Take my Son.....

A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art. They had everything in their collection, fromPicasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire the great works of art..

When the Vietnamconflict broke out, the son went to war. He was very courageous and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father was notified and grieved deeply for his only son.

About a month later, just before Christmas,

There was a knock at the door. A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands..

He said, 'Sir, you don't know me, but I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart and he died instantly... He often talked about you, and your love for art.' The young man held out this package. 'I know this isn't much. I'm not really a great artist, but I think your son would have wanted you to have this.'

The father

Opened the package. It was a portrait of his son, painted by the young man. He stared in awe at the way the soldier had captured the personality of his son in the painting. The father was so drawn to the eyes that his own eyes welled up with tears. He thanked the young man and offered to pay him for the picture.. 'Oh, no sir, I could never repay what your son did for me. It's a gift.'

The father hung the portrait over his mantle. Every time visitors came to his home he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected.

The man died a few months later. There was to be a great auction of his paintings. Many influential people gathered, excited over seeing the great paintings and having an opportunity to purchase one for their collection.

On the platform sat the painting of the son. The auctioneer pounded his gavel. 'We will start the bidding with this picture of the son. Who will bid for this picture?'

There was silence...

Then a voice in the back of the room shouted, 'We want to see the famous paintings. Skip this one.'

But the auctioneer persisted. 'Will somebody bid for this painting? Who will start the bidding? $100, $200?'

Another voice angrily. 'We didn't come to see this painting. We came to see the Van Gogh's, the Rembrandts. Get on with the Real bids!'

But still the auctioneer continued. 'The son! The son! Who'll take the son?'

Finally, a voice came from the very back of the room. It was the longtime gardener of the man and his son. 'I'll give $10 for the painting...' Being a poor man, it was all he could afford.

'We have $10, who will bid $20?'

'Give it to him for $10. Let's see the masters.'

The crowd was becoming angry. They didn't want the picture of the son.

They wanted the more worthy investments for their collections.

The auctioneer pounded the gavel.. 'Going once, twice, SOLD for $10!'

A man sitting on the second row shouted, 'Now let's get on with the collection!'

The auctioneer laid down his gavel. 'I'm sorry, the auction is over.'

'What about the paintings?'

'I am sorry. When I was called to conduct this auction, I was told of a secret stipulation in the will... I was not allowed to reveal that stipulation until this time. Only the painting of the son would be auctioned. Whoever bought that painting would inherit the entire estate, including the paintings.

The man who took the son gets everything!'

God gave His son over 2,000 years ago to die on the Cross. Much like the auctioneer, His message today is: 'The Son, the Son, who'll take the Son?'

Because, you see, whoever takes the Son gets everything!

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, WHO SO EVER BELIEVETH, SHALL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE...THAT'S LOVE

Have a blessed day!

Handforged hammered copper cuff bracelet with cutouts metal_artistry

http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/Metal_Artistry/4245073/

This solid copper cuff has a unique modern design with rectangular cut out areas throughout. It has been hammered to add rich texture. This cuff bracelet is 2"x6" (5cm x 15cm) and will add a bold statement to any outfit. This bracelet will fit almost anyone as it is slightly adjustable. Although I don't make anything twice, I have made a similar one a few years ago. It sold in a day and I was sad to have it gone. I have changed the design and cutout areas slightly refining the design.

My shipments are via the United States Postal Service first class mail with delivery confirmation. Any orders over US $50.00 total will be insured at my expense. If you have other requirements for shipment contact me first please and I will work with you.

Most metals, including copper, will age and change color. If you want this color back, simply make a solution of vinegar and salt and dip it in. A few minutes later you have shiny all over again.

Garnet Birthstone Pendant Necklace in Sterling Silver with Texture

Metal_Artistry

http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/Metal_Artistry/4093124/

Deep red faceted rose cut garnet birthstone pendant is hung on 18" silicon cord. The sterling has been textured with a flourish flowing pattern. This piece is slightly oxidized to bring out the patterning in the silver. The rectangle is 3/4" long and 3/8" wide. There are three layers of silver under the bezel set semi-precious stone.
The bail is simple in form, however, handmade, in order to let the garnet and silver setting take center stage. A very unique design; definitely one of a kind. This is a very delicate yet eye-catching piece.

We will be sending your purchase via USPS first class mail with delivery confirmation. Contact us for other options. It will arrive in an organza gift bag.

Sunday Spiritual

2012-01-15T06:53:00.000-06:00

There once was a man named George Thomas, pastor in a small New England town. One Easter Sunday morning he came to the Church carrying a rusty, bent, old bird cage, and set it by the pulpit. Eyebrows were raised and, as if in response, Pastor Thomas began to speak....

