In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,

In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Short and to the point!

I’ve decided to keep this ­­­­­­ post short and to the point…I had a couple of things I needed to mention and didn’t want make the post long and drawn out.  As many of you know I can be long winded when I find a subject of interest. 

This weekend it was brought to my attention I forgot to share my post last week with my Facebook friends.   I had a few people ask me if I’d chosen a name for my jewelry line.   For those of you who didn’t see the original post…the name I chose is “Silver Luxe”.   Definition of luxe:  “of special elegance, sumptuousness, or fineness; high or highest in quality, luxury” …I think it fits nicely!  The author of the name is Diane Estrella, you can find her here,  www.dianeestrella.com.  I thank Diane for having such a high opinion of my designs.  I will be making a pair of earrings for her and once she receives the earrings she will send me a photo… which of course, I will share.

 The Davedi Show was very busy, crowds of people on Saturday, but then I’ve never experienced the show when it wasn’t busy on the Saturday…Sunday has a tendency to be a bit slower, as with most two day shows.  This Sunday was more than a “bit” slower…but… still had a good day!  The wonderful women of The Ladies Auxiliary of the Davedi Club offered great food and baking for sale…definitely a good event for vendors and customers alike!

My next show is this coming Sunday November 11^th; it is the “30^th Annual Christmas Craft Show” at the Best Western, 9:00am to 4:00pm.   I’ve never been in this show before but the opportunity presented itself and I decided it was worth a try.

FYI:  I took an order in to Soul Sister on Oak Street last week…if you are looking for Christmas presents or something for that special occasion and can’t make it to the next two shows stop by Soul Sister and have a look.   Or… simply send me an email or give me a call, I enjoy working on custom orders!

As always if you have a comment or question, don’t hesitate to send me an email or comment on my blog…

Have a great week!

Cheers

And the design name is…!

First I would like to thank those of you who took the time to participate in my challenge; it is obvious thought was put into the names, I appreciate the effort!

As with any contest/challenge it was a difficult decision as the names offered are creative and appropriate for my jewelry line.  First I narrowed my choices to two, while both names are unique and “fitting” in their own way, one speaks just a little louder to me.

The author of the chosen name is Diane Estrella; her design name is “Silver Luxe”…    thoughts given by Diane are “of special elegance, sumptuousness, or fineness; high or highest in quality, luxury, etc”.  In the dictionary I found the definition: “luxury; elegance; sumptuousness, luxury, extravagant”. 

There are a couple of ways I can use Silver Luxe … either… a Silver Luxe Design or… from the Silver Luxe Line.   It has a ring of quality…Silver Luxe…definitely more flair and style than “scrap”, don’t you think?

Thank you to Diane for the ideal name…I will be posting photos of what Diane chooses in the way of earrings or pendant once completed.  You can find Diane here http://dianeestrella.com/ she definitely has a way with words.      

      

For those who may be interested, I have a show this weekend…

   “Artisan’s Craft Show”, Saturday November 3^rd and Sunday November 4^th, 10:00am to 4:00 pm at the Davedi Club, on Airport Road.   This is my third season as a vendor in this grand show; it offers a variety of vendors, everything from incredible Artisan work, to baking, preserves, maple syrup, great desserts, and a Penny Sale, to name a few…to top it all off no admission fee! 

As always, any comments or suggestions send an email to hjcote11@gmail.com or leave a message on my blog.

Have a great week…

Cheers
