This wonderful group of Artists gift celebrities through the Artisan Group at Gift Lounges celebrating Awards like, The Emmy Awards, The Oscars, The Golden Globes and the MTV Movie Awards.<br />
<br />
Previously I've had the chance to gift celebrities with my handmade Lucite Flowers at the GBK Golden Globes Gift Lounge. I was among many other fabulous and talented Artists, all represented by our Founder, Valerie Guerrero. You can see<a href="http://www.theartisangroup.org/gallery/2012-gbk-golden-globes#!golden_globes_20120119_1583694746" target="_blank"> </a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">Actress Callie Thorne showing off our Feminine Steampunk necklace</a> here.<br />
<br />
Many Celebrities have been impressed and in love with the handcrafted work of the members of The Artisan Group. So much that The Artisan Group has been able to gift hit TV Shows and Movies to be considered for the show.<br />
<br />
One such TV Show is <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1405406/" target="_blank">The Vampire Diaries</a>. These past two Seasons of The Vampire Diaries has featured many designs created by fellow Artisan Group members. The Stylist of the series goes through all the handcrafted goodies gifted by members of The Artisan Group and selects what best suits the characters in upcoming episodes. We can never be sure whose products will be selected. We create what we think best fits the show and then cross our fingers, therefore it's quite an exhilarating surprise for the Artists when our designs get selected. So far, The Vampire Diaries Stylist has received 3 big bags of Swag from the Artisan Group to choose from.<br />
<br />
Last night, on Season 5, Episode 14, the character Caroline, played by Actress <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2127038/" target="_blank">Candice Accola</a> wore our very own design. You can just make out our <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/171732916/purple-velvet-lucite-flower-earrings?ref=shop_home_active_22" target="_blank">purple velvet Lucite Flower Earrings</a> as Caroline works through the confusion revolving around Katherine and Matt. Though the earrings are not easy to be seen through her beautiful hair, you can get a peek of them if you are watching.<br />

