Barefoot & Stardust

Well okay, its a wee bit too cold for the barefoot part just now, but a while back when trying to explain my fashion sense to someone I came up with this as a contrast to stockings and stilletos (which I am NOT;)...barefoot & stardust really sums it up I think. Anyway, here is the latest result of my love affair with Labradorite (aka "temple of the stars"), my Stardust Labradorite Heart Ear Cuff

I only have a few of these delightful labradorite faceted hearts, so this design will only be available for a limited time..get it while you can;-)

Deck the blogs

I havent had time to decorate my house yet (that usually happens about Christmas Eve at my house) so I decided I would decorate my blog with a few more Christmassy looking items.

This is my newest listing, although not a new design~ Brighid's Yule Crown.

Originally designed at a customer's request, it began life as a costume crown for Jadis the White Witch of Narnia , along with a Unicorn Horn for her miniature horse ...it was a fun project!




Here are couple more items I have in my HOLIDAY SALE section now through Christmas:


Red Fairy Elven Forest Earrings


Red Fairy Elven Forest Ear Cuff

Fairy Delightful Cherry Blossom Ear Cuff

Im a busy little elf this year, so I havent had much time to work on new designs, except when asked by a customer (THANK YOU!!:-)...here is a new creation I made for a customer in Japan to match a fuchsia earring she had. I wasnt too sure about the pink (pink scares me a little bit, but so far my experiences with it have turned out okay, lol) but this one is now my favorite new design:)

Yes- it is available for sale HERE

Breath of Heaven

The Breath of Heaven ear cuff is one of my older designs, but I thought I would feature it because (in case you hadnt noticed;) I love Christmas!!


This ear cuff was originally created to bless a very special Christian wisewoman friend of mine when she became an elder. I was also inspired by a lovely Christmas song called Breath of Heaven, which speaks to me of Mary's transition from Maiden to Mother by the 'breath of heaven'

The design features a Lapis Lazuli drop. Lapis is the sapphire of biblical writings and it is said in Jewish legends that the Torah was given to Moses on tablets of this stone...it has thus come to represent the Word of God and, by association, the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit).

I also included garnet to represent redemption, amethyst for the royal priesthood of the believer and a heart of rainbow moonstone to signify Light and the delight of the new covenant announced by the angels as "Peace on Earth".

Spirals were often used in ancient Celtic artwork, and represent journeys of the spirit.

This cuff is still available in my Etsy Shop, but may not be for much longer..I am almost out of the gorgeous moonstone heart beads and havent been able to find a new source for them. (If any of my beady friends know where I can find them please let me know:)

The Gypsy Starchild and the Bohemian Wraps

My whole venture into jewelry started with my 88 year old grandma asking if I could make ear cuffs a few years ago...I had been twisting wire for a few months or so and making suncatchers and other "fanciful things for magical spaces". When Grandma asked if I could make an ear cuff I decided this was one of the coolest ideas I had heard! I dont have pierced ears, never have never will- but I LOVE danglie things hanging from my ears..ear cuffs have been the perfect solution for me- clip-ons are awful things!

Once in awhile I like to really go boho gypsy and wear LOTS of dangles on one or both ears (usually one, Im weirdly asymmetrical like that), so I came up with these behind the ear wraps that have a dangle at top and bottom.




These are a lot of fun for me to make..I get to do some more traditional bead stringing, and still be gypsy girl organic with my gemstones and stuff.

I was trying to figue out what to call these, and my beloved Ian-master of slightly corny word plays-suggested Bohemian Wraps...because he is a Queen fan, and my maternal ancestors are from Bohemia...and these are just Boho all the way around anyway- it fit, it stuck, and they are now a complete "range" in my shops on Etsy and DaWanda

You can find my Bohemian Wraps in the Ear cuffs section of Thyme2dream Etsy, or click on any photo here to be taken to that individual listing. They are easy to wear, very adjustable, and can be worn with or without earrings..they also work delightfully with my 2 in 1 dangle ear cuffs for a LOT of gypsy dangle action!

Danglies n Sparklies n Stuff

(Thanks again to everyone who stopped by the Etsy Trunk Show...we had a lot of fun!) Quick post cos Im still playing catch up...here are some of my new danglie sparklie earcuff designs just listed in my Etsy Shop:


Moonlit Bower 2 in 1 Ear Cuff


Emerald Forest Fairy Ear Cuff Dangle



Bajoran Fairy Earcuff/Earring Combination
So are there fairies on Bajor?
I dunno, but if there are I think they
would wear something like this;)

A Bit of Jewelry in Between

Here is my new Red Fairy Ear Cuff! I love the photo above because my wee garden fairy is holding the cuff, but I know its not the best photo of the actual jewelry...so here is one with my favorite chunk of Sodalite as a prop

Sophia's Fairy Woods Ear Cuff

Available now in my Etsy shop: Thyme2dream
This is a variation of my Lothlorien Spring fairy earcuff, and named in honor of the newest member of our Clan, my niece Sophia. She arrived in our midst on Tax Day (we like it much better now,lol) and has been a wee bundle of joy ever since. Purple is her mum's favorite colour and the pink leaves in this cuff reminded me of her cute little baby pink cheeks:

My Newest: Rivendell Elven Forest Set

I am having a lot of fun coming up with new colour themes based on places and characters from the Lord of the Rings series...this particular set was named after I made it. A customer asked for all "blues and greens" in an earcuff, and these beads came together almost magically- from there I just had to make more of the set, and the Rivendell Spring series was born.

My next project is to come up with a range based on a character who was only in the books...her name is Goldberry and she was the wife of Tom Bombadil (one of my FAVORITE characters!) I was disappointed that they left him out of the movies, but there was only so much they could do with the time constraints they had- I know there are a few of us who would sit through a 6 hour movie if it was set in Middle Earth, but not too many;-)

Rivendell Spring is available in my Etsy shop...follow the link below, and then type in "Rivendell" in the search box at the top of the screen

Victorian Spring Fairy Ear Cuff

This is a variation on my Lothlorien Spring ear cuff... I was delighted with the way the pink leaves and pearls combined to give it a vintage "victorian" air. I also decided it was a bit more fairy than elven, so its officially a fairy cuff, lol

The Victorian Spring Fairy Cuff is available in my etsy shop:
