I recently made a plain strand of crystal quartz for a customer so I decided to make one for my shop too!
Crystal quartz is a powerful stone associated with spiritual development, healing and raising consciousness. It resonates with the third eye and crown chakras.
I made another custom Live Your Dream necklace featuring snowflake obsidian!
More skull lanyards were shipped out for an upcoming Monsters of Rock cruise.
Jim made some delicious vegetarian Shepherd's pie. The "meat" is a combo of lentils and mushrooms in a delicious homemade tomato sauce. We put cheese on everything that it goes with.
I received this card for grandpa's upcoming 100th birthday this month!
The fun milestone card is from Daizy Blue Designs on Etsy.
Thank you for stopping by! It still doesn't feel like Spring yet but this weekend is supposed to warm up. Fingers crossed! ~Val
Quartz crystal is always an intriguing necklace ~ so much subtle beauty in there. Plus it goes with everything ;-) That and your Live Your Dream necklace are so pretty! The veggie shepherd's pie looks deeelicious! Whenever you post food, I want to show up on your doorstep with a bottle of wine. Happy Birthday to your Grandfather! It is staggering and thought provoking to see those numbers on the card.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your grandpa! That is awesome! I love the ethereal quality of crystal quarz!
ReplyDeleteThe veggie shepherd's pie sounds delicious. Do you know where I can find the recipe?
Have a great weekend!
100 years - just awesome! i love gems and crystals. i used to read about them and collect them years ago, but have gotten away from it for quite a few years.
ReplyDeleteStunning lanyard! I'm coming to your house for dinner one of these days. =)
ReplyDeleteHi Val,

You have been very busy with those skulls lately, haven't you? Love the card for Grandpa. What a milestone birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Grandpa! I would love to sit in a room with him and listen to all his stories. Can you just imagine what he's seen in his life? He's lived through prohibition, the big band era, the introduction of rock and roll, and so many other things. Can you imagine the first telephone he ever talked on? This is just so fascinating!
ReplyDeleteI love your top necklace but I really love my custom "Live Your Dream" necklace. I can't wait til Elyse gets the other one you made!
Beautiful necklace Val. Crystal quartz goes with everything! That Shepherd's Pie looks so delicious.
