One thing I have been wanting to add to my shop is simple gemstone pendants so the stone is the star!
These are my first additions including riverstone, rhodonite, black onyx, fancy jasper, white howlite, turquoise howlite (dyed) and mahogany obsidian. They will come with a black cord.
So I dangled amethyst in front of the message with sparkling sterling silver. I love the result and now feel inspired to create more necklaces like this!
I also cooked with coconut oil for the first time. We recently purchased a huge vat of organic coconut oil to use as a moisturizer but then a bloggy friend sent me this recipe from Sweet Potato Soul. It called for coconut oil!
They are roasted with coconut oil, paprika, cinnamon and cayenne pepper. Sweet and spicy!!!
Well that's it for now. Still waiting for Spring! Thank you for stopping by and have a great week. ~Val

Love the new pendants. I seem to be drawn to simpler designs for necklaces and these are just perfect.

Those pendants are so pretty! Wait! You're cooking and moisturizing with the same stuff??
ReplyDeleteNice necklace and I bet your pendants will be popular. Those sweet potatoes look very good!
ReplyDeleteThe skull lanyard is awesome!
ReplyDeleteMy first comment got lost! Anyway, what I was saying is that I love the new stones! As for the inspiration necklace, I haven't sent it yet because she just got the last package I sent her (unfortunately it took 2 weeks!). So I'll be sending it soon because I like to send her things once a month. I love it and I know she will. I love it so much that I'll probably order another one (with a different color stone) down the road so I could have one too! We like to wear matching jewelry on the same days sometimes, especially if one of us needs a "lift." Sounds silly but it's meaningful for us :)
ReplyDeleteThanks again! I can't wait to send the necklace off to her!
