"Tiny Angels"

This new collection, "Tiny Angels" has been very popular. They make wonderful gifts for new babies, birthdays, weddings...to name a few occasions. They are all original, one of a kind. The paintings are acrylic on 5 x 7 flat canvas suitable for framing or to display on a table or bookshelf.


Special Angel..."Angel Ascending"

A friend of mine, Barbara Howell, recently purchased one of my angel paintings, "Angel Ascending". Barbara and Dirk lost their precious and beautiful daughter, Amanda, a few years ago. This painting spoke to Barbara...and this is the picture she sent me after she framed the painting & found a special place for it in her home.

Pearls are a symbol of love as well as the June birthstone

Trends come & go & come back again! From bohemian to rustic to formal, brides today are making their weddings more whimsical, more fun, and more personal. Wedding styles have come into the 21st century as modern brides are deciding to make their big day truly their own. 

However, amid all the planning and trending, pearls remain the number one choice for brides and special occasions. Pearls are classic...they have endured the test of time and add a touch of class to any outfit. They are also symbolic of love.

Here are a few of the designs offered by Trinkets for that special day or just to wear everyday! To purchase any of these designs, go to www.trinketsjewelry.etsy.com

What is "Boho Chic"?

"Boho Chic" is a style born in the 70's. Rooted in the bohemian/hippie movement, the look is trending in both interiors and fashion & shows no signs of stopping. Inspiration can be drawn from the 70's icons such as actresses Ali MacGraw and Faye Dunaway to present day actress Sienna Miller.

The style is characterized by organic, colorful folk-inspired pieces mixed with touches of modern. Hoop earrings, fringe vests, purses, and jackets...tunics, headwraps, peasant tops, floppy hats...are just a few of the design elements. Nothing says Boho like true vintage!
