Holder of MemoriesHolder of Memories

Finding these moments so precious and few
Just the two of us no one to intrude
Alone with each other after months of separation
The moment is right the sun is not too bright
Picking our way down the muddy bank
The river before us the perfect location
This place is serene the sun dazzling in our eyes
Our laughter wrinkles the water a physical sunshine
It's time for a new place so up the slope we go
Back into the woods my lead your follow
Trudging through the bushes and trees,
You and I share the silliest of things
I stop and position you just so in the light,
You grumble but pose
Sticking out your tongue an

I see her standing at the door
Not quite in, not quite out
I offer her a smile and usher her in
Offering my assistance as she takes a seat
Her eyes say little and her mouth even less
But she nods in my direction, a thank you
I return to my chair but keep my eye on her
She pulls out a ragged notebook and a pen
Her eyes glued to the cover as she sets to work
From what I can see
Her work is nothing more than doodles
But her intensity makes me think
That it means much more
I let her alone for a while
But something draws me to her table
She senses my approach and covers her work
Her hands cupping the image protectively

An Opportunity Worth TakingAn Opportunity Worth Taking

Charles St. Clair opened the door and walked out into a world filled with new and endless possibilities. The sun was bright and low in the sky, the birds were singing their song of good morning and the sidewalk was clear of twigs and scum. It was a fine start to what seemed like a bright day for him.
Closing the door quietly, lest he wake Mother, he strode off the front porch of the great manor with such assertion in his steps that anyone who would have walked past at that moment, would have thought to themselves, "There goes a man of importance". They would have observed his pressed pants with the crease just s

Maze of MirrorsMaze of Mirrors
"This is called the Maze of Mirrors!" A voice shouted, using a show host exuberance that she saw through right away. She looked around for the 'maze' but saw only five elongated wall length mirrors facing her from across the room. Outside of those mirrors, the room was empty, no maze insight.
"You will have two hours to complete the maze. Two hours to make it through the many obstacles before the other contestants and return for your prize,"
At the word 'contestants' she finally noticed that she wasn't alone in the room; ordinary, like her, taken from their jobs and everyday routine to participate in this 'Maze of Mirror

"So, what are you thinking of getting?"
"I don't know." I gazed forlornly at the many choices listed, "What are you thinking of getting?"
"I don't know either, not really."
The rich smells from the brewing coffee made my mouth water. I peeked around my sister to see the Barista eyeing us from her spot by the cash register. Her face didn't look that inviting, and I didn't think that she looked that patient either. Just a little to her left at a small corner table sat a couple talking in exaggerated hushed tones. Occasionally their level raised above a mummer but a quick look around made them lower th

Ever the Beauty: Ava Gardnerby *DOC-Ash1391

Artisan Crafts / Jewelry / Necklaces & Pendants

Ever the Beauty,
Ava was a southern belle with a thick Carolina accent that made it nearly impossible for others to understand her. It was her beauty, a natural beauty, that first got her noticed by the MGM studios. In fact, "Louis B. Mayer, head of the studio, sent a telegram to Al: "She [Ava] can't sing, she can't act, she can't talk, She's terrific!"" She was hired to be eye candy. But, as beautiful women tend to do, she surprised them with her willingness to learn all of those things that they said she couldn't do. Ava has sense been labeled one of the most beautiful and talented actresses of the Golden Age. Even after her death in 1990, she still is, ever the Beauty.

Her Necklace: When I think of Ava Gardner, I always pictured these luxurious and dark colors. Golds and browns to cream colored pearls. All of them spoke "Ava" to me...but not separately.

Because, as one knows, it takes many facets to make one beautiful. The necklace can be worn long or short. The short way spreads out into a dainty choker while the long way hangs down to form a thick but intricate center piece.

I've always considered Ava Gardner as a kind of dark beauty (way too dark for hollywood cheap glam), you captured this well in your piece. Bravo.

Thank you very much! I appreciate that comment and compliment.
I am glad that I am not the only one to think her too dark for the 'bimbos of hollywood'.

Though, some of those women were pretty. What I like is that she was an average woman who was simply beautiful. Thats why I like her.

Hi, deary!

It looks nice, congrats forthe necklace!

*DOC-Ash1391 Jan 4, 2013 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

Hey to you as well!
Nice to see you poking on back in here.
How the heck have you been???

Thank you very much. I rather like this one as well.
I finally finished the series and now I am thinking about starting another one.

Still fishing around though.

Thank you very much!

Tootles!

Smart that it is two necklases in one! Lovely design.
Personaly I'm not a fan of rich dark brown colors but I like this piece

The color combo is really nice

It is a bit "look but do not touch"

*DOC-Ash1391 Jan 1, 2013 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

I felt the same in a way.

I could never really see myself wearing this...but my mom on the other hand? Now she would look DAMN fine in this.

Older women usually can pull this sort of thing off better than young women.

~NaimaAldarion Jan 2, 2013 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

I think you are wright! It would look really nice on a more mature woman

~Muggle-Angel Dec 20, 2012

Do you have any pics of this being worn? Because I would love to see this necklace actually on someone, preferably both ways!?! Either way it's worn, I'm sure it would be gorgeous!
