BoHo vintage Pretty Bohemian Red Stone floral Textured brass adjustable Ring

I actually have two of these available so feel free to get both and shipping on the second is absolutely free!


This ring has a very beautiful textured adjustable brass/goldtone band, engraved with gorgeous scrollwork and a succulently delicious colorful stone that has a coralish red base and muticolored detailing, very well made and surprising heavy.

This ring, as is without adjusting is about a 7, and can easily fit up to a 9 or 9.5. The stone and setting measure 1 inch high by 3/4 inch wide.

This is a very versatile piece, could be worn to a dinner party with a slinky dress or to a concert in a floaty hippy skirt... the kind of ring any girl/lady/hippy chick needs :)
This comes giftboxed, Shipped First class Insured in the US and Priority with a tracking number elsewhere.

Janis Joplin "Little Girl Blue" Lyrics

JANIS JOPLIN LYRICS


"Little Girl Blue"

Sit there, hmm, count your fingers.
What else, what else is there to do ?
Oh and I know how you feel,
I know you feel that you’re through.
Oh wah wah ah sit there, hmm, count,
Ah, count your little fingers,
My unhappy oh little girl, little girl blue, yeah.

Oh sit there, oh count those raindrops
Oh, feel ’em falling down, oh honey all around you.
Honey don’t you know it’s time,
I feel it’s time,
Somebody told you ‘cause you got to know
That all you ever gonna have to count on
Or gonna wanna lean on
It’s gonna feel just like those raindrops do
When they’re falling down, honey, all around you.
Oh, I know you’re unhappy.

Oh sit there, ah go on, go on
And count your fingers.
I don’t know what else, what else
Honey have you got to do.
And I know how you feel,
And I know you ain’t got no reason to go on
And I know you feel that you must be through.
Oh honey, go on and sit right back down,
I want you to count, oh count your fingers,
Ah my unhappy, my unlucky
And my little, oh, girl blue.
I know you’re unhappy,
Ooh ah, honey I know,
Baby I know just how you feel.

Daisies - Thanks Debra! FreeCycle Rocks...












So I am a gardening freak without the funds and have resorted to all kinds of (legal!!) methods of acquiring my greenery/rocks/mulch from MAJOR hiking and climbing with backpacks of stones to pooling funds with the neighbors.


We have managed to cultivate a really pretty little yard for ourselves in our little corner o' the complex.

So I was checking my mail the other day and read my FreeCycle daily digest (oh YES!!! Google "freecycle" for the yahoo group near your area and JOIN!) and saw a nice lady who was looking to share her plethora of daisies. Being that daisies are one of my favorite and definitely my daughter, Denise's, favorite flower, I grabbed a few neighbor kids and my two big ones and we trundled off to Athens, with buckets and shovel a-jangling.

Meeting Debra was an experience in itself.... this wonderful, bright and sunshiny bundle of energy and exuberance had an infectious light heart and such a warm, winning way. My 6' 3" son towered over her, shovel in hand and helpfully followed her direction as we thinned out the myriads of daisies that were enveloping her other flora. "Wow, you can see my LILIES!" she sang out, and joy spread across her face. She explained that she was from what I call "The City" (NYC) and had moved up here to get away from the blacktop and rush and into the country and lovely pace of nature.

Ms. Debra Braiman told us she is a Massage and Aroma therapist who uses essential oils, which I'm sure is just heavenly! Her email address is akamai412@hotmail.com and her company is Young Living Essential Oils and she would be happy to answer any questions on the subject and YES she STILL has MORE daisies...

Ray and I are hoping to get married next summer and I am shooting for 100% handmade, except his suit, and these are an investment in next year. I am planting them around the perimeter of the yard and hoping they come back in time for a wedding next year, where I will bring them up to camp in Ticonderoga where we're having the ceremony.

OF COURSE I HAD to take pics of my balcony packed with daisies.... Don't worry, they'll be planted by nightfall... I also have a 4+ mile walk planned in 1/2 hr :) ....

Have a great weekend... enjoy the daisy pics... Vicki

Daisy Chain Headband or Fabric Necklace with Peace Sign button

Daisy Chain Head band can also be a fabric necklace or even a pretty Flower belt for a medium to small person. With it's little pearly Peace Sign button, it conveys a serene message while keeping you in sweet style.

It is made from a vintage daisy trim affixed to an ethereal sheer white ribbon and is adorned with a vintage pearl button that I added a bit of decoupage to.

It measures 34 inches or 86.36 centimeters from one end of the ribbon to the other. The peace sign is glazed in iridescent pixie dust and tops a 5 inch dangle of pretty flowers.

Being that this is totally adjustable, this could also be used as a fabric necklace, a belt, a hatband, armband, or wrapped to form a cuff bracelet.

The ribbon makes it sturdy enough to be tied snugly without damage to your "Daisy Chain".

It comes prettily presented in a silver Ravena Relics gift box. :)
