Sterling Silver Dangle Earrings with SIL Help!

7/31/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
Last week I was on vacation in my home state of Arkansas, doing a little rockhounding for crystals in Hot Springs, visiting with family, eating barbeque and lots of other fun things. 

I needed a few photos of my jewelry on real people so I grabbed one of my sister-in-laws (sisters-in-law?) and asked if I could take a few photos of her wearing a couple of pairs of my earrings. She was happy to oblige! 

(The reason for doing this was that earrings are EXTREMELY hard to get good photos on my own ears.....extremely.)

      Go here to see these sterling silver dangle earrings from the "jacks" collection!

Work to do and my Messy Studio....

Since I don't have an art show scheduled right away, I have a little time to get ready (although it is almost August...yikes).

These silver earrings are thrown into this tray because they all need a little extra cleaning....and, you can see my Sunshine polishing cloth there in the background. That Sunshine cloth cleans anything - silver, gold, glass, anything! Go here if you need one of those!

Farmer's Market Watermelon and a Sterling Silver Bracelet

7/30/2019

 
Picture
There is nothing like a freshwater watermelon from a farmer's market in the summertime!

Last week, I was on vacation in my home state, Arkansas and we happened across a farmer's market in downtown Little Rock. Of course, we had to stop & take a look! LOTS of good things there (including some wonderful art by local artists) but my favorites were these lovely fresh watermelons! Takes me back to my childhood, hot days, cold watermelon on a picnic table!

It was a wonderful market (a combination of artists, fresh produce, honey and other delicious things) set up at The Bernice Garden.

Silver Statement Bracelet and Urchin Pot

7/23/2019

 
Picture
I have several friends who make pottery so, when I can, I love to buy their pottery. This beautiful white "urchin" porcelain pot was made by Rocky Broome (http://www.rockyspots.com/). I love the shape of this pot as well as the texture - it's one of my favorite pieces of handmade pottery. 

The silver rope bracelet is for sale in my online store - click here to see details and shop the bracelet!

Electric Problem, the Public Library and a Class

7/22/2019

 
Picture
It was a complicated day. I was signed up for an online class that I was really looking forward and then? Our electricity went out.
I got creative - I knew I could access wifi at the public library, which is very near our house, so I headed over there in plenty of time to get settled and watch the class. 
There were a series of setbacks at the library, but I was finally settled in, accessing wifi and ready to go, pink water bottle in hand! 
Our library has this fabulous view, as you can see!

This Mug and Silver Rings

7/19/2019

 
Picture

​Although they can sometimes look a little scary, these mugs are made by my friend, Terri Kennedy of Potterri Studio, one of the most fun people on the planet!

Our booth is set up next to hers at Festival International in Lafayette, Louisiana each April and we have such a blast. And those mugs FLY off the shelves of her booth! 

Those thin silver stacking rings are available in my online store - you can go here to shop the silver rings!

Small-ish Sterling Silver Square Earrings

7/18/2019

 
Picture
I have recently made a series of 4 or 5 different sizes of these sterling silver square earrings and these are the smallest - so, technically, they are "extra small". As I looked at them when I took this picture I saw that, honestly, they are not THAT small.  Relatively small, yes. Afterall the largest ones are 6" around so those are pretty large so, compared to those large square earrings, these are "extra small". 

So, I guess I should say that these earrings are the "extra smallest"....so far.

Keys Locked in the Car, A Painting + Silver Jewelry

7/17/2019

 
LJH Clark painting and silver jewelry
Painting by Lauren J. H. Clark
A few months ago, as I was coming home from visiting a friend, I saw a sign for a pop up art/craft show so, of course, I followed the signs until I found it.
The artists were just getting set up but I could see that there was so much fun art! I wandered around, bought a couple bars of handmade soap, a little green pom pom key chain from a woman making weavings and generally had a wonderful time looking at all the art.
Finally ready to leave, I went to my car only to find that I had left the keys in the car....along with my phone. Not good.
I borrowed a phone from one of the artists and called my husband but he was across town it would take an hour to get to me. I could also walk across a major road I go to my friend's house, borrow her car and go get my spare keys at home and return to the where the car was parked.
As I was trying to decide what to do, one of the artists, who had overhead the phone call to my husband, came over and told me she would take me to my house and bring me back. She grabbed her keys, casually asked the artist next to her to "watch her booth" and drove me home - about 20 minutes away.
This artist is a painter who paints what she sees around her home in Lakeland, Louisiana. I am so fortunate to now own two of her lovely paintings and several prints.
The artist's name is Lauren Clark - check out all her available artwork at https://www.etsy.com/shop/LaurenJHClark

​I LOVE the look and feel of sterling silver chain jewelry - so shiny and flexible!

