We'll be having weekly sales through the end of the year where we feature a particular theme or section on a generous discount!<br />
Through October 6th we have our entire Charms and Pendants at 50% off!<br />
These are ready to wear, ready to pop on a chain or bracelet. Some have clips on them (lobster claws) to add to charm bracelets or cases/purses! See a few examples right here!<br />
<br />
Look for special themed discounts throughout the rest of the year!<br />
Happy Fall Y'all!<br />

Artistic therapy.... I have come to realize that artistic expression is my therapy... physically, mentally and spiritually... when I get in that artist zone I am at peace, whisked away. Something I did today, I worked on some "ATC's" (artists trading cards) -- for those that are not familiar, they are small art -- 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches - some folks make prints this size, digital art, originals, mixed media. <br />
<br />
The start of these mini art masterpieces was prompted by the downward spiral of the economy many years ago. the portability of small art (very easy to store, move, etc)...and the prohibitive costs of collecting larger pieces of art...these little pieces of heaven are a little enjoyment of mine -- I personally began collecting this and creating this in 2010. I have been active since 2010 in a monthly ATC trade event at <a href="http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwillowing.ning.com%2F&h=kAQFqY0eMAQGJtTHT-fsSl0tmLco5DBuHnsg3TUTYjeihHw&enc=AZNYxa4Zll-JsfwZPOB5E7nU8U0oQgfvnxGkygA-ZIRRpkwW4h-vzNHxfaESMJNWX-iCK9YnrjbBSY1rty9wWb0O7BP6Ii3lQtMbxn45F-7iHFeXpe1pymvDjzjEbhgWgvnCp2pgm1KQ52V6Batl-XuVZJ5wwlzALnOD-9AJ4BgooMhm4YCmkmMVLi1ASn26Ee8&s=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://willowing.ning.com/</a> <br />
<br />
I will post a few pics in this blog of some original mixed media ATCs that I created for the Sept. 2016 ATC exchange. I not only do these for pleasure but do list them in my shop on Etsy and have actually sold several of them over the years. <br />
<br />
If you are an artist, or aspiring artist, you may want to check out this site. I am not "advertising" for them -- the creator is a dear soul, also using art as therapy and teaching people to use art as therapy - the site is very nice, and I've been going to it since 2010 -- so I wanted to share this with anyone that was interested. Peace and Art! - V<br />

The ambience is excellent. We were there for an early lunch once and an early dinner. Both times (11am, 430pm) were quiet and enjoyable. The service was really good, the food quality was phenomenal! I highly recommend it!<br />
<br />
Some of our favorites are:<br />
<ul><li><span style="font-size: large;">Beer Battered basket of Shrimp (lunch) (yum, yum, yum)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Lump Crab & Shrimp Cocktail Jumbo Lump Crab and Poached White Shrimp (appetizer) (extravagant, but oh so good!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Cider-Soaked Double-Cut Prime Pork Chop well-marbled Chop marinated in a Brace’s Apple Cider, then Char-Grilled and finished with a Maple Glaze and Cranberry Drizzle, served with Pumpkin & Butternut Squash Risotto </span>(dinner) (a quality looking, tasting and sizeable pork chop, exquisite! </li>
</ul><br />
And my most favorite....<br />
<ul><li><span style="font-size: large;">Chicken Chasseur Sautéed Chicken Scaloppini with Forrest Mushroom </span><span style="font-size: large;">Marsala Demi Glace, Oven-dried Tomatoes and Tarragon Butter served with </span><span style="font-size: large;">Jasmine Rice and Chef’s Vegetables (Dinner)</span> (this just melted in my mouth! the mushroom deme glace was superb, the rice was tender and flavorful and the vegetables featured a wide variety of non-traditional vegetables!)</li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Orange Cognac Salad </span><span style="font-size: medium;">Field Greens tossed with Orange Cognac Dressing, dried Cranberries, candied Walnuts, and Gorgonzola (if you get a chance to try this...it is like having desert before dinner, the flavors are just so nice together! the dressing is smooth and the crunch from the candied walnuts just gives it a great punch!)</span><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></li>
</ul><span style="font-size: large;">They have a website:</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">There’s a girl who was raised to believe that love is suffering</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">She grows up and the man like a father gives her a wedding ring</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now she walks around up constant companion, our resentment, fear and sadness</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The lack of laughter turns to cancer, this song is dedicated to her</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The worst disease in the world</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It’s not cancer, it’s not aids</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The cure will not be found</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">By any physicist or scientist</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Cause any cure living every single one of us</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The worst disease in the world is hate</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And the cure for hate is love</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh love, oh love, oh love</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Picture this:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">There’s a boy who was abused when he was 12 years old</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now guilt lives in the pit of his stomach and even though he’s grown</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">He believes he deserves to be punished, now he lives his life past and reckless</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Searching for love, helpless, this song is dedicated to him</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The worst disease in the world</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It’s not cancer, it’s not aids</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The cure will not be found</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh love, oh love, oh love</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It may seem</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">When I’m looking at the world through those kind of glasses</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I believe that it’s so simple but sometimes it looks complicated</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">God’s love is like sunshine not be recognized</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The most powerful energy in the universe </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And all we have to do is use it</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">You may think</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">That there’s nothing in the world that you can do but that ain’t the truth</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The fact of the matter is the battle world begins with you</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Be the best person you can be</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Pass those values to your family</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And when you pray for those you love</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Say a prayer for humanity</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
