The autumn foliage of sugar maple trees is a wonderful sight with bright yellows and brilliant oranges and reds.  Boy, I love this time of year.  This is the sugar maple in our backyard and it puts on a pretty good show for us.  It's around 70 years old and has been struggling these past few years as the root system was damaged from road construction in the area.  But, it's hanging in there giving us shade in the summer and beautiful colour in the fall.

These are big heart post earrings hand formed from pure copper wire.  I've gotta a thing for creating heart shaped jewelry because it's a symbol of love.  But I like to add a bit of flair to my creations.  Check out these bold beauties that are listed in our Etsy Shop.

A sweater was required for my day at the Wellington Beach with a friend. But, that's okay because I love sweater weather.  Ah, the pure bliss of no crowds, blue sky, crisp air and the sound of waves crashing against the rocks.  It was a good day.

New earrings have been listed at our Etsy shop .  These post/stud earrings are lightweight to wear and 1 3/8" in length.  They will add the perfect finishing touch to an outfit for a pulled together look.  Check them out.

Using Czech seed beads, I added a beaded spiral to these long twisted copper pendants.  I just need to decided on a chain then I will be listing them in our Etsy shop.

This is one of the abstract tree pendants that I made awhile back using tinned wire and solder.  I added a light patina which gives it the look of pewter and renaissance wax to preserve the patina.  The pendant hangs from a stainless steel chain and is listed in our Etsy shop .
