Portugal is famous for its beaches, food and Cristiano Ronaldo…. but that's just the tip
of the iceberg. ... Portugal is one of the oldest countries in Europe with its borders pretty much
unchanged since 1297.

Portugal is ranked as the 3rd safest country in the world by the Global Peace Index. That means
that Portugal is a safe place to visit—although, like in many destinations, there remains a risk of
petty crime.

If your family immigrated from Portugal or you have been there and are longing for another
souvenier you might enjoy wearing my Portugal coin necklace. Nothing better than an original coin
that is a real piece of art history. 

I read that Portugal has the oldest bookstore in its capital. I'm a bookstore lover and would so
LOVE to explore that!

Wear a scarf like a headband with a knot in back.  Instead of knotting it underneath your hair
knot it on top. The tails can hang in back and catch the breeze. By having your hair out of your face
your earrings get to be seen. Both pretty and cute! Perfect way to show them off.

While this style of scarf and horseshoe earrings is more casual you can easily level it up!

At first this may seem strictly like a boho style but it can easily be bumped up to sophistication for a 
fancy night out. Just choose an elegant scarf and elegant earrings. Think - a creamy white scarf with pearl 
earrings.

To shop my Horseshoe earrings you'll fine them in bronze here and in copper here.

If you have a passion for Italy then you must appreciate this land of art, history, style and design.
If you're travel plans had to be cancelled or post poned this year you can still get your fix.

Wrap yourself in an Italian scarf and my Italian coin pearl necklace. While my scarf was a gift
brought back to me from Italy you can still get one too. Check out this boutique called Elizabetta.
This boutique is located in Italy but they offer complimentary USA shipping. She has a line of beautiful
scarves, neckties and handbags.

Yes Belize is most certainly on my bucket list. Yes I want to see and experience the islands,
mountains, rainforest and coast that it offers. Plus Belize is a wonderland of flowers. Yes please!
Those lush islands where purple orchids grow freely sounds magical and is exactly why I used
purple pearls in my Belize coin necklace. To me it just feels like Belize.

If you love the color purple, freshwater pearls and have been or maybe still dreaming about
Belize like I am then this necklace is for you!

Hello army green or olive green (they're basically the same.) This neutral color with delicious
warm undertones is so good. It Allows you to easily transition into Fall.

You can't go wrong pairing it with warm copper jewelry. They are opposites on the color wheel
and thats a good thing! They compliment each other. 

So grab your green and make a statement with casual long riveted copper heart necklace and armful
of cuffs with a cool ring to boot. They give you a playful little edge.

My sister and her husband spent Labor Day weekend in Asheville NC. It's one of their favorite places!
If you havne't been it's located in the BLue Ridge Mountains. The Downtown Art District is filled with
galleries and museums, and in the nearby River Arts District, former factory buildings house artists' studios.

So wearing one of my handcrafted necklaces seemed appropriate for their adventure. This necklace says
"Live Free" and they most certainly do!

Wild Love is what I named this long heart necklace. Because you can add initial charms (if you choose)
to the bottom of this heart. Initials of those people that you love like crazy. In this case Cameron is 
wearing and has charms for her 2 favorite humans - her children!

While this certainly works well for a "Mom" necklace it's meant for anyone with or without charms.
Maybe your fur babies are the ones you wildly love. By all means add those initials could be used in 
my mixed metal, casual style necklace.

Today is National Read a Book Day! And I'm thrilled because its blazing hot outside on this Labor Day
weekend. The beaches look overly crowded and didn't look to safe to me.  So I was quite happy
to hunker down with one of my favorite authors. I slipped on a festive bracelet, poured a big glass
of my favorite ide tea and settled in to read City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert.

I love to read and don't always make time for it as much as I would like too. So today was a great
reminder to take some time to enjoy a good story and good writing. And this book is wonderful. I
can't put it down!
