisted and wires collection, as i add new designs and keep growing this line.

don't miss it!

all items are between 40% to 60% off and this is a closeout sale....you know, closeout: not more of these after that!
as a subscriber of my collector list, you get to shop the sale two hours ahead of everyone else and i envision things selling out fast!
