Copper Buri Blues

Wow, November already.. my countdown has started to my birthday. I love my birthday..funny how I seem to need a reason to celebrate life... well this is my day to celebrate my life... and counting.. down..

I heard yesterday that the aggressive little fox was captured and will be transported out of town to the woods. He had been chasing people.. obviously someone must have been hand feeding him, as he has no fear of humans. Poor little beast. I hope he will be okay in the woods as he is a town fox. He may find his way back here.

A new listing on Etsy for me this morning. I guess most of my pieces have an earthy feel to them, even the one I think are elegant. Earthy elegant... maybe it has its place.

copper buri blues

Copper chain, with gorgeous pale blue freshwater pearls, and reddish brown buri beads. I had to do some research after I got these buri beads, as they are wood, but they sure feel like plastic .. they are made from palm tree seeds. They really are wood and not plastic.

Birthdays!

I am getting ready to leave on a mini vacation. I have found life this past year a little stressful and more than sad. My moms sister, my Aunt Dimp is turning 80 next weekend. I was planning on traveling with my mom to celebrate her birthday. After the death of my friend last week, I decided to book a flight to London ON and visit my daughter and help her celebrate her 24th birthday. I will leave from there and travel by the trusty Greyhound and go to Sudbury to celebrate Dimp's birthday. I get to visit lots of family there!

I leave here on Saturday, and fly out early Sunday morning. I am very excited to see Megan  and Jordie, Space Cat the Space Pirate, and Inspector Carl, their new female puppy. 

I made this pretty pearl necklace for my Aunt, I hope she will love it!

Mauve, peacock purple, and light olive green freshwater pearls spaced with a bright purple seed bead!

I will be back home around the end of July!