Tune into next week's episode of The Vampire Diaries. You just might spot more designs by members of The Artisan Group being worn by your favorite characters.<br />
<br />
<br />Melissa Arnoldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10485490184101230537noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2575807399358850592.post-55679254168825669602013-11-09T05:45:00.001-08:002013-11-09T05:45:22.820-08:00Gifted to Selena Gomez at the Los Angeles After PartyThis past Thursday we gifted <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1411125/" target="_blank">Selena Gomez</a> and her crew through <a href="http://www.theartisangroup.org/" target="_blank">The Artisan Group</a>. We are so excited and thrilled to have been part of this fabulous opportunity and to have a chance to gift such a talented and stylish woman.<br />
<br />
Selena Gomez sang at a sold out concert at <a href="http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/posts/la-et-ms-review-selena-gomez-brings-stars-dance-staples-center-20131107,0,3043806.story#axzz2k5UIvpBg" target="_blank">Staples Center in Los Angeles</a>. During the after-party, Selena Gomez, her band and crew were gifted with handcrafted products from The Artisan Group by various talented Artists.<br />
<br />
We created three new designs for this event that have yet to hit our shop as we've been waiting till after the event to list them. So in the coming days you will see these three new, fabulous designs.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPK0NxxCxwKIFVTnz-RHrltTjXuwv-_d-3CZV7lB-tmGfaTDyyGWyhxc4MUHtQGkagYaVQexEOprJkkR6ZjpRJVu9WZiQSWtK6XUK_tLi7pmqqZuJCFkaAgwAqQedax3atAbko6FJygls/s1600/the+ladies+of+the+9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="293" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPK0NxxCxwKIFVTnz-RHrltTjXuwv-_d-3CZV7lB-tmGfaTDyyGWyhxc4MUHtQGkagYaVQexEOprJkkR6ZjpRJVu9WZiQSWtK6XUK_tLi7pmqqZuJCFkaAgwAqQedax3atAbko6FJygls/s400/the+ladies+of+the+9.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
We gifted 5 of these necklaces for the ladies of Selena's band and crew. It features a small, open face pocket watch with pink Chinese crystals with various hues of purple and greens peeking through. This is a small, light-weight design with a real functioning pocket watch. To stay cruelty-free we used glass pearls to accent the crystals. This pocket watch necklace retails at $105.00<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1NxfpNZfjlUjP1KE6CwN6wgt4_2y1mGdFDqC_4FLXZgUcYSyOXunnUH_PCansT0kf_fkt37Y7eEBbv8302SFpPOQlDgFpD-1f7fB-9r_SoWPBhzDO5YHK-Hd7cCq8J7grb3xHH0RdFCo/s1600/gentleman's+pocket+watch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="293" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1NxfpNZfjlUjP1KE6CwN6wgt4_2y1mGdFDqC_4FLXZgUcYSyOXunnUH_PCansT0kf_fkt37Y7eEBbv8302SFpPOQlDgFpD-1f7fB-9r_SoWPBhzDO5YHK-Hd7cCq8J7grb3xHH0RdFCo/s400/gentleman's+pocket+watch.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
This handsome design is the first of many new concepts. We designed and gifted 4 of these new fashion accessories knowing that there would of course be talented gentlemen among Selena's band and crew. We fashioned this pocket watch into a new era of gentleman's pocket watches that fits our modern day style for youths. It can be difficult creating jewelry for men, and so that was our challenge. We were not commissioned to create this piece as all the gifts were a surprise - but we knew we needed to provide some pieces that men could wear.<br />
<br />
This roman numeral pocket watch does indeed work. This new design retails at $105.00<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho8lZbPeE1ycpYD4FiWC4JwK9vvTlmkyNF6C5c1SLW-eYMfJCKIb87RCYYprjemv95sHzNreGNZSxY5zMohyphenhyphen1NtQM2s1m33ULQNWJhzgwSo0LcpTXgQ2wvsGD08yoWxlzsuLd_r6362UA/s1600/VIP+gifted+necklace.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho8lZbPeE1ycpYD4FiWC4JwK9vvTlmkyNF6C5c1SLW-eYMfJCKIb87RCYYprjemv95sHzNreGNZSxY5zMohyphenhyphen1NtQM2s1m33ULQNWJhzgwSo0LcpTXgQ2wvsGD08yoWxlzsuLd_r6362UA/s400/VIP+gifted+necklace.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Last but not least, we hoped to have wowed Selena with this beautiful necklace we have created. This heart pocket watch opens on the side and swivels completely around. We used gorgeous and radiant fuchsia and tanzanite Chinese crystals accented with purple and blue pave rondelles. This design is lariat length, and just like the other pocket watch designs, this pocket watch also works.<br />
<br />
This piece retails at $179.00<br />
<br />

Our <a href="http://sahetahsjewelry.mysupadupa.com/collections/feminine-steampunk" target="_blank">Feminine Steampunk</a> collection is derived from the <a href="http://www.steampunk.com/what-is-steampunk/" target="_blank">Steampunk genre</a> which is a very rustic, industrial fashion look. However we have designed our collection around modern, classy looks for women. So you don't have to put on a corset to wear our collection. Just select something semi-casual or glamorous and own your day!<br />
<br />
Check out some of our new designs below!<br />

Sometimes it's great to go exploring and take a break to see what other Artists are designing and crafting. We explore new ideas and concepts driven by our passion and need to create. We are inspired by the simplest things that can take us far beyond into magical territory.<br />
<br />
This morning on a trip through the Etsy land, I've found <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtfulInclinations/about/" target="_blank">Artful Inclinations</a><br />
<br />
The work of Artful Inclinations is made by two artists, Shelly and Joy. It's a fusion of Steampunk and Goth along with some very ethereal Elvish elements.<br />
<br />
I'm sure that as we speak, they are rocking their State in CA with their astounding work. Surprisingly however, their work is undiscovered on Etsy. I don't think such wonderful talent should be hidden from the online market. So if you love the work you'll see, please LIKE and share their <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtfulInclinations?ref=top_trail" target="_blank">shop</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ArtfulInclinations" target="_blank">fanpage</a> on your fanpages, twitter and blogs :)<br />
<br />
Here's just a few beautiful pieces I'd love to share from their shop. If you love what you see just click on the image to be taken to the listing. Enjoy!<br />

