Mona Lisa
Just finished a custom order, a necklace and earring set featuring the Mona Lisa. It was so much fun to create, and fortunately, she loves it. Click on the image for more views. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Country Living: Little House on the Lake
Our clients’ terrific 500 square foot cottage is featured in September 2012 issue of Country Living magazine!
Sheri and Gerry Weber describe how their remodeled cottage went from old and outdated to clean and contemporary with a plan that included opening up the space, recycling as much material as possible, and making the most of limited storage.
Architect Jeremy Bonin presented a green design that tore down the dropped ceiling and eliminated all of the wood paneling. The Webers reaction was perfect: “Without the ceiling, it was like, “Wow!”, explains Sheri. “We capitalized on all the extra height by putting in a sleeping loft.” Working closely throughout the project, Bonin Architects and the Webers succeeded in making this cottage one of the nicest – and greenest – cabins on the lake!

my new website!
Thanks to the supremely talented Catherine at Avalon Rose Design, I have a gorgeous new website! I have admired her work for a long time, and finally took the plunge. I'm so happy with the results! I have brand new jewelry designs with a darker aesthetic coming this fall, and this new template will complement them so well.

my world
Living in central New Hampshire has its perks: mountains, lakes, fall foliage, wildlife everywhere, quiet living (though the winters could be shorter!). The ocean and Boston (where I grew up) are an easy day trip. It's a special place.
Today I wanted to share with you some random photos I've taken over the years...they are all within 20 minutes or less of my home.
What do you love about your little piece of the world?

outdoor fire pits
Few things are more magical or relaxing than an outdoor fire. I've been wanting a fire pit for a long time, and found some really cool ones at this online store. Below are a few favorites...
