Hot Wired



Two wonderfully quirky jewelry pieces of jewelry, handcrafted from wire. Made years apart, by different artists, both gifted to me. I treasure them. Strange how they both "match" each other, each a warm copper wire and a flower motif. The most recent was a gift from the delightful Val Sparkle, during our recent blogger meet-up on her last visit to Seattle. I had such a good time meeting Val, and like many of my blogger pals, we felt instantly at ease, as if we already knew each other.

I suppose we do.

Do wear only things you love? What's got you HOT WIRED lately?

I have a huge cocktail ring made of a LARGE pearl and wrapped copper wire--from a very successful eBay friend here in KC! I love jewelry like this. And, I love the photo of you with the hot pink lips!

Receiving gifted pieces of jewelry is always so wonderful!
Right now I'm into a green shirt that I just purchased at the Salvation Army.

You are the best - thanks for all the attention! I kept waiting to read more about the wire ring, though. And I really should make more bead people for the shop. They're fun!

You and Val in the same room as me ... swooooooooon-fest for me!!!! It's interesting how so many bloggers say they "know" their blogger friend in meet-ups. Like you say "I suppose we do"! Perhaps blogging is yet another way of building close, honest friendships, something that's here to stay:) xoxo

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
