Christmas Countdown
It's hard to believe that November begins next week. I love this time of year and I would say it is my favorite but come Easter I will tell you that season is my favorite. Oh who can forget Valentine's Day and I love Spring Training for the Yankees it's like a holiday for me and the Fourth of July is my Anniversary and ..... So I guess what I am saying is that I am a big kid at heart and get very excited but the upcoming fun and holidays. And at this very moment Thanksgiving and Christmas are my favorite holidays and I love this time of year!
My Favorites from the shops in this week's

Chunky Amber Copal and Turquoise Statement Necklace, Sterling Artisan Handmade Jewelry
Looking as if the rounds of amber copal was plucked from the sun, the chunky AMBER SUNSHINE artisan necklace will definitely make a statement each time it is worn. Glowing reconstituted copal in a rich golden amber color attracts the eye as it catches the light. Copal is a solidified fossil plant resin which would, in another million years or so, have turned into amber. This particular copal was melted down and then formed (reconstituted) into large rondelle shaped beads. Some of the beads are fairly clear; some have whitish inclusions of lighter colored copal, something that is perfectly natural. Because the copal has the same light weight as amber, this necklace gives a chunky look without the chunky weight.

Dream Agate Red Black w/ Druzy Chunky Handmade Gemstone OOAK Necklace
Beautifully unique large faceted dream agate stones make for a gorgeous and unique necklace. I have named this piece "Dreamweaver" due to the belief that agates are the stones of transformation, spirituality and dream recall.
These quality dream agate stones are highly polished and beautifully faceted. The colors are stunning and contain reds, mahogany and black banding. The dream agate stones will range from translucent to opaque. Several of the stones also contain crystalline druzy inclusions which looked like crystallized ice. I am enhancing the dark beauty of this necklace by using gunmetal large petal beadcaps and medium scalloped bead caps on the larger stones...
