Swarovski Crystal Winter Sleigh

Many of us spend a lot of time decorating our homes for the Christmas season.  Every year we put up the tree, hang the lights, and place holiday themed decorations in strategic places about the house.  For me, holiday decorations are placed in four general categories: inexpensive nick-knacks, gifts, collectibles, and passed down treasures.  Some decorations are part of more than one of my perceived groups.  The importance of each piece is not in it’s monetary value, but in the memories it brings.  There are three decorations that I cherish the most: a handmade tree my favorite aunt gave me; a Celluloid Santa and reindeer that I fought to earn the right to place on my Grandmothers tree; and a Thomas Kincaid village my Mother added to every year.  It’s tradition, wrapped in love and affection, that makes one holiday decoration more special than another.  Swarovski makes gorgeous holiday themed crystal figurines that are nostalgic, fun, and reflect the glitter and sparkle of Christmas.  Many of the pieces in Swarvoski’s home decor collection are limited editions and are highly collectible.  The designer crystal is guaranteed to become not only a favorite gift, but a cherished heirloom as well.

The older I get, the more I rely on reading glasses to see fine print.  I know I'm not alone.  It's a fact, as we age, most of us lose some level of visual acuity.  Glasses and contacts are wonderful for letting us retain our vision to closely ...continue
Designer Jewelry Spotlight: Belle Etoile
no responses - Posted 11.18.11
Designer jewelry by Belle Etoile is all about expressing yourself.  The name was chosen by the San Francisco based company because the French words translate to "beautiful star", with the implied intent being that the wearer would shine like "a star in her own reality show called life".  Many of ...continue
Christmas Gift Ideas: Angel Jewelry

One of the most compelling parts of the Christmas story is the story of the angels' appearances to foretell the birth of Christ.  Angels, including the archangel Gabriel, were said to have appeared to Mary to inform her of the upcoming birth, then to Joseph to assure him of the ...continue

Recently, our 16 year-old obtained her driver's license. It took a grand total of two hours before she asked to borrow the family car. Since then, she's been raiding my purse and her Dad's pile of "stuff" for our sets of keys. It finally occurred to my ...continue

Decorative keys have become very popular as pendants.  The  symbolism behind a key makes it a great gift idea for those in love wanting to visually express the implicit "key to my heart" concept.  Recently, a new jewelry theme has emerged that expands on the popularity of key jewelry; it's ...continue

The clock is ticking.  It's already November first and I, as usual, have not  started my Christmas shopping.  I like to pretend my drop dead end date for shopping is the day before Thanksgiving.  To me, there is a clear difference between shopping for fun and fighting a mob but ...continue
