Well here it is, Tuesday, and I’m finally ready to update the shop! It’s been a struggle making things this week with a serious shortage of sterling silver here at Plume Gables. I’ve got my fingers crossed that my material shipment will arrive today (I’m getting a finger cramp, they’ve been crossed for a few days now) and I’ll be able to tie up the last of the loose ends before I leave for Chicago tomorrow (YAY). Yesterday consisted of finishing up projects that I’ve had on my studio bench for months, the results are pretty and will be high-heeling their way to the Etsy shop in just a few minutes!

Among the pretties is this fantastic knuckle ring composed of petrified wood (in beautiful springy hues) and sterling silver. It bridges three fingers and is sassy as can be!
I’ve also got some charming little necklaces for you as well as another ring that I think you’ll be smitten as kittens with.
It dumped snow here yesterday. We woke up to a quiet blanket of the white stuff and so it’s back to wool socks and layered bundling. DRAT. I was ready for flirty skirts and flippy-doos. Oh spring, I know you’re just playing hard-t0-get, but I’m not going to give up on you anytime soon! I’ve got perseverance and faith that you’ll come around to stay!
It’s one foot in front of the other
when you march to a tune like mine.
And then a leap.
And a bound.
And a twitch of the nose.
It’s off to Illinois tomorrow
and I’ll see you all when I come home!
Tail feathers and windy wings,
The Plume
I live in Chicago! North side. I should have invited you to have tea and you could have given me my wee lapis ring in person. 😉
Do you need any recommendations for places to eat? Things to see? Etc., etc.?
Arrived just in the nick of time…love the new pictures (and the old ones too) and the ring…oh, it be sassy alright!
Have a splendid time in Chicago!

Oh my WORD! I didn’t even finish reading this post yet but I saw your long horizontal ring in the picture and I had to tell you that I almost made one of those today!!! I was getting ready to solder the ring band on and at the last minute changed my mind and turned it into a brooch.
Can’t WAIT till this evening… 🙂
Bon voyage! 🙂

Phew! LOVE your blog header pic!! Gorgeous!
The rings are pretty snazzy too 😉
if you are off to Illinois, you should really be listening to Sufjan Stevens ‘C’mon feel the Illinoise’
it’s a treat to the ears
I think you should get a temporary tattoo of that on your hand! Lovely typography, if I may say.
Enjoy your trip! I’m so jealous you’ll be in Chicago! Take some windy pictures and travel safely!
