Spiritual Bliss????
I'm really trying hard to stay in gratitude this week! It's extra hard when I feel worn out (I take care of everyone else but me vibe)!
But I'm a work in progress and it seems there's some moving forward in that area of my spiritual life!
I've been putting alot of stress on myself to trying to fit into a mold spiritually that's just not me!
I'm realizing Easy Does it, One Day At A Time & First Things First (AA slogans) really applies here! And today I decided that I'm going to just be ok with my spiritual walk and let GOD guide me, instead of me taking the reins. I don't know where it will lead, and Just for Today (AA Slogan) I'm ok with that.
How was your week?
Did you see spiritual growth in your life this week?

I was partnered up with Rose Binoya here is her Etsy Shoppe and Blog!
She is a very talented Jewelry Artisan with beautiful designs! Luv her style!!!
She lives in a part of California that Hubby and I lived in! Such a small world really?! ReallY!
She sent me some beautiful buttons vintage and new! I totally spaced on taking a pic before designing of her beauties :-(....

These are big-leaf maple tree seed beads and a vintage bead Rose wire wrapped into a clasp and a few fun Dragonflies!!
TY again Rose!!
Ok let's get to what you came here for! The designs!!!!
Pink Lemonade Bling Leather Wrap Bracelet
I decided to take the WTF Rhinestone Wrap Design into Sunshine Bliss land and did my own take on that look!
I wire wrapped a rhinestone strand around a braided t shirt yarn bracelet, then wrapped randomly pink lemonade silky hued ribbon and cotton candy hued ribbon around the rhinestone strand.
The beautiful pink lucite style vintage button is the closure. I added a silver platted wishbone & OM charm just for fun! Oh heck this whole piece reeks fun!
Rainbow Hued Fringe Bangle
For this design I used a vintage bangle & wrapped very randomly deep sparkly rainbow hued ribbon. I randomly knotted and let some of the pieces be fringe! I wire wrapped the vintage metal beauty of a button! I hit the repeat button on fun!
Tangerine Dreams Leather Wrap Bracelet
The fun trendy Leather wrap bracelet done in tangerine jade beads with tangerine leather and the gorgeous vintage style orange and yellow with flowers button! Makes me want a Creamsicle Popsicle!
Charming Feather Necklace
I decided for the MOP Beauty of a Button to try something different from my norm. As in bracelet! Haha! So i did up this beauty! Started out with wire wrapping a silver plated horseshoe charm and Czech glass gorgeous faceted fire polished deepest green bead dangle, then added chain and a pewter sun charm, silver plated peace sign charm, a silver plated evil eye hamsa charm and a beautiful peacock feather to finish the statement piece! I added a OM sign to the chain and a Hamsa toggle clasp in silver plate for the final touches! I luv Charm necklaces that dangle and has that Boho Chic Vibe I so adore and this one does both!

Sunrise Sunset Sunrise Sunset
Sunrise, Sunset lyrics
Is this the little girl I carried,
Is this the little boy at play?
I don't remember growing older,
When did they?
When did she get to be a beauty,
When did he grow to be so tall?
Wasn't it yesterday when they were small?
Sunrise, sunset (x2),
Swiftly flow the days.
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers,
Blossoming even as we gaze.
Sunrise, sunset (x2),
Swiftly fly the years,
One season following another,
Laiden with happiness and tears.
What words of wisdom can I give them,
How can I help to ease their way?
Now they must learn from one another,
Day by day.
They look so natural together.
Just like two newlyweds should be.
Is there a canopy in store for me?
Sunrise, sunset (x2),
Swiftly fly the years,
One season following another,
Laiden with happiness,
And tears
I luv Fiddler on The Roof! But I sadly don't have a Sunrise picture as of late, but I do have a lovely Sunset Pic I posted on Instagram!
Amazing view on my drive home Thursday!
So Blessed to see this!
How's your week going?
Great I so hope!
Mine's been full on war fighting a Horrible Migraine. And this battle I won, sort of only lasted 1 day!!!
Been enjoying some pool time (we created a cute pool area w a blow up pool in our backyard!!) Pics to come!
Also I've got a few new designs I'm listing today!!
Vintage Heart Charmer Bracelet All Vintage Hearts in brass & gold on a hand cut rainbow torched pure copper chain with goldtone heart clasp!
Punch bowl Pink Rhinestone Bracelet
Two strands of glass rhinestone flank a beautiful pink and rhinestone glass baubles strand!
Gorgeous Silver Plated Heart Clasp! Yummy Summertime bliss!
Feathery Sparkles of Light Wrap Sari Bracelet
Gorgeous repurposed Rhinestone Feather Charm on a Upcycled midnight blue & gorgeous deepest purple sari ribbon! Takes your breath away!
Good no Great News! CraftStar (FB Page) is launching their site! It's a great Etsy Alternative since they will only feature HaNdMaDe Goodies & yes also Supplies! No Vintage (I luv Vintage don't get me wrong!), and for sure No Mass produced!
A true handmade market place for and about Artisans!! How in my opinion exciting! It launches on Mothers Day!!!! What great Gift!
And.........
What's on my Arm today?
I am going light today! I got a Gifty for my bday I luv! A Foxy Originals Shine Leather Wrap Bracelet! "The Silver is Stamped: We are all of us stars and we deserve to twinkle" - Marilyn Monroe
Such a beautiful quote from a women who forgot she deserved to twinkle.....
I luv the silver stamped connector but the leather wrap is uncomfy I'm not sure why really......will have to change it!!
And I'm also sporting a Sunshine Bliss Studio mini size Sober Power Mixed Metal ID bracelet. It's a Hand riveted vintage copper triangle charm, vintage copper circle and a vintage aluminum bracelet connector.. It's nice and light and a beautiful reminder that adores my wrist! I luv that about bracelets!
So mucho happening this week!
U too?
Luv
