Ring Love

I'm a big fan of delicate, whimsical rings. Unfortunately I have yet to dive into the world of metalsmithing, but I look forward to the possibility of one day creating some beautiful rings of my own. In the mean time I thought I'd share some of my favorites!

The first three rings are all designed by Alex Monroe who has the most amazing, whimsical line of jewelry you could ever dream of! Alex Monroe is by far my favorite jewelry designer and I would totally die to have a small collection of his work some day. While I absolutely adore everything he designs, his rings are some of my favorites. They are delicate but have such a unique, eye-catching whimsy!



I am also very fond of slim, simple stack rings. I love the look of a sleek, hammered ring. Stack rings are fabulous as you can wear one, a few, or many! I love the way they look when different metals and finishes are paired together.

Cream Candy

Video from here.

This is what I did last night. I made my first ever batch of pulled cream candy! It's so delicious and I can't wait to make it again. I am already thinking ahead to next Christmas and mailing all my friends and family Christmas cards and a little tin of homemade cream candy and caramels.

Also, I may be getting this camera and this macro lens. Nothing set in stone yet, but that would just be grand! At the moment, however, I am still without camera. Thus no photos of my delicious candy to share.

Catching Up

I'm so sorry I've been so absent from the blog lately! Life has gotten a little crazy, to say the least. I am terribly sad that I got so sidetracked and didn't completely my Twelve Days of Christmas. Business was wonderfully booming right up until Christmas and I stayed busy with sales from the shop and custom orders that came in until the very last minute! Unfortunately I worked myself into a nice cold/sinus infection and was ill before, during, and after Christmas. I'm mostly all better now, thankfully.

Life has still been rather hectic since the New Year. I have so much going on at the moment. I was hoping to update the shop with new items over this week; however, it seems my poor little camera is broken! I'm not really sure what's wrong with it really (it's a long story). I'm calling customer service first thing Monday morning to see if they have any suggestions. I've been dying to purchase a new camera for the past two years. When I purchased my camera four years ago, it was the first I had ever owned and I figured it was a nice camera to learn on. Now that I know a thing or two about digital photography I am desperately craving a camera that allows me to further my skills. Unfortunately I don't have several hundred dollars just sitting around so I can't treat myself to a new camera just yet. Hopefully I can get my current camera back in working order and can start saving up to buy the camera of my dreams.

I'm hoping to get back in the routine of posting, though I'm not sure I'll have any photos of my own to share any time soon.
