happy spring

Hey gang!

Happy Spring to you! Spring is a big deal here in Maine and you can't decide if you want to be happy, giddy and downright estatic, or just as annoyed as you've been all winter! I'm usually the giddy sort in spring. I've been outside everyday raking, and repiling the wood. Annoyance usually sets in because it is also "mud" season. I bought two new off white rugs at Pier One for this office. They are going to get rolled back up for the next couple of months. DOGS + MUD SEASON = DISASTER! YIKES!

I am definetly the type to spring clean. Right now I am cleaning out Junque Revival. To get me started, I opened a new Etsy shop! Now don't go getting your panties in a bunch.... Junque Revival is still my baby, and I'm keeping it! I thought Etsy would be a way to move some of the older pieces and give them a fresh audience. Besides, I'm addicted to shopping on etsy, so why not sell there too?? If you've been coveting anything at Junque Revival, you may want to visit my Etsy shop, as I've moved items over there and have LOWERED the prices!

I also seem to get those old creative juices flowing in the Spring. I've added these to the new etsy shop.....

JOY

JOY was created with Mother's Day in mind. I used copper wire, vintage amethyst, freshwater pearls, and as always, I made a mini collage from vintage images and ephemera.

PRECIOUS

You wont believe this, but as I was wiring up the freshwater pearls & black glass beads I was watching "Lord of the Rings"!!! SERIOUSLY!!

I just love this one! The wiring took me quite a while, as I used very fine guage sterling wire, and double wrapped each link for strength and durability. (besides...I love anything with a butterfly on it!!)

MOTHER'S GARDEN

This is one of those pieces that I just can't seem to get the photo right! It really is gorgeous on. Can you guess what the pendant was????

I hope you'll all swing by and take a gander!

As soon as I get Junque Revival cleaned out, and add some new items, I'll be sending out a newsletter. I'm thinking it's time for a contest....so sign up for the newsletter  over in the right hand column!!!!

I'd love to hear how spring inspires you! Leave me a comment and I'll come by your site to say hello!!
