Loving the Netflix show Bridgerton! Not only for its romance, drama, and story but also for its fantastical fashions and the gorgeous jewelry that everyone wears. It’s been a source of inspiration and a good excuse to raid my rhinestone stash. (And yes, I have a rhinestone stash, doesn’t everyone?)
Anyone else loving the jewelry and fashions in the show? Have a favorite?

I have a lot to be thankful for this November--my brother married his longtime girlfriend on Sunday in the village of Piermont, down by the Hudson River. It was a beautiful day! Last week the whole house was abuzz, baking and making and getting ready for the big day.
My grams made them a stunning Hidden Star quilt (where each block has a star hidden within the block). I made the happy couple a Scrabble picture frame with their names interlocking to hang in their hallway. And my mom and I fashioned earring and bracelet sets for the bridesmaids.
I tried a handful of recipes out this week--all from A Taste of Home magazine (which is fabulous by the way). I baked to my heart's content--a Chocolate cake with raspberry filling and white chocolate frosting, a rich strawberry & champagne cheesecake, and a lemon meringue pie. A new family favorite is the Apple Orchard Pork Loin Roast (very simple to make and incredibly tasty).
Here's an easy & elegant D.I.Y. for your dinner table, mantle place, or window sill:
Hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving this Thursday! Check later this week for holiday gift tag D.I.Y.S!
I am delighted to say that you can now find my jewelry in Dwelling Spaces! I am honored and proud to be among such crafty folks and fellow make:Tulsans (Gleeful Peacock & Weather & Noise)! I had tons of fun last week creating my display: another antique printer drawer upcycled, a vintage gardener's tray (which I fashioned with a pin cushion and filled with some tiny lightbulbs, various vintage buttons, a page from an old Japanese novel, & a bit of lace), and an Atomventor's Jar (pictured on the top right).
I will be posting a D.I.Y. on how to make your own Atomventor's Jar on Wednesday! So if you're going to a garage sale, flea market, or simply raiding your dad's barn or shed--be sure to snag a couple lightbulbs! Try and find ones that will fit through a Mason Jar's opening.
