  • Luxurious inspiration from old times

    I made a purchase of swarovski flat backs and metal fittings for them (not the ones that are used for sewing but links with two loops) in the beginning of the year. They sure are pretty.

  • Opulence - Crossing Over

    I really miss being able to interact with all the different mediums in one place...BOO HOO. It just feels so segregated, although I know that everyone needs to have a "special" place to gather. In that vein, I hope it is all right to post a little something here to entice all of you to visit...
