I am so tired ...
I need to go to bed, but .. I just can't.
So I'm up shopping for swimsuits, LA residences and jewelry supplies.
I've also been thinking about a fast more and more.. so I know it's time.
I refused to rush myself. I knew when the time was right, it would just happen.
The fiancee wants to start with a master cleanse. So we'll do that first. I also wanna try a raw food fast, and a juice/water fast.
Have any of you ever participated in a fast? How did you like it?

...on the 7th day
..she still doesn't rest.
I've had a pretty low key Sunday, despite all the work I've completed.
I made some sweet chili shrimp and pasta,
and a casserole w/fresh mozzarella, spinach, bell peppers and pesto!
That way I can spend the evening focusing on my RIDICULOUS to-do list.
My goodness!
In between filling orders today, I stopped to make a couple of new things.
It breaks up the monotony :)
Check out my updated "fuse" earrings, and a newer version, solely with ankhs.
All stones are garnet, the hooks are brass!
Each pair is about 5" and super lightweight!



you know where to go :)

Keep On Movin', Don't Stop Nooooo...
Today PeaceImages passed 1000 sales on etsy.
I'm trying to figure out some kind of way to show my appreciation
to everyone who helped us get to this point.
For now, I'll just say thank you :)
Thank you for believing in me,
for being cool with me when I made mistakes,
for suggesting ideas,
for facebook comments,
RT's, etc.
I am so thankful, and I'm having the time of my life.
And although we've started migrating over to our new website,
our presence on etsy will continue to grow :)
Thank you ...
Today, I posted this one of a kind "peace..."

It incorporates solid, chunky vintage brass chains,
vintage pearls from my grandmother,
glass teardrops and coral.
We ain't goin' nowhere!

Loves.

It’s crazy how you can get yourself in a mess sometimes and not even be able to think about it with any sense and yet not be able to think about anything else.

Back Chains....
Summer is coming.
For me that doesn't mean short-ass
cootchie-cutter shorts.
I have far too much thigh for that.
It also doesn't mean skimpy
crop-tops.
...because I prefer my sexiness
to be a bit more subtle.
Tank tops w/ soft materials
that give you chills
when a summer breeze blows by...
Shirts with deep v's in the back ...
wraps skirts.
I created these back chains that clip on your straps in the back
with long feathers on the end for accent.

I'm feeling better now :)
That means a hectic next few days of playing catch up on orders, custom orders, new business, etc.
I've added some newness to the lineup :)
And I'm thankful that I feel healthy enough to do so.
All are available now, on my NEW website!

a custom pair of feather earrings for the SATC II premier.
throwing your own party? would you like a bold pair of feathers
to harness your inner Samantha?
holla!


a vintage earring... repurposed.

Afghani glass gifted to me by a dear friend in Thailand,
gold coral sticks, brass.
How sick are these? I've been visualizing them for over a month.
I'm glad I was able to pull them from my brain,
and put them in my hands.

R.I.P. Lena Horne

the bad little red girl...

with her daughter...
“The whole thing that made me a star was the war,” Ms. Horne said in the 1990 interview. “Of course the black guys couldn’t put Betty Grable’s picture in their footlockers. But they could put mine.”
