Nocturnal delights!

As mentioned in my last post, more owl friends were on the way. Well, here they are! A little variety goes a long way I think, and judging by the lovely feedback these night owls received yesterday at the craft market, I know they'll be flapping their wings very soon....!

More owl pendants and a lovely brooch will soon be in my etsy shop. Come on over and have a browse.

Hoot hoot!

At my last craft market a frequent 'stopper by' and admirer of my work asked if I had any owls incorporated in my jewellery designs. I had been shopping for owls only the previous week and told her I had my eyes on a few ceramic owls handmade by a talented fellow etsian. They were purchased this week but in the meantime, i have ventured into the nocturnal world of open eyed owls.
These two necklaces feature silverplated owls that have remarkable texture. My tree of owls will be featured tomorrow for the first time at my next market.
I'm hoping some will leave the perch and fly to loving homes!

In the meantime, enjoy these two:

Ruby red in July

My latest creations enjoying the beauty of ruby redness!

Two different style of earrings but each with its inherent style and loveliness.

Meet Ruby red faceted drops and Deep ruby red drop hoops.

Warmth and coziness

Finally finished my super soft and beautifully warming shoulder wrap and listed in my etsy shop: www.lainenbois.etsy.com

A gorgeous,'nude pink' colour. Textured and interesting yarn and even vintage buttons to add to the luxury!

A chunky yet soft neckwarmer is now on the needles and should be ready to wear shortly.

When living was simpler....

I revisited Sovereign Hill Ballarat last weekend after many years.
It was a cold, damp day but rugged up I made the most of the occasion.
Walking amongst local characters in period dress, looking out for passing horses and carriage,watching a dramatic re enactment complete with gunfire and men in uniform! A very pleasant day indeed.

Here are some of the quieter,no fuss inhabitants of this re-created town. The sheep were so big and woolly, I just wanted to cuddle up to them!

Autumn harvest

Finally managed to find my way into the vegie patch after a little neglect. I'm sure all the new growth and young seedlings will thank me for the hard work....I did enjoy every minute of it!

My one and only heirloom pumpkin (variety unknown) just picked after our early frost, and more capsicum goodness. My green capsicums have been fruitful for the last three months and more lovely capsicums keep on coming!
My broadbeans have also made an appearance and are growing stronger by the day. Yum!

New in May....

Thought I might share a couple of my latest additions to my etsy shop, newly added this month.

I love beading haircombs and creating striking hair adornments. My latest is a sapphire blue pair....petite but beautiful I think.

Necklaces are my other love......This black/white creation is quite striking in real life and was a joy to make.

Hope you too will enjoy seeing these new additions.
