About Me: Welcome to my Secret Garden of Fanciful things for Magical Spaces. I love to create unusual jewelry for discerning faeries & elven folk...and am now finding that mortals appreciate it too:-)
Music: One of my other "hats" is musician...I play bouzouki and mandolin in a Celtic band. We dont really have dreams of becoming famous or anything, just play to have a good time and often my old house is full to the rafters with jam sessioners and laughter...its a good life!
Here are some of my favorite professional musicians:
Old Blind Dogs Runrig Oysterband Butch Robins The Waterboys Juluka Roger Landes Steve Earle Blackmore's Night Rich Mullins Andy McKee(he really DID play at our wedding:-)

Movies: LOTR Chocolat Labyrinth Willow
Ladyhawke Stardust(especially the bits that were filmed in the fairy glen on the Isle of Skye: Peter Pan Hook Finding Neverland Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events(Billy Connolly was magic as Uncle Monty) Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Mary Poppins The Man Who Sued God Braveheart Mystery Men Local Hero

TV: First the caveat that I try not to watch TV when at all possible, and if I never owned one again I would be okay with that. When I DO watch tho, I get hooked and my faves generally fall into one of two categories, Sci-fi or British Comedy (House actually counts here because Hugh Laurie is one of the KINGS of Britcoms...:-):
Dr. Who Torchwood The Dresden Files (I cant help it, gotta love a grown up wizard named Harry dont we?) House FAWLTY TOWERS (the absolute funniest 12 episodes ever in the history of Television!) Only Fools and Horses Black Adder Black Books Coupling (BBC, NOT the US version, why on earth did they even try that??)
ANYTHING THAT EDDIE IZZARD IS EVER IN!!!! especially Glorious, Dressed To Kill, Circle-in French, and The Riches. Same goes for my beloved Billy Connolly...he is so funny it hurts:-).
We had a wonderful summer roaming around the middle of the country and selling our wares at rennaissance festivals....we have two more to go and then probably will take a winter break (unless we get restless and decide to head to Florida;-)
I will do a more detailed post about our adventures sometime soon, but in the meantime I will post a few updates on new creations and imaginations I have been playing with...
Evenstar (Undómiel in the Elvish tongue) was the name given to Arwen by her grandmother Galadriel..a prophetic name, for she was indeed the Evening Star of her people.
In this new elven forest range, I set the purples & pinks of a twilight sky amidst shimmery starlike crystals and leaves.
These pieces started as a routine custom order, but got out of hand and turned into a whole new jewelry range! I love when that happens!!
So far I only have ear cuff and pendant, but plans are in the works for elven headdress, bracelet, earrings, hair fanices and more..if you would like to order any of those pieces before I list them, just drop me a line.
Well its been awhile since I posted here, but Ive been so busy- we are getting ready to head out on the road, and I wanted to share the excitememnt;) Our very first Renaissance Festival is coming up in two weeks and preparations are down to the wire...We will be at the Medieval Fair in Norman, Oklahoma April 3-5. We just got our booth assignment and it looks GREAT. Here's the map- our booth is where the purple heart is...right in the middle of the southwest section of the fair, between the Gypsy Stage and the Gryphon Stage!!:)
Ian has been making displays and getting our tent ready and we realised that in order to talk to one another coherently about Thyme2dream ear decor, some of my pieces need better names!
SO~ as of now~ the Emerald Forest Elven Ear Cuff at left and all cuffs with embellishments that sit on the ear are officially called Ear Vines.
My ever popular simple cuff is still called an ear cuff:) This is one of the first cuff designs I made, and still one of my top sellers.. And YES you can request this one in any Swarovski colour they make~no extra charge! I also have "ear cuffs" with wee gemstone shape beads; hearts,stars, and moons
Then we have the Bohemian Wraps...Ian with his cheeky sense of humour came up with the name for this style a while ago. He is a big Queen fan and thought it would be funny if my ear wraps which are rather boho and gypsy in style were named after Bohemian Rhapsody...I do humor him sometimes;)
So far, these are called 2 in 1 Ear Cuff Dangles..rather a pedantic name, but the idea is there. With this style, the basic ear cuff at top is embellished by the addition of one or more danglie bits. They are "2 in 1" because I make them so they can be worn with or without the dangles..kind of fun!
My other news is that I have opened up a shop on the new artisans site, Artfire..I still have my Etsy shop open, but I am loving ArtFire more every day...visit my new shop to see all my newest goodies:
I havent had time to decorate my house yet (that usually happens about Christmas Eve;) so I decided I would decorate my blog with a few more Christmassy looking items.
Originally designed at a customer's request, it began life as a costume crown for Jadis the White Witch of Narnia, along with a Unicorn Horn for her miniature horse ...it was a fun project!
Here are couple more items I have in myHOLIDAY SALE section now through Christmas:
