SO MANY ONES

it's another year. 01/01/11. it's nuts. shouldn't we be in flying cars by now? 2010 was a year of crazy work and constant movement. 2011 isn't looking like it's going to be much different, but there are some fun and exciting projects that i will be working on and of course the continuation and growth of the great lakes goods. thank you all for checking in with me periodically and always feel free to get in touch! HAPPY NEW YEAR BUDDIES!

MERRY MERRY

have a lovely and warm holiday!

MANIAMANIA

this cuff is something that is such an amazing statement piece. it's by a jewelry line called mania mania and called the perception bangle. i really like that jewelers are getting into making collections of jewels as to coincide with the fashion seasons. it just makes for such a cohesive grouping of jewelry. i am the type of person where if i like one thing out of a line, i usually love it all ( especially with new jewels). i love that the stone in the center of the eye is aquamarine. i love aquamarine. it's totally underused. i think i also just love the word aquamarine. it brings to mind a specific shampoo that was always in the shower when i was growing up called, aquamarine. it was the loveliest color and had a salty sea smell.
check out the rest of the jewelry HERE.

TOO SOON

it's hard to imagine what music would be like if he was still around. but one thing is for sure all he ever seemed to want was peace. i was 1 when he passed, but he and the others were a constant present in my house growing up. my mom had a beatles song book with all the sheet music of their songs and i was teaching myself how to play them on my casio. thank you sir for making golden slumbers happen.

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT I FORGOT
