Merriest of Christmas Eve's

To all my readers, and customers, and special friends.....a special thanks for a wonderful year in jewelry and all the great exchanges we've had and people we've met.  Do you like my book tree??  Thank you to a dear friend for the delightful box of surprises; all kinds packages wrapped in gorgeous turquoise paper and tulle and organza and beads with shiny leaves and squiggly lavender paper confetti. I cannot wait to introduce you to my new card deck, and Tiki's going to love the unwrapping!

I'm lucky to be amidst so many kindred souls and lovers of gemstone beauty and Mother Earth. May love abound in the New Year for you.....Crystal Blessings to all!

Grapefruit Margaritas:  Silver Tequila, Triple sec, grapefruit, Izze Grapefruit soda, or Italian Grapefruit soda (pictured), lime.  I didn't have triple sec, or silver, but used a splash of Gold, and went without a salt rim and it STILL came out amazing. You can leave out the soda completely and just use grapefruit juice and lime by the way. Perfectly all right. And to all a good night!
