Visit the Shop

1KM is a beautiful website and I will continue to add to my shop there as time goes on...the only drawback is that is is currently a USA only website. This is not my choice, it is a site-wide limitation due to restrictions from Amazon payments.

International friends please visit me at Thyme2dream ArtFire :-)

My Bright-Eyed Grandson, Aidan

This is my new cellphone wallpaper:) He's such a happy baby!! Almost 4 months old now!

Victorian Twilight Collection

No, I didnt name these after the Vampire books;-) BUT I do think there is a bit of a goth feel to this colour range and I quite enjoyed creating all the pieces to go with it!







This will be a limited collection- I bought the very last supply of those gorgeous lavender leaves from my supplier, and havent found them anywhere else so when they are gone these designs will be retired...







Im also introducing a new style with this range- the corded choker/necklace as shown here- these are so easy to wear, they adjust from 13-25 inches so can be worn with a variety of necklines and styles...I even had one customer tell me she wears hers as a circlet (with the focal bit hanging on the forehead) with one of her elven costumes:-)

An Ear Cuff by Any Other Name

So what exactly IS an ear Cuff, ear vine, Bohemian Wrap??


Whilst getting ready for our first live shows this spring, Ian has been busy making displays and getting our tent ready. In the midst of this, we realised that in order to talk to one another coherently about Thyme2dream ear decor, some of my pieces need better names!

SO~ as of now~ the
Emerald Forest Elven Ear Cuff at left and all cuffs with embellishments that sit on the ear are officially called Ear Vines.









My ever popular simple cuff is still called an ear cuff:) This is one of the first cuff designs I made, and still one of my top sellers.. And YES you can request this one in any Swarovski colour they make~no extra charge! I also have "ear cuffs" with wee gemstone shape beads; hearts, stars, and moons








Then we have the Bohemian Wraps...Ian with his cheeky sense of humour came up with the name for this style a while ago. He is a big Queen fan and thought it would be funny if my ear wraps which are rather boho and gypsy in style were named after Bohemian Rhapsody...I do humor him sometimes;)









So far, these are called 2 in 1 Ear Cuff Dangles..rather a pedantic name, but the idea is there. With this style, the basic ear cuff at top is embellished by the addition of one or more danglie bits. They are "2 in 1" because I make them so they can be worn with or without the dangles..kind of fun!