People ask me all the time which of my jewelry is my favorite. That's a really hard question, mostly because I love all of them; I know that's kind of hard to believe but it's true.

Silver Bracelets, Thumb Ring and a Big White Mug

7/15/2019

 
silver bangle bracelets silver stacking rings

​I have been going through a "white" phase and buying lots of white dishes, some to use for food but mostly just to have around the house to look at.
​I saw this white mug at a store I visited last week - now that will hold a LOT of coffee! Or maybe I will just put it on a shelf and enjoy it. Isn't it just the cutest? 

Go here shop these sterling silver bangle bracelets and here to see more silver stacking rings!

Silver "Jacks" Earrings and A Silver Ring or Two

7/12/2019

 
Picture
These sterling silver earrings have been in the line up for while now and they are some of my very favorites. 

I think the reason they are my favorites is that they are inspired by that childhood game of 'jacks'. I played jacks for hours with my friends; when I wear these cute silver earrings, they just remind me of those happy days! 

Click here to shop these unique silver earrings ("jacks" inspired!).

Yard Work and Silver Jewelry

7/11/2019

 
Picture
Here in south Louisiana it's SO hot in the summertime and the plants are growing like crazy. Our yard has so many azalea bushes and they are almost out of control they are so big and are growing so quickly.

So - they have to be trimmed back. Every year. Even if it's hot. Even if I want to do other things (anything).

Yesterday, I was trimming and realized I was wearing my silver bracelet (one of my favs) and thought I should snap a picture.

Is this jewelry sturdy? Yes.

Does it mind a little (ok, a lot) of heat and humidity? Heck, no.

Any the rings? They are always up for anything - 24/7. Click here to shop the rings and here to see the details & shop that sturdy, silver bracelet!

Hot Day, Cold Coffee and Cozy Umbrella

7/10/2019

 
Picture
This is the summer I discovered cold brew coffee. I never liked cold coffee (coffee is supposed to be hot, right?) but then a magical recipe for "cold brew" coffee appeared in my inbox so I decided to give it a try. 

Amazing!! Almost sweet. So satisfying on a hot day! 

This is also the year I discoved how wonderful it feels to sit in the shade of an umbrella on my down back porch. Simple pleasures!

The silver bracelet was just "refreshed" on the website (which, btw, has a whole new look) - go here to see the bracelet!

NEW website + NEW jewelry!

Well, my website "overhaul" is finally at a stopping point!!

All new photos, all new backgrounds - I think the silver jewelry looks so much better in this new format!

I have SO many new jewelry pieces to put on the website this week and in the weeks to come. I'm aiming for 1 or 2 per week and I'll send out emails to my list at least every couple of weeks to let them know that something new is on the site.

A Dangerous Act of Kindness & A Silver Bracelet

Have you heard of the "Big Library" read? Apparently it's been going on for a few years & a book is picked which is then made available to people all over the world - so you can read the same book at the same time with other readers all over the globe! What a great idea!

Anyway, I just finished this book & loved it. Serious subject matter but at times humorous & other times, quite sad but...spoiler alert....happy ending!!

Nothing like a Hallmark story but a Hallmark ending, for sure! I love happy endings. 

That's my "clover chain" bracelet right there on my wrist - inspired by the chain of clover that we made as kids!

This jacket. Did you know you can wear this type of jacket all year long, even in this hot as can be southeastern part of the US?

Winter? Yes, on those mild sunny days (we have a lot of those where I live).
Spring? Perfection.
Fall? Just right, a little extra cover on those nice cool nights.
Summer? Oh, yes. You know those days when it is just SO HOT so you wear your coolest, breeziest sundress to go out to lunch with friends? And then...surprise!!

Speak Like a Human and my Favorite Silver Thumb Ring

7/4/2019

 
Picture
I was at the library the other day, taking notes for a wonderful class I am taking. Suddenly, I looked down at my paper and saw what I had written.

"Speak Like a Human."

Excellent advice from a gifted teacher - she just has a way of saying things so that I get it!

Don't try to be (or sound like) something or somebody you are not.

I guess it's a version of "Just be Yourself", which I never could wrap my brain around when I was younger. (Yeah, I would think, whatever that is.....)

Now, I think I get it, at least a little.

You be you & I'll be me!

Oh, the thumb ring? Sterling silver - if you like it, you can click here to order a couple for yourself!

Four Silver Stacking Rings, a Wedding Ring and a New Laptop

7/3/2019

 
Picture
Today was a day for learning new things and getting up close & personal with our local library.

I had to replace my older laptop for several reasons so this has been a real learning curve for me. My last computer was a Chromebook which was great and, before that, a Macbook. So, it's been awhile since I have worked on a Windows computer. Anyway, learning new things here!

Here are a few of my silver stacking rings, two of which I use on either side of my wedding ring. They blend, right?
