Buzzing Halloween Bee

Downtown Corvallis held their annual trick or treat event where participating businesses invite Trick or Treaters to stop by. I must say, It is so much fun to see all the kids dressed up. My Friend Sharon brought her completely adorable daughter Madison by in her precious little bee outfit..... complete with matching purse!

She just wasn't in to holding still for me, but I managed to get some quick pictures.

Thanks are in order

I want to thank Jill from Gypsy Brocante on Etsy for featuring my Black Bakelite Bracelet on her blog. Such a nice gesture. If you haven't already....Check out Etsy! So many wonderful vintage items and so many wonderful artists!

Today I've packed up a couple wedding dresses, Some jewelry and other vintage goodies and sent them off to a photo shoot in Portland for the Spring Issue of Oregon Bride. Thank you Kristin!

Now, I just need to get working on photographing my vintage clothing. As Jill mentioned on her blog it seems that these weeks are going by so fast.... Can we just slow it down a bit...

Lovely October

How I love October.... All of a sudden it is Fall! I will make a point of adding some fall pictures soon. I did want to add a new picture of another antique ring I have added to my inventory.... Along with several others! And to boot I'm offering wonderful discounts on engagement rings throughout the month of October.

On another note, I will soon be adding some fantastic vintage clothing to my Etsy site. Beautiful Vintage dresses from designers such as Mr. Blackwell, Gucci, Bill Blass and Thierry Mugler. More photos to take and cataloging, but it will be wonderful to get that part of my business up and going and ready to share with everyone!

Beautiful Greens

A brief break from business and general life stuff to go camping was such a treat. The tree was on the Oregon Coast Range. A 500 year old spruce. He was truly a mammoth! I'm always inspired how Nature sets up perfect displays such as the little pine cones I saw nestled in the log and the mushrooms ready at attention.

The Emerald ring I added because the stone is part of the natural elements to me... When I see the green of the emerald it reminds me of the beautiful greens in nature.

Speaking of Emeralds... Off to the "Emerald City" for a buying trip tomorrow. Oh what fun!

Understated Beauty

This ring was chosen by a gentleman on the east coast. We both agreed that it is such a beautiful ring. A sapphire virtually on its own... Set in platinum with two small rose cut diamonds That is all, but sometimes the most simple design is so lovely.

Thank you Ed.

A unique wedding ring

I've had the priviledge of assisting another Canadian customer choose an antique ring. Thyra from Toronto selected this beautiful Circa 1900 citrine ring for her wedding ring.

Definitely a wonderful and unique choice.


Thank You Thyra! It was wonderful working with you. Have wonderful trip home to BC

Another Surprise....Far away

This lovely circa 1915 diamond and platinum ring from Camellia now has a hand. It is traveling a far distance for a very kind (and thoughtful) gentleman who selected this ring for his wife. A wonderful surprise for her. It is a surprise, so more later on this sweet story.

Thank you to the gentleman.
