Summer Catch Up

What a wonderful summer I have been having! The weather has been great and I have had the time to get out. Check out my Instagram for photos and to see what I have been up to, like my trip to the ROM, Center Island, Brickworks, and more. I know I have been missing from my blog, and I have been posting most of my photos on my Instagram page just because it has been a bit easier for me to keep up with.

I have been adding a lot of new product to my LOVE n LAVISH shop for back to school and gearing up for the busy Christmas rush. I also have been teaching myself a bit of metalsmithing, and my goal is to have some beautiful copper and silver rings made for you, and listed up in my shop for Christmas time. Check out my shop for my current stock.

I hope you have a great weekend and I thought I would share that I am going to be holding a Giveaway in the next day or two, so stay tuned!

What is your favorite healing stone and why?

Meow!

Ahh.. it's nice to be somewhat healthy again. I have an occasional sneeze here and there, but the Kleenex box isn't following me from room to room. I did have to go to work with it, and I was so exhausted yesterday that I took a 3 hour nap and woke up with a really bad headache. Then I watched a few old episodes of Game of Thrones, and went to bed at 11pm, which is really early for me. Today I feel good!

 So,today I was looking around for a cool gift for my cat Misha.She's pretty easy to please since she is just a cat. She really could use an id tag, but these were some cool gifts for your kitty that I thought I would share.

1. I do love the idea of this cat bed/home and hey, if you have an old Mac lying around and a cat who naps anywhere then here is a great project. If your not a DIY kind of girl then find this great idea by Atomic Attic , it's an Upcycled Apple Computer Pet Bed that they call Think Different.
 

2. Great personalized cat dishes by Sunshine Ceramics. You can get two custom made and personalized just for you kitties.

3. Bow Ties anyone? My cat might sport one, well I'm not too sure. If you have a really chill cat that would wear one of these with no fuss then check out Snoop Catty Cat for a tie,bow tie or even a tux.

 

 4. So this wouldn't work for Misha, but if you have a cat who loves to hang out in hard to reach places, then this wall bed is perfect. I love this idea and if my cat wasn't the type who likes to sleep in little nooks and cranny's then I would consider something like this wall mounted cat bed

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

Sunday Creating Time

Another rainy day.... and I hear there is more rain to come. I hope this storm that is coming is all blown out of proportion, and I am thinking that Toronto may just get a lot of wind and hard rain at the most. All of this inside time has given me a chance to add items to my two shops. I have added some new photos, made some edits, and Pinned on Pinterest this morning, like there is no tomorrow (yikes!). Check them out!

 1. Feather and Leaf Earrings see them here. Turquoise chips added to the first two feather earrings and the leaf earrings  have these amazing mint blue/green Czech glass beads.

2. Real Flower in Resin Necklaces see them here . I love the romantic look of the rose bud pendant, and the yellow wild flower fit perfectly for that shape of pendant. I love working with real flowers and plants.

3. Tribal Inspired Turquoise bead necklace worn my me and seen here. The purple Amethyst stone necklace has some of the most amazing shades of purple  (which isn't so easy to photograph) and a real earthy look which can be seen here.