"I was walking through town yesterday when I saw a young boy coming toward me swinging this bird cage. On the bottom of the cage were three little wild birds, shivering with cold and fright.

I stopped the lad and asked, "What do you have there, son?"

"Just some old birds," came the reply.

"What are you going to do with them?" I asked.

"Take 'em home and have fun with 'em," he answered. "I'm gonna tease 'em and pull out their feathers to make 'em fight. I'm gonna have a real good time."

"But you'll get tired of those birds sooner or later. What will you do then?"

"Oh, I got some cats," said the little boy. "They like birds. I'll take 'em to them."

The pastor was silent for a moment. "How much do you want for those birds, son?"

"Huh?? !!! Why, you don't want them birds, mister.

They're just plain old field birds. They don't sing. They ain't even pretty!"

"How much?" the pastor asked again.

The boy sized up the pastor as if he were crazy and said, "$10?"

The pastor reached in his pocket and took out a ten dollar bill. He placed it in the boy's hand. In a flash, the boy was gone. The pastor picked up the cage and gently carried it to the end of the alley where there was a tree and a grassy spot. Setting the cage down, he opened the door, and by softly tapping the bars persuaded the birds out, setting them free. Well, that explained the empty bird cage on the pulpit, and then the pastor began to tell this story:

One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation. Satan had just come from the Garden of Eden, and he was gloating and boasting. "Yes, sir, I just caught a world full of people down there. Set me a trap, used bait I knew they couldn't resist. Got 'em all!"

"What are you going to do with them?" Jesus asked.

Satan replied, "Oh, I'm gonna have fun! I'm gonna teach them how to marry and divorce each other, how to hate and abuse each other, how to drink and smoke and curse. I'm gonna teach them how to invent guns and bombs and kill each other. I'm really gonna have fun!"

"And what will you do when you are done with them" Jesus asked?

"Oh, I'll kill 'em," Satan glared proudly.

"How much do you want for them?" Jesus asked.

"Oh, you don't want those people. They ain't no good. Why, you'll take them and they'll just hate you. They'll spit on you, curse you and kill you. You don't want those people!!"

"How much? He asked again.

Satan looked at Jesus and sneered, "All your blood, tears and your life."

Jesus said, "DONE!" Then He paid the price.

The pastor picked up the cage and walked from the pulpit.

I pray, for everyone who reads this, that God will bless them in a special way.

I thank God everyday for my blessed life. I'm not rich, don't live in a mansion and don't have the nicest of material things, but, I have a roof over my head, clothes on my back, food on my table, a family that loves me and lifelong friends to get me through. I'd say I have a lot to be thankful for.

Have you counted your blessings today?

"Remember when you speak a person’s name, it is to them, the sweetest and most important word in any language."
Awesome!
Your name or word written in Sterling Silver Wire

Here's the perfect opportunity to get your name or whatever word you want written in sterling silver. Why am I offering this at such a ridiculously low price?
Because I am celebrating the arrival of my precious metal wire and want to share the happiness...AND because I have not yet received the sterling chains...

So for this low low price, your sterling name will hang on a 18" 3mm curb chain (white filled steel) which is made right here in the good ol USA and let me tell you, they are beautiful! See the pics for a close up of the chain and the clasp

This makes the perfect Valentine's Day gift ...or how about treat yourself? How can you go wrong? Everyone loves getting a gift with their name on it, and to be written in Sterling??? well,...flattery will get you everywhere ;)

Would you like a dangling heart? See last pic and let me know if you want green,red,purple,pink,blue, or the gold.

Two for Tuesday - 2 Items from 2 Great Shops

2012-01-10T06:01:00.000-06:00

Featuring

ClayItAgain

and

AngelfishOriginals

First up, ClayItAgain

Magenta Wire Wrapped Rose Quartz Pendant Jewelry

http://www.etsy.com/listing/72971956/magenta-wire-wrapped-rose-quartz-pendant

A beautiful rose quartz is the centerpiece here, and the way it sparkles and shimmers when the light hits it, is awesome! I sculpted magenta wire around this 63 carat cabochon
BUT
if you would prefer the same wrap in brass-$20 silver-$30 or gold-$50, contact me and I will set up a special listing for you.
I do have a couple more rose quartz cabochons waiting to be wrapped. (see last picture-one is same size; the other is larger 32mm x 40mm)

Finished piece is 3" x 1.25"

For those interested in the metaphysical properties:
Rose quartz is called the 'love stone' and opens the heart chakra to all forms of love. It enhances self confidence and creativity. It is said to relieve stress and aid in clearing stored anger, resentment fear and guilt. Aids kidneys and circulatory systems. Want to attract love this Valentine's Day? Try this stone; its the perfect pendant because it's worn right on the heart chakra.

