Spring Bling for Your Ears

I found these gorgeous earrings at Elements by Dawn. I love basic geometry designs, and Dawn's obsession with circles, spheres, disks, and symmetry is expressed throughout her designs. She also has lovely bracelets and necklaces--so click on over and have a look--but it's her earrings that really got my attention.

Wrap Your Hair Like a Goddess

Aly of KreativeMindz says that wearing one of these hair wraps makes her feel like a goddess--and she hopes that they'll have the same effect on you! I love the variety of colors and patterns she has available, and they come with step-by-step instructions for wrapping as shown in the photos. The wraps are versatile, and can also be worn as a sash, scarf, or long, trailing headband. The perfect thing to add a splash of color, or to camouflage a bad-hair day.


The Retro Goddess Wrap, $18


Speckled Goddess Wrap, $18


Black Velour Goddess Wrap, $20

Hope for Whirled Peas

I'm trying not to miss posting too many days, but with our upcoming move and closing the extra eBay store in addition to normal daily life stuff I'm pretty frazzled. Finding That's Headley! Jewelry Designs was enough to make me slow down and enjoy a minute of calm and peace, or I guess I should say peas. Although this artisan has a lovely and somewhat varied collection of jewelry, it was the Whirled Peas that caught my attention. Not only are these pieces lovely to wear and very affordable, a donation to an organization that supports families of injured military personnel, the Fisher House Foundation, is made for each purchase, and these pieces ship at no extra cost. It doesn't get much better than that!

And the Winner is . . .

Robin of My Melange! Check out her blog for a fabulous spaghetti carbonara recipe and mini-lessons in Italian. I packed Robin's dichroic pendant today and will take it to the post office tomorrow. I hope you all had a wonderful time at the Ultimate Blog Party 2008! I blog-hopped until my eyes went bleary, and I'm looking forward to doing it again next year. I'm already starting to plan what prize to offer!
