Recently I reconnected with an old friend from the past, not to say she is old, as she is much younger than me. Still we were friends when we were new to marriage new to starting family's. We each had a child in the same year. Our husbands were friends. I remember alot of wonderful times. My family moved away, and we lost track of each other.
My friend sent a box of vintage treasure, I have been busy the last couple of days creating some of my most favorite pieces ever. I am calling these the Chana Collection for spring! after my Friend, all of these pieces are one of kind pieces. Thank-you to my Friend Chana I am really glad we reconnected!

Think Pink!!! Feb. 14th

2011-02-05T21:02:00.000-08:00

Think Pink!! Valentines Day !! , Coming home from Richmond, VA. today, I heard on the radio of a contest for couples, who can write in to this station their love story, I started thinking of my own, and what I would write if I entered the contest, and decided to write it on my blog. Please I would love to hear from everyone who reads the blog to tell their own love story.
I met my husband 34 years ago, and valentines, really marks our first date. We didn't get married till august of that year so this coming august will be 34 years of marriage.
I was working in Norfolk at the De Paul Medical building, and I lived in a small apt. building near the wards corner area, the year was 1977, sadly this area has changed a lot over the years.

After being gone for the weekend I returned to my apt. building and found the neighbors were having a party and someone was parked in my space. I parked behind the car and went into the party apt. and asked who ever was parked in my space needed to come move their car, I don't remember the tone of the request, but this really nice looking guy stood up and said,"sorry I will come move my car right now." I don't remember if we even spoke while we walked down to the parking lot to move the cars or if we spoke walking back up stairs, I just remember I thought he was really nice, cute. That was the first part of Jan. He came around to visit his friends alot and would stop and say hello, we crossed paths at the Laundromat, and finally he asked me out for Valentines,That's another story, but I guess this is a love story, here we are thirty-4 years later...

Vintage Christmas

2010-12-22T16:28:00.000-08:00

I have been up in Richmond the last couple of weeks, and we have had a lot of very cold weather there, and snow, even VA. Beach, got some snow, what happened to those Christmas days where it was warm. The weather report is calling for six inches on Christmas day!!! Hopefully next Christmas I will be in Hawaii enjoying temps at about 70, my daughter who lives there called the other day to tell me how cold it was.

I wanted to share some of my Vintage Christmas balls, most of them are still in storage. In January my husband and I are going to travel and do some vintage shows till Spring. I don't think I will take the vintage balls, but I have been collecting a lot of sliver the past couple of years, and some china, pink transfer ware, and furniture. I plan to still sell my jewelry I have a lot made with vintage. Looking forward to this new type of show. We start in January with a show outside of D.C., and move on to Gaithersburg, Maryland in February. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, stay warm!!!

I Have Alot to be Thankful for!!!

2010-11-28T10:09:00.000-08:00

Turkey day is over, and the weather is sunny but cold, we all probably ate to much, I didn't do any black Friday shopping, never do, never will and I have a lot to be Thankful for!!!

I am still wishing I was in Hawaii, I guess I will just have to settle on watching Hawaii five O. I really do love the show and it is fun to see places that we also visited. I really want to visit the beach behind (Alex, the guy who plays McGarrett) his house in the show, That looks wonderful!!! (end of last nights show!)

especially if he(McGarrett) is there!!

Back to Work!!

2010-10-11T08:14:00.000-07:00

Unfortunately, my trip to Hawaii has come to an end, and now it is back to work, getting ready for this great fall / winter season. As soon as I got back, I had to rush and get ready for three shows all in the same week. Not to say I lazied away in Hawaii but it has been very hectic starting up again. I did work some in Hawaii, but for the most part I just got inspiration form the beautiful landscape and the wonderful people. I marveled in how no one seems to be in a rush, and if stop the bus driver to ask questions on how to use the bus to get from one destination to another they welcome the task to help. Hawaii has Ambassadors that walk the Waikiki beach area just to answer questions on the

activity's, places to go etc. anyway I am home now, and getting ready for this season with lots of new idea's. I will be posting new photos in the next day or so. Look for the new designs!!

