My Favorite Stone

Of all the stones I see on the beach, this one is my favorite.
Some of you Vineyarders will recognize it no doubt .

Sadly, I can't take this one home with me...probably a good thing for everyone :)

Symbols of the Sea

Here for you, the ultimate beachcomber's earrings.

I could easily spend an entire day wandering a long stretch of (deserted, please)beach, searching for the little treasures it gives up to me-a shell, a striped stone, and once a perfectly whole perfectly frosted blue marble. There is something about the looking, the sound of the waves and the solitude I just can't get enough of.



Peaceful and Inspiring.

Finally!! My rings are here! These were a vision, of sorts, and I am pleased to present them to you now. This project combines my love of rings (I have been wanting to have rings in my shop for an eternity it seems...) with my love of words and the way they can affect me, and hopefully you, too. I wanted the quotes on the rings to be especially for the wearer, so they are a bit of a secret. By all appearances, these appear to be very pretty rings with colorful groups of stones.

When you turn your hand over, however, you will find a message, a reminder, a direction perhaps. Just for you to see and no one else.

This one here is the quintessential summertime ring. With a quote I have used many times. It is from a part of an Emerson poem and goes:
"...live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air..."
It always feels more appropriate to me in summer, especially here on the Vineyard.

More rings with varied gemstones and secret messages are here. Enjoy!

(p.s.-rings are a nice substantial sterling band which won't get bent out of shape :)

Happy Fourth!

This picture was taken last summer on the Fourth here on the Vineyard. Today is an equally beautiful day to go out and celebrate freedom-enjoy!
