Happy Thankfulness:::

  In preparation for my upcoming tunk show at Tallulah:: 
this little lovely is appropriately named
Tantric Priesttress, she has evolved through my growing collaboration with my extremely talented Sister; Debby Anderson
Debby created the pendant on this piece - the back has the lords prayer etched beautifully across it
   I added her to my draped bohemian chandelier necklace
the top chain is showcasing a Catholic Lourdes medallion
"Athena" 
beautiful carved Mother with Baby with silver solder pendant
also created by Debby Anderson
all of these pieces are available for purchase, they are part of the collaborative collective named Kindred Spirits
When you purchase from Art Takes a Village you are providing the beauty of art to those in need

My Hearts a Flutter

    I recently moved to Healdsburg Ca- it is rich with art, amazing food, fabulous hiking and super yummy shopping
Upon exploring downtown Santa Rosa I happen to come across Carolina & Co

a beautiful boutique filled with all my hearts desire, the shop owner Carol Prezel is super fun, its obvious she has found her niche
being a ribbon fanatic i couldn't help but squeal at her selection

 The shop offers custom embroidery as well, wich can be found on their website
             The larger striped ribbon is made from fabric - beautiful body and color:::
i couldn't pass up the Bee ribbon, too fun 
Happy Valentines Day
