BESTeam Review for Alexander's Designs
The sub-text to Alexander's Designs declares that "ugly glass pendants are sold here" But that couldn't be farther away from the truth. Though the designs are bit unique and not the typical designs you see in department stores, they are still filled with beautiful color and one of a kind simplicity.
You know that you are getting quality not only from the designs that tempt your eyes with every glance but by the years training that has gone into each and every piece. This shop is a powerful combination of a very creative husband and wife duo, Jenny and Skip Alexander who let their love of beauty and grace shine through their work.
A fine tuned one of a kind piece of jewelry is what you will receive when you purchase their pieces but the unseen bonus will be the envy of all your friends and family as you shine with these "ugly pendants" around your neck
If you want stay up to date on their latest creations you can follow them on their Blog.
Also don't forget to check out their other shop Simply Classic Jewelry if you just can't get enough of their work

Musing on Muesums
Hello and happy Thursday to you all. Before posting my treasury of the day I thought I would show off some more photos : )
Being an artists, it would go without saying that one of my favorite things is to go to art museums. I have had the pleasure of visiting two wonderful places in lifetime. The Cincinnati Art Museum and the Nelson-Atkins in Kansas City. These wonderful galleries are completly free to the public, depending on the day, which also makes them twice as great to me. When I visited the Cincinnati museum I had not yet embraced my passion for photography, therefore I was not able to take any photos of that great collection yet, but I plan on remeding that as soon as I get the chance to head back for a visit. But for your view pleasure I did capture so fun photos at the Nelson-Atkins.
One of my favorite shots. I loved the clouds and way the building just built this guy up to the larger then life character that we know he is. This is one of about twenty casts that were made during Rodin's life. The main cast that is considered the original is located in Paris,France at the Rodin musuem. It is such a sight to behold a well known piece for the first time and among such a beautiful setting as the back lawn of the Nelson-Atkins. It just made me want to pause and maybe do a little thinking and soul searching of my own.

A little closer look at a master piece. I just love the detail of it all. I originally took this shot in color but both of these have so much more detail when switched to a black and white setting. I'll do a compare and contrast with a couple of other great sculptures next so maybe you can see what changing up the tones to a photo can do for your work.
There's not a huge difference until you put them side by side. Each one brings out something a little different. This is a sculpture by Renoir called The Large Bather also known and The Washer Woman. It's a stunning piece done by him later in life when he was crippled with Arthritius
Well thats's all I have to say today I hope you enjoyed a short jont through the lawn of a wonderful museum.
Thanks again and don't forget to vote for your favorite photo for your chance to decide your freebie!!
THANKS!!

October
“Listen! The wind is rising, and the air is wild with leaves,
We have had our summer evenings, now for October eves!”
~ Humbert Wolfe
I can't quite explain when October first became my favorite month. I can say it always had a bit of an advantage, being that it included the day of my birth. But to pinpoint that elusive day might never come to pass. Instead all I know is I love it. The smells and the crisp breeze. I even love the fact I can finally put to use the cozy clothes I purchased at an end of season clearance sale.
It also means fall craft festivals and get together. People seem to gather together like no other season of the year. Finally back from summer vacations or playing the hermit in order to take advantage of the artificial winters in their homes. People materialize and suddenly community is available for all to participate in. It's as if we sense this could be the last chance to get in some much needed socialization before the harsh breath of old man winter sweeps past our skin.
The foods are full of comfort and warmth; Pumpkin pies, bread and who could forget spiced lattes.
My question would be why anyone wouldn't make October their favorite month? What negativity could be found in such a time full of love, joy and hayrides. (other then those with hay fever)
There's not really anything of etsy interest in this post but I really just wanted to share my love of the season. I hope to see some of you at the area craft shows.
I do want to feature a few photos I took that won't be for sale on Etsy but instead just fills me with pride and goosebumps all the same. We had a great opportunity in Joplin to view a piece of the World Trade Center that was being shipped to Washington State for a memorial there. To see the snarled metal and think about what it represented overwhelmed me. It was hard to get a shot that really encompassed the emotion associated with an object that would normally be nothing more than scrap metal otherwise. It was beautiful all the same. The first photo is the best shot I could get to show off it's simple beauty.

With those photos I'll close my Friday post. I think I'm going to take the weekend off and see what fun things I can come up with to talk about.
For your freebie, if you have an area movie theater in your area and have wanted to save just a bit of cash in your entertainment budget then I would check to see if they have a website and sign up for their newsletter. Many a times you are sent a coupon for a free popcorn or drink. The theaters I know do this off hand are Hollywood Theaters and Rave Motion Pictures. Check them out and see what goodies you might be in store for in the future.
