Halloween Party Idea
I love this drink idea for a Halloween party! Instead of using apple juice, I think I would use beer and small wine bottles. When I entertain I always like to decorate, it’s nice when the drinks are part of the decorations!

If you like art and jewelry then you will love this exhibit going on at the Museum of Arts! “Picasso to Koons: The Artist as Jeweler” showcases jewelry made by some very well known artists. Artists who you may never had known made jewelry. I’m going to try and stop by before the weekend. As a jewelry designer I have a feeling it will be a very inspiring trip!

DIY - Fabric Feathers
DIY fabric feathers are so sweet and easy! I found this DIY on the 100 Layer Cake Blog. Although the blog is dedicated to weddings + such, I think you could use this idea as an everyday hair accessory or even as garland decor. Click through the pictures for written directions.

Spain
There is nothing quite like Spain. The country has such a passion for life, color and music. Ever since L’Auberge Espagnole, I have wanted to pack a bag and set out on an adventure to Barcelona.

This Green Turquoise Necklace is one of the newest additions to the Nautical Wheeler Shop. I love the gold leafing combined with the turquoise, it gives the necklace an old world feel. I also used a wire wrapped brass chain, I think it adds to the necklace’s appeal.

What is Pendleton?
Indian blankets which later became known as Pendleton blankets, were used in the late 1800’s to trade with Native American tribes. Just like Ikat, Pendleton uses a unique style of design and colors. Today Pendleton can be found almost everywhere, from home decor to belts and handbags. Take a look at some examples I found on Etsy:
Pendleton Pillow - KenilworthPlace
