Handmade Disk Pendants (Re-Purposed, Upcycled, and Green!)

Artsy handmade pendant necklace by Valory7.blogspot.com

Hand-painted artsy disk pendants, refreshingly unique, upcycled and repurposed, and made with love by Valory and me. Let us know your favorite color combos, if you’d like it masculine or feminine looking, and we’ll make one for you! Choice of stringing material — either long black cord, or more earthy textured hemp style cording. They look cool singly or with a coordinating/contrasting “buddy disk” (the smaller disk) on top. Either way, only $11 (currently with FREE shipping) and ready for wearing!

Contact us and get your necklace ordered and on its way!
Thanks!

Have a Vintage Christmas!

Ozark Fall Foliage Finale

Enjoyed the colors this year.

Ozark Fall Foliage 2012: A+

‘Twas an excellent fall foliage showing this year — one of our best in the 9 years that we’ve been here. Goes to show that severe drought conditions can still be overcome resulting in beautiful leaf colors in the end. Thankfully, Mother Nature didn’t disappoint in Fall of 2012! I enjoyed the autumn colors immensely this year.

Autumn Leaves are Changing

It’s mid-October, and the Ozark fall foliage is coming along nicely. We’ve had warm days, cool nights, and some rain — so hopefully the pretty autumn colors will continue to impress!

Cathedral Window Art Quilt

This was one of my favorite quilts to make… It looks hard, but it really wasn’t.  The fabrics do most of the work.  I was able to incorporate some of my favorite brights!   It’s aptly named ”Loretta’s Favorite Fabrics”.  

Fall Foliage Ozark Autumn Colors 2012

It is beginning…!   I see some very, very early signs of fall colors, leaves of orange and yellow, appearing at the tip-top of a couple of oak trees here at the resort.  Hopefully, these cool nights (49 degrees) and warm days (75 degrees) will help the autumn foliage really POP this season!  Fingers crossed!