Well, one thing I've foolishly ignored is how much people LOVE bracelets. I've always noticed at shows that customers love to touch, hold and play with bracelets more than any other piece of jewelry, yet I don't have much for customers to play with.<br />
<br />
So this Spring I have decided to change all that. For the past month and
a half I've been hard at work increasing the stock of all my jewelry
categories. So far I've filled a special earring rack of discount
earrings that will only be sold at the <a href="http://www.madebyhandshow.ca/" target="_blank">Made By Hand Show</a>. I've also did a huge push of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/SahetahsJewelry?section_id=10417439" target="_blank">Lucite flower earrings</a> and I've made several <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/SahetahsJewelry?section_id=10882113" target="_blank">bookmarks</a>. I have yet to do a big push in <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/SahetahsJewelry?section_id=10292991" target="_blank">Feminine Steampunk necklaces</a> and my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/SahetahsJewelry?section_id=7991160" target="_blank">Lucite flower necklaces</a> - but those are next!<br />
<br />
So back to the bracelets...here is a "photo journal" of the past two and a half days. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgyX9xXpG3me9ISZD-4VXkS4noK_rMPmKn9tk9pvWrLto0T9zJ0lBFtvNZFCUOZEs0PkjGUl3otp5TX6Psuq0xi2mkvUJDB2KMOCesehGhSVjiw5LMfsFXis0zn0a2hJte8bb2EQEGe2s/s1600/_DSC4391.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgyX9xXpG3me9ISZD-4VXkS4noK_rMPmKn9tk9pvWrLto0T9zJ0lBFtvNZFCUOZEs0PkjGUl3otp5TX6Psuq0xi2mkvUJDB2KMOCesehGhSVjiw5LMfsFXis0zn0a2hJte8bb2EQEGe2s/s400/_DSC4391.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
So as you can see I've got several pieces laying across my work desk. This is how I begin a piece. I play with different beads and patterns until I come up with something I like. Some of these designs look boring at first - and sometimes when I start threading them on wire, the design will completely change.<br />
<br />
A good example of that is the white bracelet at the bottom which received a drastic change from the vague idea I started with. I thought I'd use copper oval hoops to bring out the brown veins in the howlite, but I had changed my mind. The howlite beads my cousin had given me. Sometimes we'll trade or give each other beads that we've decided we no longer wish to use.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix8zAnt_EjJX0ObZCZQzGcBTaBdimpmJvPzpJxvnbgppKjVPVzSCFhLZT9xOC8zhiPPUoizhJ_-T9c7RngYmOqvU-6TKFAAfAPljlg4HizqniZZQkvLlX4L-goX0-zCe4wrAXTCmmwj9Q/s1600/braceletswip3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix8zAnt_EjJX0ObZCZQzGcBTaBdimpmJvPzpJxvnbgppKjVPVzSCFhLZT9xOC8zhiPPUoizhJ_-T9c7RngYmOqvU-6TKFAAfAPljlg4HizqniZZQkvLlX4L-goX0-zCe4wrAXTCmmwj9Q/s400/braceletswip3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is another angle of my work desk showing more pieces that I have yet to make. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj27kH3jGV1zf9rOoCkzkRaL_z0IXQfopR-_iXzaJ10PbETr8Y8jZoPWy4wx7PwYE6uyzFHnGlAjs2a097UPqJ2jAPHjAWxezQET8JVFpFXkPwWHUKrPEhhi9jXWa-WnMeGBC3qUyeiTHA/s1600/braceletswip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj27kH3jGV1zf9rOoCkzkRaL_z0IXQfopR-_iXzaJ10PbETr8Y8jZoPWy4wx7PwYE6uyzFHnGlAjs2a097UPqJ2jAPHjAWxezQET8JVFpFXkPwWHUKrPEhhi9jXWa-WnMeGBC3qUyeiTHA/s400/braceletswip.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
These three to-be-bracelets are gorgeous. As you can see in the corner I have a few that were made earlier. I may not always complete all the bracelets laid out before I start designing more. I often get new ideas while I'm working and start laying out new designs before I'm finished with what is already on the table. <br />
<br />
I had forgotten how fun it can be to design bracelets. I would keep going right now if I had the supplies and time. If I don't stop sometime I'll have gazillions of bracelets and nothing else :)<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Initially this looks somewhat boring. But this is what the turquoise bracelet turned into...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
I started out with just a few finished bracelets as you can see in the picture below.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpMOd5sCVBCjQaBjT9Jdv288npH-_ZKzlu85fX_RzDin2Rb0KiQ8rOl8-wssspb8WnZ2-SF9hq0JKid30sA6Wfe-iN-xCuHdZF_5v0-qwcX8WRlG7exnd2rggkuMntfD_JM5PLPVrlCt4/s1600/braceletrack.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="273" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpMOd5sCVBCjQaBjT9Jdv288npH-_ZKzlu85fX_RzDin2Rb0KiQ8rOl8-wssspb8WnZ2-SF9hq0JKid30sA6Wfe-iN-xCuHdZF_5v0-qwcX8WRlG7exnd2rggkuMntfD_JM5PLPVrlCt4/s400/braceletrack.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
I've made 35 bracelets in total. I've taken a break to spend time with my grandfather. We ordered pizza to add some fun to this frigid day. Freezing rain has kept us in doors which has given me the chance to get a lot done. <br />
<br />
Tonight I will get a head start on some Feminine Steampunk designs....<br />
<br />
<br />
After I clear my desk of all the beads that didn't cut it :)<br />

