Endings and Beginnings
I am taking some time off to soak up the end of summer and ready myself for the beginning of the fall season. I’ll meet you back here with new offerings after the Labor Day holiday (though I might pop on to DAM’s Facebook page to post links before then – would love to see you there). And please enjoy the archives – oh, so much to see – 2,750 posts to keep you busy!

Amazing! I thought these were vintage earrings or brooches until the last pic. Wow! Playing with scale is right. Love it.
You will be missed while you are gone. However, I do understand the need for a final summer soak up. enjoy it, feel renewed and see you in September my friend.
I too thought they were earrings…heavy earrings!!! The joke was on me.
I do hope you have a lovely refreshing “interlude…”
uuuhhh! so gorgeous! I’d love one in my home
