I think it’s been raining here for 10 days straight. My lawn looks like the Grinch who stole Christmas and I’d have mowed it a week ago had it been dry enough in these parts to pull-start the lawnmower.
Raining cats and dogs I’d say…it’s been tall socks and boots weather.
Things have been hot in the studio the past few days, regardless of the weather.
And this is some of what I have to show for those long hours:
15 rings
one bracelet
12 necklaces (7 more nearly finished on my work bench)
5 brooches
and half a belt buckle
[some of this jewelry will find it’s way to the Etsy shop on Monday]
Inventory for Missoula is looking up to par and I’m starting to relax a bit…
Having the mister home and the damp weather has made me happy to take a restful Sunday for myself. We’ve been spending today reading, baking and preparing dinner for a host of friends coming to Plume Gables this evening. I’m wearing my swankiest socks and RW will pull on his cowboy boots before the ladies and gents arrive.
IN CASE YOU NOTICED, YES, RW IS READING A BOOK FROM THE TWILIGHT SERIES. HE’S ADDICTED.
ALSO, YES, THOSE WALLS ARE SPONGE PAINTED MUSTARD YELLOW.. I CAN’T DECIDE WHAT COLOR TO REPAINT THIS ROOM…SO IT’S SPONGEY MUSTARD FOR NOW…
Happy Sunday to you birds.
SMOOCH,

Ohh that raindrop is so lovely… Its been rainy an awful lot here too; but today is looking clear, blue and promising. The sight of you and Mr Plume in bed makes me laugh; addicted to Twilight series too… Stay well, happy and smithing glorious things. I will watch your shop like a hawk!
I'm such a sucker for raindrops on plant life. especially with bokeh. Beautious!!!
and ohhhh how lovely that platter of jewels looks! I see a few things that I hope make their way into the shop for us birdies on Monday. 🙂
sending you love and a little sunshine from Cali!

Oh – love your knee high socks ad blue umbrella! Super cute! 🙂
What a pretty post in so many ways! A lovely, gorgeous raindrop, a plateful of Plume-a-liciousness (I love the drenching of Plume Jewels in one photo), you and RW companionably reading.
The Missoula Made attendees have no idea what a treat they're in for. Have buckets of fun!
P.S. – I think you need to do a book of your poetry, photography, and Plume Jewels. You provide inspiration in so many ways!
Glad to see the mister home safe and sound. Can't wait to see the new pieces.
It's been raining by the bucket-fulls here too! Just 3 weeks ago everyones lawns were a nice shade of um….burnt! Now everything is green, like Kermit Green! The trees are overfull, it's wonderful. My Friday night event was rained out, (+ 4 hours in the Studio) it rained all day Saturday (+15 hours!!!)and I was hoping it would be raining when we awoke today (no farmers market!?!) but alas it was sunny…only got 2 hours today. Oh how I wish for rain some days!
Have a great week and enjoy the Mister while you got 'em!
hehe
spongy mustard yellow sounds like a GREAT colour;). Also, i love the knee-highs. so great. And farley's looking handsome as usual..Tip's looking forward to a visit!
My goodness, you've been busy!
Can't wait to see what hits the shop shop!
Such a happy post! Yay!
Give RW a high five for me for making it all the way to Breaking Dawn. I almost didn't make it through all of them. I hope he likes the ending.
That tray of jewels looks simply wonderful. I'm so jealous of all of the ladies that get to walk up to your table and look at all your handiwork.
I've gotten at least 5 compliments on my new necklace, and I've worn it every day. Hope you had a fantastic weekend with your love!
You do have a pppplush lawn! Where are the gremlins hiding?
Happy Monday to you now.. : )
Concur on the raindrop photo – beautiful. Now, I found Farley and Penelope in the last, but cannot spot Pinkerton…
Do you have a booth location for Missoula? I'm making my way home from a work trip to CA – in Elko, NV for this work week and hope to roll up 93 right into the Zoo on Sunday afternoon – hopefully soon enough…
ann at beardogco dot com if you want to sent direct.
1st of all…LOVE your socks.
2nd…i also had an unhealthy obsession with the twilight series. i mean, i even bought the movie and have watched it 3 times.
3rd…that jewelry looks fabulous and i'm hoping to snatch something up this time around before it's all gone!
Can't wait to see the new work in the shop. A feast for the eyes and soul! Sure looks like a nice Sunday for you and RW.
love theglasses.
the jewelry is beautiful, but my favorite part of this post is your socks, hands down. I have sock-envy now.
i like your duvet.
sexy legs. sexy jewels. sexy reading RW.
