It makes me wonder as I change cake plates, platters, spoons, forks, bowls and other dinnerware into one of a kind jewelry, who held these utensils and who attended the dinners where this beautiful dinnerware was once used. Many of this intricate dinnerware was around before electricity, cars, and electronic devices that ring, buzz, and beep during mealtime. Perhaps by wearing a piece of history one will be reminded to take a breath and slow down...if even for only a moment.

Sisterly Love
One of our dear friends is going to make a big change in her life. My close friends and I will support her through this the best we can. Sometimes I can't always find the right words to say in times like these so I created this piece of jewelry for her.
It's called," The key to a broken heart is to love again one day".
Time is a healer...

Commissioned pieces
I have been working on some pieces that were commissioned by a friend. Some are Birthday gifts, some are for Christmas. The little girls that will be receiving these have interests ranging from horseback riding to drama. I am fortunate to have free reigns so to speak to create these special pieces. I really like commissioned work, and I am really pleased with how these turned out.
Enjoy,
Mixed Metal Mimi
