My new favorite dry skin busters...


I am a self proclaimed product junkie and like to try new things. I have used Dove products before but didn't enjoy them as much as I enjoy these new finds. I think I may be in love with the Dove Cream Oil shower wash and body lotion. The body lotion has shea butter and both the shower wash and lotions smell so yummy! They certainly soothe my dry skin.

Do you have a dry skin buster that you can't live without?

You Capture: Circles



We have had this You Are Special Red Plate for many years hanging out in our china cabinet and I am not sure what we are saving it for. I pulled it out and explained to Will that it is to be used by a special guest or to celebrate a special occasion and Will declared that it is to be used every day by him. {At least the kid has confidence.} And this chocolate cupcake was so good it doesn't even need frosting, the entire batch is long gone!

One thing I know for sure is that we should be using this plate more often!

Heart Garland....



Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays because it is all about the pink and red. I created this heart garland with some card stock and scrap pink fabric it was so simple a kid could make it. I think the simplicity is what I love about it. All you need to do is cut out some hearts and string them together it is that simple!

Do you decorate for Valentine's Day?

Lisa D'Agostino Jewelry

There are times when we feel like wearing
 lacy, light, ethereal types of jewelry. 
There are other times when we don't.
That's when we seek an adornment
that evokes a bolder, edgier statement.

A lovely example of a metalsmith
who creates jewelry with this type of
edgy, contemporary
presence is Lisa D'Agostino.
Her signature handcrafted pieces
are created by using
multiple techniques to achieve
multiple effects.
This artist incorporates many techniques into each
piece using a variety of metalsmithing tools.
Shapes are fabricated with sterling silver or18k gold
and manipulated in various ways.
Some parts might be distorted through the
rolling mill achieving interesting effects.
Some surfaces are textured with the use of tools, 
or fused with silver dust or 18K yellow gold.
And she explores various combinations of matte
and polished surface areas to give us
an end result that is bold
 and imaginative.

Here are a few examples of our favorites.

We love these deceptively simple earrings.



And this bangle simply exudes strength and determination.





 

We are inspired by the many aspects
present in this pendant.




 

This bracelet is a veritable
smorgasbord of variety.
It showcases her
range of techniques
exquisitely.






 
This artist's work satisfies that need
for variety and detail.

Each detail adds something magical to the
edginess of the designs.

Each design is bold and imaginative.

Enjoy!