<br /><br />Indeed, this necklace is the perfect punch of "WOW!" and class to wear at your up and coming Evening Party. Or perhaps you are going on a date and you want to "dress to impress". Nothing will say that you have a fabulous sense of fashion any better than this necklace. You wont blend away into the background in a party with this necklace, so have no fear about being over-looked. Your outfit alone will make a statement that you <i>are</i> the go-to-girl at the party.<br /><br />More importantly, your date will be so impressed with your fashion sense, his eyes will be twinkling all night. Or is that the crystals reflecting in his eyes? Who cares, you are confidant knowing that you look exquisite, so even if you happen to spill your drink or fumble your words, no one will notice.<br /><br /><br />

Some women have more than one, but choosing the <i>right</i> little black dress is key. As an example, we've selected this black dress from <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/79094537177906372/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> - a great place for ideas and inspiration. We'll tell you why this dress works perfectly with our <a href="http://sahetahsjewelry.mysupadupa.com/collections/feminine-steampunk/products/the-victoria-necklace-feminine-steampunk-limited-edition-2-of-15" target="_blank">necklace</a>.<br /><br />Here are some tips on how to wear this necklace with the most fabulous dress! <br /><br />1. Pick a dress with no straps. The dress should come straight across your breasts, leaving the top of your chest bare.<br /><br />2. The top of the dress should be plain and not busy. You don't want too much going on around the necklace. You want to look impressive, but not overdone.<br /><br />3. A skirt with flare or minimal designs and perhaps even a waistline with a bit of glam is good. This will create a uniform look once you put on the necklace. This is why we love the skirt and waist of this gorgeous and sexy dress we picked out.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />Every black dress needs the perfect heels. We recommend a heel that is simple, and not too distracting. you don't want attention going to your feet, you want it on <i>you!<br /></i><br />

