The Dog Days of Summer Are Approaching...
As a dog owner and dog-lover, I've been tucking away a few canine-related items to group together into one pooch-related post. One product, one health issue, and another is simply too wacky to be believed. Since I'm as interested in going hands-free/bag-free as possible on a dog-walk as I am whi...

Daggars
I am working on a new pattern for a pair of dragonfly earrings and am becoming sadly disheartened. I can not find daggar beads in any color at any of my go-to suppliers! This is so frustrating. So I will try to hunt down a strand or two of them so I can make these beautiful little earrings ano...
