Lotus Flower & Moroccan Inspired Turquoise Ring in the Making

This photo is from the 2016 Sundance Harvest Market. Fall has come and certainly caught me off guard, in fact we have already had snow up in the mountains. I think fall is my favorite season. I love fire pits, sweater weather, pumpkin spice, and the bite in the air. Fall is also the calm before the storm so to speak, when I have finished up all my summer markets and I get to catch my breath a little before the holidays put me into overdrive. This year I was able to participate in the Sundance Harvest Market which acted […]more