<br />
Love our work but not entirely sure what to wear with it? Looking for a type of fashion sense you want to surround yourself with and need some inspiration? Perhaps you are decorating your home and doing a complete make-over and you want some inspiration for matching home-decor and your fashion style?<br />
<br />
We are matching our designs everyday to great finds and photos on Pinterest, Etsy and around the net to give you great ideas for your wardrobe and decor.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/124490693/violet-lucite-flower-pendant-necklace" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL1w2o4RObksNpIInPrgKiC_UKwa3EEV8e-tdTFhSj6Rg06G722hkhts2SLke28SrCgk0VI_FupMyTIPHr22gamooDTrxOWvfPikEEV0GSC3ThSJOQSjWh5sDe30wJeRF0YOhQ__6faTg/s400/violetnecklacecollage2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Today I sit in my Aunt and Grandmother's warm and welcoming home, looking out the window at the dark, morning sky as the traffic begins to pick up. The bird feeder is laden with a layer of pristine white snow, flakes drifting to the ground. The sky is a subdued mix of violet and blue. <br />
<br />
This beautiful winter morning makes me think of one of my newest designs...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This necklace is a fusion of vintage style fashion and steampunk.
Naturally, steampunk is not a very feminine fashion statement, but here at
Sahetah's Jewelry, we change all that. This beautiful necklace is as
feminine as it gets. This piece has a delicate look, feeling light and
weightless. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dmID6WDanH8/TaqVVBBCgVI/AAAAAAAABsc/KHaHwHD921s/s1600/studdedhearts_clothing_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dmID6WDanH8/TaqVVBBCgVI/AAAAAAAABsc/KHaHwHD921s/s320/studdedhearts_clothing_2.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So what would you wear it with? You would complete this piece with an equally light and weightless look that evokes a feel of feminine delicateness. <br />
<br />
Wearing a collection of white, creams or picking from a pallet of pastel, subdued colors will create a unified and beautiful look.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.urbanog.com/Charmingly-Chic-Dress_101_30818.html" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.urbanog.com//images/products/2013/02c/d3227a_01.jpg" width="265" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A beautiful, lace, flowing dress in a relaxing shade of ivory that feels weightless is the perfect dress to compliment this necklace. At <a href="http://urbanog.com/">UrbanOG.com</a> you can get this look for only $34.10.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://static2.heels.com/images/shoes/outside_view/large/ZJS1107_OUT_LG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://static2.heels.com/images/shoes/outside_view/large/ZJS1107_OUT_LG.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Not any pair of shoes can match . If you are going for a lacy feel, a great pair of light, lacy heels will create a great, chic look. Keep with a light color of creams and whites.<br />
<br />
<br />

man in the corner listened in the darkness, the wind whistling through the
crack in the window frame, billowing his hair around him. The child in the room
with him was invisible in the darkness. Even the power of the sun, let alone
the light from the full moon, could not dampen the gloom hidden behind the
boarded windows.</span></div>

touch and <span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">to</span> play with
the boy, he tried to force the urge back down. He wasn't allowed that pleasure,
yet. The priests would come soon and the boy would have to be pure. The man's

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; layout-grid-mode: line;">Dreaming of the day he would finally be able to have his

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; layout-grid-mode: line;">He hurried over and retrieved his boy-child, his breath

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; layout-grid-mode: line;">A whimper was all that escaped the gag when the boy
tried to scream. Cringing at the man's touch, he fought against the bonds,
causing the man's groin to harden once more.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; layout-grid-mode: line;">The man smiled. He tightened his grip upon the boy as he
tried to wiggle free. The door stood open, waiting for him and the boy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; layout-grid-mode: line;">Suddenly, the door swung closed behind him, plunging the

Allison Cosgrove was born and raised in a suburb of Toronto,
Ontario. A married mother of three daughters, she works in accounting by day
and creates her own worlds by night. She enjoys spending time with her husband
and daughters hiking in the woods or sitting by the fire reading a good book.
She has had the love of reading and writing detective mysteries from the age of
twelve but it has only been since the birth of her youngest that she has gotten

A cult has been killing children for its rituals and only one cop knows who they are. Detective Stan Brookshire knows but his past keeps people from believing in him. Can he rise above the stigma that shrouds his past and stop a cult from taking yet another innocent child from her mother’s arms before its too late?<br /></div>

