Santa could not wait for Christmas day so we opened up presents early this year. I have been a very good girl! He gave me a Canon 40D camera.

I am so thrilled! For me, this is like going from driving a hatchback to a Hummer. I have lots to learn so I am reading the instruction manual like the bible. I started using the camera this afternoon so here are the results of me playing around with it. Pretty amazing considering that I only used natural lighting (late in the day) and winged it with no tripod. As I get the hang of it, I will be sure to post more. Wish me luck!

I am pleased to announce that I have launched a store on Etsy. A small selection of ring holders featuring china patterns from Grosvenor, Royal Standard and Paragon are available to purchase online.

Be sure to check back in the new year when I will have more beautiful pieces listed. The images below are a few items from the store. Happy shopping!
