hahaha. my hubby found me on linkedin. must've done that one night after margaritas as i do not remember it! lol but, i polished my profile and am very pleased. want to know more about this chickie girl, go here. lol then he came home and i overhauled his.

~oops!

i tripped on the sidewalk. was putting my phone away as i was rushing to my car. didn't see the transition. flew ass over tit. ok, not really, but that was fun to say. just flew and hit my head on the pavement. a few more inches and i would've been in the traffic lane, as i landed between two cars, one being mine.
i am thanking my lucky stars. but concussion confirmed. two days later my eyes suddenly went black and blue. now it is in my jaws, but the doc says it's normal. gonna freak out my students more than so far! the poor babies just kept staring at my forehead and eyes. i didn't stay long at work. too hard to focus and too hard to listen. so out of it, but this shall pass. in the mean time i managed to eek out a few thing, but i gotta tell ya, it hurt and went painfully slow. not my usual top speed. bleh!
but, on the upside, i breath and breath and thank you for breathing too!

new today. the perfect gift.

gifties, mercury glass & numinosity love~

happy holidays to one and all! met up with kim of numinosity fame. her fame. her glory. her smile and exuberant self. all here, all mine for one night. had a great din-din with family (her's and mine) then off to the cowgirl for drinks and some live music~didn't get to see much of the band, but certainly heard the excitement! i think she went back after tucking me in. <3

been playing with mercury glass from an old fifties garland that i scored through a vintage handmade shop on etsy.

not easy to work with. very fragile. i definitely smashed and chipped a few in the process of exploration.

these ones i really dig and will be gifted to a vintage loving friend for christmas. the little rosary components are from the paris carousel also of robyn paris and her french circus.

these ones have lovely little shell buttons from penny of fagins daughter and sparrow salvage fame

a departure for a moment. little discs and antique buttons also of fagins daughter. love the crisp blue of the tags. large holes allowed for the buttons shanks to pop through and nestle on the other side awaiting the ear wires. fun, fun.

now for gifties. my students spoiled me with cookies, chocolates, adornments and other goodies, but i wanted to share the handmade lovelies. shell heshi and turquoise. made by the mommy of a student.

malachite and assorted stone christmas trees made by the dad of one of my little bunnies.

a leather beaded cradle board neck piece with a little baby inside. wore this all day! made by the grandmother of an always-smiling little girl.

back to the mercury glass. forgot about these ones. by my hand and made for me for christmas eve. we have an open house every year with fire, fire, fire. a bonfire at the end of the drive. farolitos all over and a fiery hula-hoop dancing friend of mine. <3

 Cheers!
