Glueck, A Good Luck Charm

You know how some people have their lucky bowling shirt, or carry a lucky coin in their pocket? This little fellow has got to be the most unusual good luck charm I've seen. Named "Glueck," which means luck in German, he's about 5" tall and 5" wide. Handcrafted from polymer clay over a wire frame, you can get him at NothingLikeIt. That shop cracks me up, so have a good look around while you're there. Check out the NothingLikeIt blog, too--it's always good for a grin!

Eu nao fala portugues

"I don't speak Portuguese," is one of the few Portuguese phrases I know, and I'm not entirely positive I've spelled it correctly. Thankfully beauty knows no language barriers, and my visit to ContasBrasil's shop left me wanting to hop on the next flight to Rio.


The Green/Lavanda Fields necklace is one of my favorites.



I am amazed at the detail in this handcrafted Myong Doll Bag. I can't imagine the number of hours this must have taken, and I feel inspired to try my hand at something more intricate than normal.