Purple Roses on Lavender Cabochon Wire Wrapped Pendant

http://www.etsy.com/listing/65011154/purple-roses-on-lavender-cabochon-wire

This cabochon has been wrapped with a lavendar pearl plastic coated wire*. It is water safe and the bail should be large enough to hold the thickest rope :)
ok, the inside diameter of the bail is 9mm

If you would prefer to have the same wrap in Sterling Silver for $25 or 14kGold-filled for $45 , contact me and I will set up a special listing for you.

The cabochon is made from polymer clay and has a lavendar background (lavendar/purple swirled mixture on back).
The purple roses, tiny lavendar flowers, and leaves are slices of millefiori canes I made. The design is NOT painted. It is individual slices of layered clay. It has been sanded and buffed to a shine.

Pendant size is 1 3/8" x 1 1/8"
With the finished wire wrap it is 2.25" x 1.3"

AngelfishOriginals

DREAMS OF ATLANTIS Beach Ocean Shell Lace Choker Mermaid Necklace

http://www.etsy.com/listing/78639960/

This beautiful lace choker necklace is draped in ocean-inspired details, fit for a mermaid.

A gorgeous lace applique that I've hand tinted in a beautiful two-tone green and deep ocean blue serves as the base, and many layers of vintage metal findings in antiqued silver add detail and interest including the spectacular mermaid. Two hand painted seashells add to the mermaid flair while flatback Swarovski crystals in green adorn the lace for that final touch. Five vibrant Swarovski crystal drops add elegance, and ocean blue organza ribbons tie at the base of your neck for the perfect fit.

The first two photos shown feature this necklace being worn for a professional photo shoot by the talented Wendy Kathleen of www.wendykathleenphotography.com

Perfect for a casual or formal affair, or photo shoot! Comes gift boxed.

Please allow 1 - 2 weeks for me to hand craft your item and prepare it to ship! If you need a rush, convo me and I'll go my best to accomodate your needs.

PLUMERIA Mini Hat Fascinator Costume Tea Party Photo Prop

http://www.etsy.com/listing/78615186/plumeria-mini-hat-fascinator-costume-tea

This beautiful mini top hat fascinator is approximately 7 inches (brim diameter) and clips on with two sturdy alligator clips (hidden from sight). Bursting with vibrant shades of purple, it's a fantasy in plum, violet and indigo!

A sturdy white mini top hat forms the base, with layers of fine purple lace, hand painted seashells, hand curled peacock feather sprays and eyes, paper flowers, and a gorgeous, hand sewn and folded organza ribbon flower as the focal point. Vintage metal findings add detail and interest.

Perfect for that photo shoot or special formal event, these mini to hats look gorgeous on little girls and big girls!

The first photo shown above features a gorgeous little model wearing my mini hat, shot by the very talented Wendy Kathleen of www.wendykathleenphotography.com

Please allow 1 - 2 weeks for me to hand craft your item and prepare it to ship! If you need a rush, convo me and I'll go my best to accomodate your needs.

Sunday Spiritual

2012-01-08T06:50:00.001-06:00

HAD A FRIEND VISIT THIS MORNING.
HE ARRIVED EARLY, SAT DOWN WITH ME AND CHATTED FOR A WHILE ABOUT HOW THINGS WERE CURRENTLY GOING FOR ME IN MY LIFE.

AFTER VERY CAREFULLY AND

COMPASSIONATELY
LISTENING TO ALL THAT I HAD TO SAY,HE STOOD UP, WALKED OVER TO ME, LEANED OVER AND GENTLY HELD ME FOR AWHILE.
THEN, AFTER REASSURING ME NOT TO WORRY, THAT EVERYTHING WOULD WORK OUT FOR ME AND BE JUST FINE, HE ASKED ME IF I KNEW OF ANYONE ELSE THAT COULD USE A VISIT FROM HIM.

I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OF YOU MY FRIEND.

I GAVE HIM YOUR NAME AND HE KNEW WHERE YOU LIVED. HE GAVE ME ANOTHER REASSURING HUG, THANKED ME AND I WALKED WITH HIM TO MY FRONT DOOR. HE TOLD ME THAT HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO YOUR PLACE.
