New Website, New Blog

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am thankful for so many things, today and EVERY day. Including your interest in my jewelry! So thank you to everyone reading this. I appreciate your encouragement, your business, and our mutual love of beautiful things.

I will no longer be keeping up the blog at franklymydearjewelry.blogspot.com, and will instead be consolidating my websites to my new website/domain name, www.franklymydearjewelry.com. Thanks for keeping up with me!

Pets

I just found out today at his annual checkup that my 1 year old rat terrier/toy poodle mix is going to have to have surgery in a month or so. He'll have to be crated, carried, and pampered (even more than he already is) for the following 4 weeks... so here's an ETSY tribute to dogs and all the things I want to get Harold (my pup) for Christmas.

Bottom to top: Custom pet portrait by FuzzyMugs; Tough dog bed by BowWowBeds; Eco elevated dog feeder by juliacuster; Green dog sweater by pawpad; Embroidered collar by shopmimigreen; and finally, my fantastic pup, Harold.

New Website

Hello all,

I just created my very own website - it has a showcasing of jewelry I've made, as well as a little more information about me and links to my ETSY shop, etc. For my many (ahem, I'm sure) followers - Go check it out!!

Peony Love

This post was inspired by the Peony and Callalily ring by Jenny Kim that I recently purchased on Etsy. I recently developed a deep love for the peony flower, and there are so many fantastic artists catering to my love for it. :) Beautiful - these items make me think of spring on this rainy day in Northwest Florida. Lovely!

Cicadas are fascinating insects. They live underground for years, when all at once, they climb out of the ground, molt, and become beautiful singing bugs. I just love them! So today's Etsy tribute is to these interesting critters, and the people who create beautiful things out of them.

Etsy Artists, from top to bottom: REALBUTTERFLYGIFTS; embellishjewelry; moonlightbindery; sudlow; BugUnderGlass... Search for these artists under "Sellers" on Etsy's homepage - you're in for a treat!

Gray is my favorite (not a) color...

So apparently everyone else is feeling gray the way I am lately. I want everything gray... it's the perfect backdrop for bright accessories!

I found all these wonderfully drab items on Etsy - these are the artists, from top to bottom: patriciaayres; larimeloom; violettdrakt; larimeloom; makool... Look them up under sellers at etsy.com!
