Tis the season! I'm guest blogger over at the Objects and Elements blog. I'd love you to take a look!
And, speaking of sparkle...some of my family are here for the holidays (yay!) and my mom wore this the other day. It was really beautiful and glimmery. I had worn it for a holiday party but, when I saw it on someone else, it made all the difference!
It's a truly unique piece of jewelry and the faceted green amethyst and garnets, along with the handcast pewter elements and vintage rhinestone (mellow glow, there) make it especially lovely. It's for sale here, if you like.
The tree and lights are twinkling beautifully and I'm making it my mission in the next few days to get some photos of my Christmas decorations. I love this time of year and tend to go overboard...multiple festooned trees, ribbons and sequins, vintage ornaments, shiny tinsel tree...what a way to go!
Love those little antique trees! "Victoriana" is gorgeous! I love the touches that reflect your partnership with Objects & Elements-- I think they are lucky to have you involved and I can see many interesting additions to your pieces as well.

Hi Deryn,
Your pieces (as I've said before) are very beautiful, and speak to my heart so!!! I look at what you've been doing as you prepare for Christmas and am in awe of how much you accomplish ~ and also keep the heart of Christmas which is Jesus. He is creating a beautiful work of art in you, made of gold and pearl and precious stone... Merry Christmas to you, enjoy the sparkle of the season! ~ Violet

Those necklaces are all so beautiful, Deryn.
I love to decorate for Christmas too. Lots of lights and color. Mostly, I love making memories for my grandkids.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Deryn - your work is just amazing! I love "Victoriana", with its handcast pewter elements & vintage feel. The green ametheyst is the icing on the cake!
