keeping busy without much to post about

good stuff from the weekend

roses from the garden

a big pan of ribs from the smoker

strawberry sour cream pie
I used this recipe

and more bangle stacks were made
here on etsy

So really, can a weekend get any better than that.

The Extra Hand

THE HAND has been put to work as a photography prop for this latest stack of bangles. It worked well and I wonder why I haven't been using it more for staging the jewelry photographs.

Bangle Stack 42

Maybe, I haven't used THE HAND in photographing my jewelry because it reminds me of the classic Iris Apfel bangle photograph. But then using hands to display jewelry is only natural.
