Simple Wisdom Collection

This summer, I am working on creating a collection of necklaces that are a bit different than my usual styles. The pieces are more casual, everyday styles. (Which also means they're less expensive.) I have always been fond of jewelry and art pieces with inspirational words or phrases. As I thought about how to broaden my horizons with my jewelry, this seemed like a fitting direction.

Introducing the debut style of the Simple Wisdom Collection, the Love Necklace.

This style is currently available with your choice of a blue or a purple heart. This particular piece features a striking cobalt blue plastic heart charm, which has been paired with a silver plated "love" charm and a single white glass pearl bead. The pendant is strung on a single strand of icy blue seed beads.

Coming up next in the Collection will be the Dream Necklace. I am targeting the release of the Dream Necklace this coming weekend. So, stop in, mark some favorites and come on back in a few days to see the next style.

Everything I need to know in life

...can be learned from Dr. Seuss!!

Recently, my 4 year old has become obsessed with Dr. Seuss books. (Gee...can't imagine why!) As I sit and read them to my children time and time again, something is becoming clear. That Dr. Seuss sure did know what he was talking about!!

"You have brains in your head,
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose!"

~ Dr. Seuss
Oh the Places You'll Go
