Amusing Myself with the Latest Bling

It’s a new year, I have shopped like crazy in Atlanta for new merchandise and now it is just starting to roll into the shop…I  just love it!

These magnetic jewels arrived yesterday!

I have been walking around the shop and using them to embellish everything!

Use the smaller jewels as wine glass charms!

They work beautifully on lamp shades

This jewel is magnetic! So you can use it to embellish any lamp shade!

Love the magnetic jewel on this urn…very rich!

and I love what it did for this little frame!

The Whistling Elk
The jewel hangs right on this little metal frame….amazing!

Below I have wrapped a strand of magnetic crystal beads around the base of a lamp and added a crystal to give the lamp a whole new look!

With fun embellishments like these you can add charm to your home furnishings without spending a fortune!

Ooh, I think a truck is rolling up with some new art….gotta go!

It’s Never too Late to Say “Hello, Beautiful Artwork”

It’s Never too Late to Say “Hello, Beautiful Artwork”

Well, today I received a much anticipated shipment of new art!  I have been waiting for it to arrive for about 2 weeks (chewing my fingernails off actually).  One of the pieces (the Lady in Black) is sold and I wanted it to show up for my customer who wanted it for Christmas…talk about cutting it close!

I am so relieved that it is here for her!

Below is a sampling of the artwork…the Lady in Red is a new giclee that I have not had before…she is beautiful and the red is vibrant!

Sorry about the reflection of legs in the photo…(heehee)….I took these in a hurry!  The background is actually a very lovely brown/gold haze.


I still love the Tuscan art….so there is some of that too!  This a a lovely earthy giclee that draws you right in to the alley…it’s quite large…35 by 47 long.

I was putting some of my fairies out around my home this year and realized just how much I still love Mark Roberts Fairies!

Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season with lots of smiles!

Happy New Year…and Peace on Earth!!!

Gotta Have My Lipstick!

I really don’t like carrying anything heavy when I am shopping or even just strolling…

I love something small that will hold the essentials and will hang over my shoulders diagonally…It just feels safer that way!

The Whistling Elk Gifts
Small bags at The Whistling Elk are elegant and verrrry useful!

So when I found these little bags I fell in love…they are small but will hold a smartphone and there is a side pocket that is zippered to hold money, credit cards and of course the most essential…LIPSTICK!

We have lots of these fun bags at The Whistling Elk in colors that are bright and really…just plain fun!

An Inspiration for Christmas Decorating!

I love decorating for Christmas…its all the little details grouped together that make a pretty vignette!
