First things first! It is Treasury Tuesday, and this week I am delighted to not only showcase my own treasury, but we also had one of our items included in
Diana Divine's treasury,
"Things to Make You Smile, Despite the Snow". It always makes me smile when others are kind enough to feature our items!
The theme for our shop's treasury this week is in the style of Alphonse Mucha. A friend was showing me a piece she owned (shown below) and I was just like... "I have a ring that looks just like her!" I found that pretty exciting and wanted to know more, so I spent forever trying to find more about my ring. I never did, but I fell absolutely in love with his women. The Fox has really been getting me into Art Nouveau & Art Deco, so this is right up our alley!!

This week marks our first week on our new work schedule- we open an hour later and switched our day off from Tuesday (which wasn't even really a day off- The Fox wouldn't barber but our jewelry store was still open) to Monday- so now we can enjoy actually having a weekend! In saying that.. we spent it like we spend all of our time- digging around for new finds, spending time with family and friends, and running around like a couple of kids cracked out on candy.
It has finally stopped raining around here, although in exchange it has also dropped about 30 degrees. I haven't decided how fair of a trade this is... but it is nice not to be soggy all the time.
In saying that, the sun has refused to come out, which has really been holding me back from getting new jewelry listed. There is just something about natural sunlight that makes a huge difference on photographs. We are amateurs on that front here, so we need all the help we can get! I do have some quick snapshots from my phone of some of the things we've found/what we have been up to! (Yes, we had a puppy for about 9 hours on Saturday! But it was passed along to a good home and I am relieved to not be potty training this week. Not my greatest strength!!)

May peace and the saints go with you through your day!
