"Hope" is the thing with feathers --
That perches in the soul --
And sings the tune without the words --
And never stops -- at all --
And sweetest -- in the Gale -- is heard --
And sore must be the storm --
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm --
I've heard it in the chillest land --
And on the strangest Sea --
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb -- of Me.
~Emily Dickinson

Ruth this is the most beautiful pieces ever!!! Oh by the way the reason I don't have pictures of myself is because most of the time I am behind the camera and second the typical answer not crazy of the way I look these days. I promise I will try and take a few photos of me for the blog. You are one talented girl :)
Love the quote -- it goes so well with the beautiful jewelry you've created. :) Best wishes, Tammy
Wow loveee, they are all so gorgeous
I wrote down "hope is the thing with feathers". Like an angels wings, hope flutters around us as long as we keep the window open for frequent visitations.
Exquisite work!