The Girls

2010-09-05T09:50:00.001-07:00

I recently starting using our "girls" in my jewelry displays, at our shows again, My husband designs all the girls, cuts them out and I paint them, we used to have about 12 for the show displays, more for store windows.
Recently we lived in the Midwest for a short stint of time, our daughter Emily, had a store front there that we worked out of (this is where " The Lost Mermaid " was born). The store was housed in an old bank building on the main street of town. There were about 9 large windows that wrapped around the building, as it sat on the corner. For the new season we put different girls in every window. It was really a great effect, we could watch customers following the windows down the side of the building back across the front. Some of Sam's women lead a vicarious life style, and I am bring them back out of the store room for sale, new one's of course. The basic girl is $35. and can be custom ordered

to your own color combination's, size, hair, eyes, martini, or with out martini! click on the face book badge below, to go to my face book store, just click on shop now, for custom orders Please contact me either on facebook, or e-mail. Oh! send us your photo, your girl can look like you!

Happy Anniversary

2010-08-27T10:48:00.000-07:00

Today, August 27, 2010 is my wedding anniversary!!!
Yea! 33 Years!!!
I remember this day very well, my husband I got into our first big "misunderstanding", a few hours before saying, I Do!
(I realize now that it is not a good idea for the bride and groom to spend the day together!)
All I could think of was what was I going to tell my parents, If I did not get married?
Call the wedding off??
His parents, and family, would have done cartwheels to their cars, popped the champange!
Mine had gone to a lot of hard work and expense, so as I sat in my yellow Mgbgt (19681/2), (with the doors locked), I decided that I would just do it!? Go through with the ceremony...
File for a divorce after a respectable time limit?!
A friend of ours recently told my husband that her daughter got married on the "two year plan", they signed a contact, that if they don't like each other in two years they will go their separate ways, my husband replied, he must have signed the long term contract because his hasn't run out yet!

I think Face Book is an Addiction?

2010-08-19T06:27:00.000-07:00

I am new to Face Book, I resisted for a long time, my younger daughter told me it's for the kids, and young adults, but finally I set up a face book account.
I can't believe all the people I have come in contact with, from the past years. It has been alot of fun messaging people from High School, messaging people who were at one time very good friends and very important to me, but like all of us, we move on with life as we had Children, and moved to different locals. Oh also, my daughter(22) finally friend'd me!
My time is getting closer till my adventure to Hawaii!! I am getting ready for Fall, even if I will be in a summer climate when it starts. new designs for fall.

Have you noticed how the days are getting shorter?

2010-08-12T08:12:00.000-07:00

This week I noticed how the days are getting shorter, The nights are a little cooler. It's still summer but all of sudden fall is sneaking up on us. After such a hot summer it is kinda of a welcome relief. I got busy in my studio after missing two weeks of working on other projects, and decide to stick to a theme on the piece's I am making this week. I created necklaces that will cascade your neck line and go with all colors. Some a little heavier for fall, Turquoise green, and blue, Hubie, oval, nugget, cut. I am leaving for Hawaii the first week of Sept. and will be gone three weeks. I will have to ship all my tools, and start having my stones shipped over there. I can't wait to shop for shells and pearls. I am getting excited about all the fun Emily(my daughter who lives there)will have exploring all the shops on the Island!

REFECTION'S!!!

