Steamy Necklace
Just listed this one on my Etsy shop; it's definitely my fav. necklace ever!!! I made it for the AGC Awards a couple weeks ago, & wore it with my ruffly red dress & black boots; I loved the mechanically element of the necklace with the sparkles : ) Got lots of great compliments on it... I was going to keep it, but decided to go ahead & list the set in my shop....

Etsy Shop
Well, all of a sudden the Etsy shop is doing really well!!! I'm thrilled to be making some sales & shipping my jewelry all over the country; this morning I shipped a couple necklaces out to Brooklyn, NY!
If anyone out there is thinking of purchasing for Christmas; better do it soon!! My supply is dwindling, & time is running short....I will deliver for free to anywhere in the Boise area; just let me know when you order & I'll take the shipping charges off.... www.refinerii.etsy.com
My jewelry is also available in town at: The Black Pearl in Eagle & Foxtrot Style in downtown Boise. Both stores have a nice selection of necklaces, earrings, & pins & they will box them up for gift giving!!
In Bellevue: check out my collection at the Green Antelope, & if you're in McCall, stop in at the ArtiZen & talk to Judy; she'll show you around the store & point out all the stuff I have there, including new jewelry :) Happy Shopping!

Holiday Decor (on the cheap)
Composted the remaining pumpkins today & made a cute holiday display for the entrance to the house: been meaning to for a week now, I was feeling a bit out of season with my pumpkins still out!! Sad to see them go, though: fall is my fav. time of year & I love pumpkins!
In years past, I always went to the store for some small evergreen trees/shrubs for the planters, but this year I decided to use what I had at hand.... After trimming off the dead stuff, I filled the planters up with light green pebbles & went gathering all the aluminum skwigglys I could find....this took me all around the garden, in the garage, in the house, & I considered thieving some from the next door neighbors that I gave them this summer; but in the end I restrained myself & had plenty anyhow... :) I scrounged up some copper coated stick things too, along with a few other items...
I love using the type-writer keys in planters; they have been in for spring, summer & fall--I'm liking the contrast of the black against all the light colors.....

Glass rod things that came off an old, ugly chandelier....
A wooden snowflake---I think this is the only traditional type holiday thing I used this year (besides lights)
Ornaments I made from salvaged aluminum wire: I have a ton of them; so I couldn't resist hanging a few off the lights : )

I also added some white lights to one of the sculptures out front; tacky, I know, but I couldn't help myself... The house looks pretty good, I must say & I didn't spend a dime :) Just a bit of time & digging around in the attic for the lights :)

AGC Awards
Tonight, Kevin & I attended the AGC (Associated General Contractors) awards....just thought I'd share some pics---I felt like the belle of the ball in my red ruffly dress... You can't see in the pic, but it actually is short in the front; when I walk; you can see my boots!! Note the boot pic; I made over a pair I
already had with organza ribbon for laces & glitter on the heel. And, I wore bright red extensions in my hair; a first for me & lots of fun! I made the award trophies & also donated pieces for the silent & live auctions.... All in all, it was a fun night. Will upload pics later of the necklace I made to go with the dress....
