This natural masterpiece has such organic texture to it.  I personally, am for the grain.  ;)

Beth, of bmuse27 on Etsy, has put together this lovely collection which includes this piece from my Cinnamon Roll Collection.



These earrings are made of wooden gogo beads, of which the grain is very evident.  Truly a compliment for the naturalist or boho chic at heart.

I loved the look of this design, so I created a full collection featuring the "cinnamon roll" look.  The collection includes two earring styles and a matching necklace.

The full Cinnamon Roll Collection may be found in my jewelry, as well as other wooden creations.



Many thanks to Beth for featuring my earrings in your collection!

Serpentis Bracelet for Jill

Serpentis Bracelet for Jill, originally uploaded by la Naváa.

My friend and co-worker, who just happens to be a la Naváa lover, recently requested that I make a bracelet to match a necklace she recently purchased from me.

The necklace is a long, linked style, with long oval shaped Chrysoprase  gemstones complimented by smaller round Chrysoprase and wooded beads.

I made Jill a pair of dangly earrings to match the necklace using the round Chrysoprase and wooden beads.  She loved the look so much that she asked for a bracelet with the same style; aww... the Serpentis Bracelet came to be.

The newly designed and created Serpentis Bracelet will be a lovely addition to Jill's set.

~ Christmas in July ~

I would have to say that my favorite holiday is Christmas. I love the togetherness it brings. Friends and family seem to come closer during this time of the year. It’s easy to forget the real purpose of Christmas, and why we are here.  But once that Christmas music starts playing on the radio it all comes back.

 Too bad we have to wait a whole year to feel sentimental, and do nice things for each other. While I can’t speed up the clock (nor do I really want to :/ ), I can bring a bit of the holiday rush to you now, in July.

la Naváa is participating in Etsy’s 2010 “Christmas in July” event. Selected la Naváa designs have been reduced in price and are shipped to you for free!

Take a look at my Christmas in July Sale section to see all my specials. Hope you find something you like! Or perhaps you’ve had your eye on one. ;)

It’s never too soon to start your holiday shopping. Only 157 days till Christmas!

Have you started your shopping?
