**CLICK on the pictures to enlarge them to see the details...


This is a bracelet and earring set definitely for kitty lovers....

I am so excited with the arrival of a new jewelry line for The Ruffled Rose ....I have been busy all day with photographing and I am far from finished....

Our designer is a talented little gal from Texas who has studied jewelry design in college and with other artisans....she has a unique style all her own and a wonderful sense of the use of color and texture as well as design....she is a college student with hopes for a career in the medical field....


Yes, she is one of my beloved Granddaughters....and each piece of jewelry she creates is a One Of A Kind Original!





This bracelet is so cute!!!!! It is full of beautiful beads in all the Halloween colors with Swarovski crystal beads and aren't the earrings sweet? You can wear them when Halloween is past.....

The lampwork beads on this bracelet are A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!


As I said, I am just beginning the long process of taking pictures of the large shipment of bracelet and earring sets as well as a few pretty key chains, so I invite to stop by the The Ruffled Rose often to see what is in The Trinket Box...In The Armoire to see this beautiful collection....


Busy As A Bee...

~Pastry Stand With Faux Cake~Fresh Out Of The Oven~

Here is what I have been doing the last few days....I love it as I think of it as "therapy" for getting away from the mundane of everyday....And, you should see the kitchen....it is as messy as if I were really baking!!! lol!




I found some dessert or pastry stands with the cloche lids a while ago and the weather has cooled off so I could finally do some faux baking....If it is hot with the humidity we have here so close to the lake, it takes forever for them to set up, so I wait for the cool days....I don't like to put them in the oven as they just form up nicer if air dried.

I love making the clay roses and I think these turned out pretty....I have been making them in the evening as I find it so relaxing....
This Pastry Stand comes with the piece of cake and can be found on my website.

The piece of cake on the sweet little dessert can also be found on my website..perfect for so many places in the Cottage home and a wonderful little gift for someone special...




Back to baking....

Hearts A Flutter....

This is my newest piece with ribbon embroidery.....It has over 2/3 cup of fragrant lavender buds tucked inside in its own mesh pouch....a rhinestone dangle that is a vintage earring....three gorgeous vintage buttons and my silk ribbon roses...it can hang, from its 1" lovely varigated pink and green silk ribbon bow or it can rest next to your bed, on a dresser, a shelf..........

Hope your day is perfect in all ways!

~The Fun Of It All~

My Powder Jar, listed at The Ruffled Rose, was featured, with other lovely vintage jars, in the September issue of Romantic Homes....It is a sweet feeling to be featured in a top magazine and the lady that purchased the jar is thrilled as well.



We, also, have our first ad with Shabby Cottage Shops in this issue, so it is sweetness times two...




There is a soft breeze and rain, my favorite kind of day. What a wonderful way to start the week....
