El Grande Updatito







The shop update for today is el grande updatito!
In a major way.
I’ve finished the jewelry I started on Tuesday:
6 Rings
1 Brooch
3 Necklaces
And I’ve just finished photographing said jewelry (240 photos).  It took, quite literally, a geological time period since the room I usually use to photograph jewelry is in the middle of being painted!  I had to use our tea room/entry way and it took me a while to figure out the new light source. 
RW is one primo primer and I’ve only managed to track paint throughout the house once.  A miracle really.  Penelope, on the other hand, looks like a pinto pony.  The room Robert is overhauling is the main living room.  It used to be a murderous hue of red with an orange ceiling.  It was a bit much even for this lover of color!  We’re painting it a light, dove belly grey and all the original moldings will be restored to a crisp white by the time RW is done with his paint brushes.  I’m looking forward to it, especially when it comes to relaxing in the evenings.  I used to have to leave the main light off in that room because the colors were too much of a shock to my pupils.
Can you believe it’s Wednesday?  I pedaled down to the Uni this morning for class
to find out it was cancelled.  I was somewhat glad about it since town was tremendously foggy this morning and it made for romantic bike riding.  I swooped about through the mist and picked up some groceries for a french toast feast with the Mister.  
He buzzed his head yesterday
and is looking rather svelte.

I’m off to finish my work day now,
then tacos for dinner
and then climbing until we can’t open and shut our hands any more
down at the climbing gym.

Top of the evening to you all,
PLUME

    Swoon.

    I just wrote a post about painting too — we just did all of the doors in our hallways in a lovely espresso brown. I’m in love. In love with the warmth.

    updatito?
    you are such a latina harlequin.

    i will expect to see your unibrow quite soon underneath the flowing mexicana skirts.

    great jewels, btw!

  3. You know, I should tell you I’m literally refreshing your shop page compulsively in case one of the rings is my size so I can snatch it. I went away for like 5 minutes and I missed one!

    Just means we all love and appreciate your work. 🙂 Lovely work today, Mrs. Plume. Truly beautiful.

    I’m also happy to hear about you and RW’s painting adventure. Enjoy your tacos!

    p.s. the word verification word is “nonson.” That makes me laugh.

    the only thing that makes the fact that the Lovely in Her Bones Ring has freaking sold al{freaking}ready is the fact that it would not have fit anyway.

    do you have fat finger discrimination!! 🙂

    Man, you are a busy gal. And I love the bison, I think that’s what it is. It’s cute. Of course I love everything else too.

  6. Help! I am weak in the knees after ogling those photos.

    Green & Purple… Purple & Green. If I had caught a glimpse of teal I might have fainted.

    Seriously.

  7. The Noisy Plume: says

    Oh!
    What color of teal:)

    SNORT!

    I know you are teal impaired M!

  8. Oh my goodness, I am drooling over the new pieces. I ALMOST bought the “green light of hope” ring (I am in serious need of hope at the moment) and knew I better decide quickly…and then someone bought it out from under me! I am sure they will love wearing it as much I would have. 🙂

    Mmm, tacos! Enjoy. And have a great evening!

  9. Aspen Wear says

    Forgot to say, I love the hat!

  10. gorgeous, as always. and i figure if i visit the shop right now, all this stuff has flown to new owners already. sigh.

  11. yep. i was right.

  12. The Noisy Plume: says

    Fawn: Ooh espresso brown. Sounds delightful! I’m in love with the overhaul…but not with the smell! Paint swiftly RW! Paint swiftly!

    Mme: “Latina Harlequin” GUFFAW! “Unibrow…” TEE HEE!

    Marina: I just enjoyed my tacos. Thanks for being so refreshing! HA HA!!!

    Mme: What? FINGER DISCRIMINATION??? Not here!

    LittleJeans: Well yes that IS a buffalo! I like him so well I might have to keep him.

    Aspen: Have you got the winter blahs? I pray not! You need to read that Courting Saskatchewan book. Pronto! It will surely lift your spirits!

    And the hat was a gift from RW this Christmas! Cute huh?

    She: *blush*
    Can you get on your phone now???

  13. JSL ——HOLY SMOKES GIRL YOU’VE DONE IT AGAIN. These pieces are nothing short of extraordinary and mouthwateringly beautiful. (is it weird that my mouth waters in response to the viewing of beautiful jewelry? i think no, particularly when i think of the term ‘eye candy’.) i said to steve after i looked at them ‘holy shit, jill has made some AMAZING new jewelry’ to which he replied ‘and this is different from normal….?’ and i said ‘i guess not’. so there. we both think you kick royal jeweler ass. the bison pin is WONDROUS. very prairie. very wanuskewin. should belong to me.

    love your creative noggin today

    I gotta tell ya – it is infuriating that as soon as I even find out you have new stuff in the shop – I go to look and it’s already sold!! BAH! I have a gift cert. that’s burnin a hole in my pocket! Oh well – I’m waiting for the perfect big chunky ring to spend it on and I guess that just means the right one for me hasn’t been forged yet! No hard feelins!

  15. The Noisy Plume: says

    yeah well I love your gluten free coffee cake lady friend:) you’re my favorite buffalo.

    2N’s:
    Lady. Send me a note. You need a ring. Pronto.

  17. Oh my how Sr. Buffalo turned out so fantabulous!!! Aces my dear.
    PS I happened to receive a certain package today from a certain someone and consider my pants peed.

  18. darling mrs. plume. the first time i realized that you were a climber, i nearly fainted! and once a squamish climber, at that! this just makes me adore you even more than i already do (which, mind you, is quite a heap!). i wear my ode to eccentricity necklace every day, and feel somewhat guilty for coveting more and more plumage. i cannot get enough.

    love!

  19. Wow, it’s really cut-throat out there for rings! Beautiful.

    By the way, I constantly receive compliments on the Selah Ring. It’s quite apart of me now.

  20. Oh Plumey! You’re my kind of gal!!! ♥♥♥

    You have been making some edible looking stuff – nom nom! And thank you for the actual edible stuff I actually get to eat 🙂

  22. That first light green one: very Buddhist, very lotus-like, Eastern Spiritualistic.

    Very nice Jillian.

  23. And it’s already gone…. THAT was fast!!

  24. Little Sparrows Nest says

    Heavens lovely lady, The accomplishments you manage to get done in a day would take me about a month if I had said talent! I am really loving the agate cocktail ring and have a reasonable crush on all items above… especially the buffalo with heart… all the bulls I know round here would be proud to have their lady wear that brooch:)

    Bien joué!
