I had such a lovely time gifting away last week it was not only so wonderful to give gifts but to remember a time that was not only profound but everlasting in all of hearts and minds.
It has taken me a wee bit of time to decide what route to take with the jewelry I created for my book however, I feel it is now time for the pieces to move on. Each piece I created was done so not only with a specific tale in mind but also for very specific wearable purposes. Pearls, and rhinestones beads and bezels were all carefully selected and searched out for a good bit of time before they found their way into compositions.
Today I took the first step into sharing these with the world in a grander way than on the pages of my book by placing a few in my Etsy Shoppe. While a few will remain with me as they are truly to personal to part with, it is my hope you find joy in those I have listed and those that will be listed very soon.
On a side note tomorrow is the BIG day we journey 13.1 miles, feet donned with sneakers and body covered in wick away material. Stay tuned I am sure I will have a tale to tell.
I Love TheHIVE


I wish you all the luck in the world on your marathon. You've trained hard! You deserve that finish line!!!
...and the "wicking" gear is a great idea...that, or an umbrella??? :-)
Cheers!

How lovely Kristen! I can see an attachment to your stories and the jewelry you've created. How moving to part with some, but keep the ones you treasure~ This has a healing quality about it!
I'm sending you good wishes for tomorrow! I hope it is a wonderful day, with great weather, great camaraderie and perhaps will inspire another one of your creations or lead you down another creative path! Good Luck!!! I'm cheering for you~xXx
