November 2009-New Season

Harry and me at home on a Fall day.

This is from one of our Sunday rides at my friends indoor. Harry is getting used to his saddle and is so free in the shoulders and having fun, it was almost hard not to collapse in laughter! His topline has developed radically since using this saddle. Truly a WOW experience!

I'm really excited about this season. The last four weeks it seems as though I've been on the road forever. First it was the jewelry convention in Providence, RI. I had a great time, sold lots of my designs, and vintage jewelry and brought home some new tools and stones.

I was able to stop and visit with my niece Muriel in Wallingford, CT twice! She's getting started with making some jewelry, and has a great eye!

Here are some shots of my VFCJ Convention table and my friends.

Linda Kripke from CA and me at the Saturday night dinner. I'm wearing a necklace and earring I made from Fine Silver, Copper and Brass. My other jewelry is shown here:

Some of my jewelry I had at the VFCJ Sale.

Ruth Kampke, Head Designer for Eisenberg Jewelry was our Surprise Guest~I was thrilled to spend some time with her and talk about her work. She's a lovely lady- smart and sharp as a tack.

Here is a close up of the set I'm wearing for the Saturday night dinner. Everything is made by hand, cut from sheets of Fine Silver, Copper and Brass, formed, forged, rivetted and took me about six weeks. Most of it came from making sure the design was wearable and all worked together.
