My Amethyst Earrings to be on The Vampire Diaries!

Through my membership of a juried group of artisans known appropriately as The Artisan Group, I was able to gift the stylist of The Vampire Dairies a few months ago.

After much consideration I narrowed my choices down to two pairs of earrings. Both were handcrafted using sterling silver metalwork, one featuring Blush Pink Chalcedony and one pair featuring deep Purple Amethyst Gemstones. I hosted a vote for my Willow Creek Jewelry Facebook followers, and the Amethyst pair won.

The voters on Facebook chose the right pair, because the stylist also chose them for The Vampire Diaries character "Caroline" to wear on the Season 5 Premiere. The first episode of the season will air tonight, October 3 on the CW channel at 7PM central.

In appreciation of those that voted on Facebook and to celebrate, I'm hosting a Giveaway with a chance to win a pair of the earrings exactly like those to be worn by "Caroline" tonight.

You may enter everyday and the contest will close on October 17th at midnight central time. Enter often for the best chance to win and Good Luck!

Clear The Mind, Renew The Soul ~

 For me, there's no better way to clear the mind, relieve stress and find inspiration for new designs than to take a walk in the woods. I love the fresh air, rustle of the leaves and the tiny little things that usually go unnoticed.

Petite, delicate lavender flowers peeking out from leaves scattered around a fallen tree...

A little grey roly-poly bug inching forward on a small moss covered rock...

The faint sound of water trickling over pebbles in a distant brook...

Birds tweeting and perhaps warning others that a stranger in below...

One solitary leaf, remaining on a branch up near the top of a tall slender tree and then noticing a hawk soaring silently above...

The same woodland path will transform with the seasons and reveal an abundance of fresh finds, allowing renewed creativity and inspiration to fill the soul with each journey.

I've curated a collection of finds that remind me of my most recent walk through the wooded area I’m blessed to have right out my back door ~

What inspires you?
