new stuff, birthdays, snow, and valentines

i made some new pieces this week.

the mad magic necklace,
with gorgeous rose cut labradorite



and a lovely charles bukowski quote on the back.

the past, present, future ring,
with an amazing rose cut rainbow moonstone



the past is history.
the future is a mystery.
but this moment is a gift, 
which is why we call it the present.


a new resolve ring,
with a flashy green labradorite





the no doubt ring,
with a juicy green prehnite



the inside has a portion of the desiderata on it
no doubt ...the universe is unfolding as it should...


and a little rose quartz bud stack



i'll be listing these pieces in the etsy shop tomorrow.


in other news, juniper turned five.

do you remember the baby looney tunes show?  do you remember elmira?  "i'm gonna love him and squeeze him and hug him" as she tortured the animals with her love?  well, that would be junebug with olive.  my dear sister got her this t-shirt.  thank you, aunt traci!

june chose to have her birthday party at the rec center pool.


so fun!





happy birthday, darling five-year old.

and, we got a lot more snow all of a sudden, which delighted me.

i've been skiing almost every day.

come along with me.

and, in honor of valentine's day tomorrow, i'd like to introduce you to the sweet mourning doves that have lived in our tree since we first moved in.  they mate for life.  i hope that tomorrow you will be with someone you love doing something you love.