Vintage Supplies & Chess Cake

2010-07-10T18:23:00.000-07:00

If you live on the East Coast around Va. Beach, you know we had a rainy day.
My husband and I headed out for our show this morning(5:00am), but turned around about hour into our trip because of the rain.  On the way back home we stopped off at a few places looking for vintage things, I am not looking for anything in particular just looking for what I can find. Above is my treasure of the day!
Look next week for the finished necklaces, that I will make from these vintage necklaces. My husband is leaving for Hawaii next week, to visit with our daughter for three weeks, he is taking an empty suite case(all you need is a couple t-shirts, shorts, a bathing suite,under ware,flip flops, good to go)  so he can fill it up with vintage Hawaiian print shirts, which my daughter assures us is plentifully! (I am going in September, Yea!)
Back to the Chess Cake, The receipe, and it is very easy, even if you don't cook, because your day job is being a lawyer or a doctor, or an artist. This is a great receipe for summer, with family get togethers, but come fall any church or school function that asks you to cook something up for a bake sale your ready!
Chess Cake
you will need: one box of yellow cake mix, Three eggs, one box of confecionary sugar, one box of cream cheese, sheet cake pan, the larger the pan the thinner the cake squares
heat oven to 350 degrees
melt stick of butter in your sheet cake pan in the oven
mix a box of yellow cake mix with one egg
sprinkle over melted butter evenly in your pan
mix in a bowl, cream cheese, two eggs
slowly add confecionary sugar, you can mix with a whisk, but it is faster to use your mixer, I don't have one anymore so I just use a fork,(wisk) works just as well.
Pour this mixture of cream cheese and eggs and sugar on top of the cake mix layer, spread evenly. cook till light brownish yellow, it only takes 30 mins, I check it often, allow to cool,cut into squares, enjoy, I am a pureish, so I don't add anything else but you can add chocolate.

Hot! Hot! and really Hot!

2010-06-27T07:52:00.000-07:00

With the heat index at 110 last Thursday, they called our show at the Whalehead Club, "Under the Oaks" Art Festival,Corral, N.C. We were all ready to call an end to two days of extreme heat. New designs I made for the show.

Summer Shows

2010-06-13T11:11:00.000-07:00

I had two shows this week, and it was really hot! Fridays was indoors, Thank God,! but it was hot loading in and loading out! My husband usually does this for me but he was off working on another project. (I need to remember to be nice when he is helping me) Saturday was a fairly new venue for us, and it is always great meeting new people. it was also very hot, and I didn't remember to be nice to husband when he was loading and unloading!

The photos I am posting are his design,With fathers Day coming up, I want to recognize what a great Dad and husband he is.(and I don't want him to stop helping me with the shows!). We collaborate on ideas, He will sketch the original and then I paint. a few he will paint, but for the most part, I do the painting. Just like in life! Happy Fathers Day Honey!

Last week I posted some new designs with the beach glass, I love making these necklaces. Now I am on a quest for beach glass, to make more. I had a customer ask if I would make them a necklace out of their beach glass they collected over the years, here at the beach, or on their travels. What a wonderful way to take memories of trips walking on the beach and turn it into a treasured keepsake. Look for more coming soon.

2010-02-07T05:55:00.000-08:00

With one week left till Valentines day,& with the cold and icy weather out side today, I wanted to post some photos of some original work done by Robbie,it will warm everyone up. I will be posting his work every day till next Sunday. Robbie is a 39 year old Downs syndrome adult that my Daughter Emily works with everyday. Robbie comes to our studio/storefront, and they create art. Robbie had developed his own technique and picks his own subject matter. Mainly he does hearts, hearts & more hearts. There was a week or two that he worked on squares but then he went back to hearts. Robbie picks all of the color combination's, it is his vision. Here are two, more tomorrow and all Thur the week.

More Snow!!

2010-02-04T21:14:00.000-08:00

With the snow finally gone and the cold alot less cold I went down to the
Va.Beach Convention Center today to take some jewelry to my new friend Bill. He has a booth "All That Glitters",in the Mid Atlantic Home & Garden Show. Everything was very beautiful. The All That Glitters booth was one of kind. This Show is very different from what I have seen in the past. I am hoping that there will not be snow this weekend, so I can see all the booths completely set up on Sunday!
