Gemstones and Abalone with a Necklace or Two
March is almost over, and it’s cherry blossom time. For me, this means several different things: my darling grand-daughter will be one year old, Washington will be inundated with tourists (and traffic) hoping to find the perfect confluence of blossoms, warm weather and sunlight to view what is truly one of Nature’s lovely sights, and I am a month closer to a trip to Africa

I have a terrible case of Spring Fever, made all the worse by allergies and being too busy to do almost anything other than work (and the allergies seem to make me sleepy – whatever I do I can’t seem to get enough sleep lately!). So those are my excuses for not posting for such a long time and for the brief post today. I’ve always liked cloisonne; I like to mix it with gemstones and with Swarovski crystals so the cloisonne becomes a focal point instead of the entire piece

After 55 inches of snow this year, a new record here in Washington, D.C./Arlington since 1899, it feels strange to think that it is almost March and that, despite the mounds of snow everywhere (there are still some large 5 -6 feet tall mounds) Spring is just around the corner! Spring means new jewelry – LOTS of new jewelry! And the Spring colours this year are wonderful, or at least I think so, probably because one of the biggest colours for Spring is my favorite – turquoise. Whether it’s called deep aqua, lagoon, or any other romantic name, turquoise is a wonderful colour that looks good on almost everyone; it is truly universally becoming. And if you are practicing a certain austerity lately, then a pop of turquoise, in a scarf, in jewelry (such as the apatite bracelet that you see above or the amazonite bracelet below) provides a touch of fashion that will enliven your spirit as well as your outfit

Actually we’ve had rather a lot of snow here in the Washington, D.C., Arlington area! I am loving it! The federal government has been closed for the third day in a row, and will be closed tomorrow. For the first time today, I looked out and saw that the major streets I live on had not been cleared – still haven’t

I think it is safe to say with the last couple of years behind us that all of America needs some serious debt and finance counseling. It has been so long since anyone in America has taught serious debt management, on a wide scale that we’ve forgotten how to get out of debt. We create more debt in an attempt to reclaim what we’ve lost thus perpetuating the cycle

I think one of the many things wrong with our educational system today is how under prepared teachers are. Lets face it with Twitter, Facebook, and texting our kids are getting information as fast as the speed of light, so why aren’t our teachers getting up to date relevant information constantly? Scholastic has help for those teachers who are struggling to keep up with their educational magazine teachers can keep up to date with the latest trends, and information on every aspect of education!

January’s weather has turned from snow to rain; I can’t wait for more snow! I am working (and have been on the new Spring jewelry for this year, and there’s something about a heavy coating of snow on the ground that is inspirational when it comes to jewelry. Meanwhile, I’ve also been getting ready for Valentine’s Day and working on a special page of earrings! Above are two bracelets featuring the Red Magma colour from Swarovski; I love this colour, a muted orangey red with a deep tone. The first is a silver bangle bracelet with Karen Hill Tribes tube beads and red magma crystals in the cosmic shape
