I adore the shape and utilitarian design of these handmade bags by Talitha Leather. The brown leather bag is so pretty and its adjustable strap mean you can wear it across your body or just one shoulder. Oh the possibilities.
My God I've made some mistakes with this blog.....!
I wear my heart on my sleeve....
always have....
probably always will....
long, long ago, in the early days of my blog, a girl, a total stranger sent me an email....
apparently i'd written a blog post about my love life and my life in general which struck home with her......
truth be told i have no idea what i wrote or what it was about specifically....
what i do remember is the raw honesty and heartfelt emotion in her letter....
She was in a physically abusive relationship....
She finally walked out.....
The fact that my words apparently were some of which influenced her to opt out and walk away still to this day, leaves me speechless
Ever since then, i've made a vow to keep it real, honest and true up on here......there have been times in my life people have dropped comments to me which i'm sure to them were insignificant, yet meant the world to me, or helped clarify a situation i was in....
so i blog.....on the real
its cost me relationships.......
in fact for one relationship i had to go through and delete everything relating to my past love life on here, which is why if you look back now, this site is fairly clean.....
i love with all of my heart. i'mdifferent. i have a creative heart.
art is life..........and alot of the time life as my art ends up here.
alot of people don't understand that.....
i'm learning to balance my creative verbal rants with others privacy....
so i guess all i have to say tonight is....
i'm in love...... no fancy bullshit this time...... two people who respect each other as individuals..... two people who are the best and closest of friends.... two people who share a world which is entirely their own. happily ever after is bullshit, but two people willing to discuss, negotiate, work towards a life goal....
This time next week, B and I will be at the beach and I can't wait! I may not look as lovely as these ladies while I'm there but there's something about the ocean, sand and a slight tan that makes me feel fresh and beautiful. Maybe it's all the margaritas going to my head. Either way, watch out ocean! I'm coming for you.

Our Southwest Flair collection is an array of natural stones such as turquoise, bamboo coral, magnesite, onyx, and spiny oyster just to name a few. Many of the styles reflect classic traditions of the southwest, while others take on a little modern and trendy look but still focusing on the use of the southwest or indian stones. Here’s a look back at this year’s Best/Favorites for 2010.
Three strands of natural turquoise chips and tiny onyx tube stones surround slender rare and exotic Arizona ivoryite stones and a hint of silver metals between. This is a favorite with the bold colors of turquoise in green, brown, black, rust and a hint of blue in some of the stones; set against strong smooth ivoryite.
A little bit of bold statement in sold red colors starting with red (dyed) coral disks, a large sponge coral pendant; between are beige/red colored lampwork rondelle beads and a mass of antique brass wire mess balls. I used two remaining mess wire balls with a hint of coral as earrings to add a little ‘funky’ to the set.
Here is where classic meets modern starting with a large marquee shaped beige faceted crystal pendant, charms of crystals in the bail and through-out and then I’ve added big nuggets of turquoise, medium rounds and cloisonne beads to finish the necklace.
A bold silver pewter square pendant that is textured, then added rare and exotic Arizona ivoryite and long square turquoise nuggets with a hint of red (dyed) coral and a little more silver pewter barrels and you get a very traditional southwest looking design.
