MISS MINNETTE CHOSES HER NEW YEAR OUTFIT............



I've posted before about my dress form....Miss Minnette...... She has been busy choosing her outfit for New Year's Eve.

She is an accessory gal like me and so she always goes for those that have a little bling and are a  little different.  This year she has chosen the pendant necklace you see above.


She never goes anywhere without her pearls and she does love to pile on the accessories.

The pendant you see above was made by MOI.....using soup can lids and junk jewelry.  Yes......I said soup can lids....oops....I guess there is a chewing can tobacco lid in their too. (O:    Oh.....and an old pop bottle cap is what the bling sits on...


Here is a shot of the back.  I'm taking a class in making Jewelry from JUNK.....oh boy....do I ever love it.


It is being taught at the Shemer Art Center in Phoenix....
This piece may be a little much for many of you....but I do like distinctive jewelry pieces.

I actually planned this piece to be worn with the jacket you see here.  Notice the button detail and how it ties in with the  necklace.

Anyway....I think Miss Minnette will be the bell of the ball.....  SHE LIKES THAT!!
teehee

Let's all have a blingie day.....(O:

    Man, that Miss Minette sure does have good taste! Love her outfit, I am positive she will be the belle of the ball and have her card all filled out for every dance.

    And I so want to join your jewelry class! Love that piece you made! Wish I could stumble upon a class just like that in Minneapolis.

    Have a wonderful New Year's Eve!

    The velvet jacket is to die for...
    and that necklace is perfect with the jacket.

    The lace cami and the roses add the right amount of femininity.

    She will be the belle of the ball.

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