<b>EXCERPT:</b> <br /><br />The man in the corner listened in the darkness, the wind whistling through the crack in the window frame, billowing his hair around him. The child in the room with him was invisible in the darkness. Even the power of the sun, let alone the light from the full moon, could not dampen the gloom hidden behind the boarded windows.<br /><br />Hearing a sound, the man stiffened. It was the child; the sweet, young child.<br /><br />"Very soon, my precious, very soon," Joseph whispered, his breath coming in short gasps. Excitement filled his belly; time was drawing closer for the boy.<br />Footsteps in the hallway caused the boy to whimper in fear, lighting the man's loins on fire. Desperately wanting the forbidden, to touch and play with the boy, he tried to force the urge back down. He wasn't allowed that pleasure, yet. The priests would come soon and the boy would have to be pure. The man's needs would have to wait. The boy would have to wait.<br />Dreaming of the day he would finally be able to have his way with the boy, the man fixed the delicious whimpers in his memory. The boy would no longer be able to cry and plea.<br /><br />It was coming soon. So close now.<br /><br />On the other side of the room, he heard the ominous creak of the door opening. Blinding light silhouetted a figure dressed in long robes.<br /><br />He hurried over and retrieved his boy-child, his breath coming in gasps so ragged that he thought his lungs would cease to function.<br /><br />A whimper was all that escaped the gag when the boy tried to scream. Cringing at the man's touch, he fought against the bonds, causing the man's groin to harden once more.<br /><br />The man smiled. He tightened his grip upon the boy as he tried to wiggle free. The door stood open, waiting for him and the boy.<br /><br />Suddenly, the door swung closed behind him, plunging the room into darkness once again.<br /><br />

I am grateful for my fiance and his amazing support. I am lucky to have a man that supports my endeavors and enjoys even watching me work.I am grateful that even though we live in two entirely different countries (canada and the U.S) we are devoted to each other and travel to each other for extended visits.<br /><br />2. I am grateful for his children who now adore me, and have given me the chance to be a 'parent' figure which has given me a deeper understanding about my own experiences as a child and my own parents.<br /><br />3. I am grateful that he is a father, and I believe he is one of the best daddy's I've ever known. He plays and interacts with his kids despite his disability, plays pretend and makes them laugh often. I've never heard so many "I love you's" in one household between kids and parent. He encourages them to play pretend, to be creative and always puts them first - and his kids love him for it.This has given me the chance to see what a 'real loving family' is like that it brings me to tears. <br /><br />4. I am grateful for my grandfather whom I care for full time as his caregiver. He has allowed me to turn his basement upside down into not only my "woman cave" but also as my studio despite his unwillingness to "change" things. It has allowed me to care for him full time but also put my creative nature to use and work at home.<br /><br />5. I am grateful for my business, Sahetah's Jewelry. By starting my own business, I've gained confidence that I've never had, the ability to communicate with others at craft shows and feel comfortable doing so. It helped me find the joy of speaking with other people and hearing their stories and their journey. It helped me find like minded people with their own journey becoming an artist. It helped me really appreciate the value of handmade. I am most grateful that through my business it drives me to continue learning new techniques and constantly growing as an Artist.<br /><br />6. I am grateful for my wonderful and amazing German Shepherd Tasha. Though I've only known her since she was 6 years old, she has been an amazing and loving companion. Through understanding dog behavior (another avenue I had wanted to venture in, but as a caregiver I'm required to be at home, not rehabilitating dogs at shelters) that dogs often portray our inner feelings because of their extreme sensitivity to their owners emotions and react on them, I've realize that I have always lived with constant anxiety, and she has helped me to calm myself and relax. She has also been my protector, and with a history of abuse she has made me feel safe walking on the street where the men who often would prey on me, would steer clear of me because of Tasha's presence. Though she loves strangers and receiving lots of pets on the bus, Only a few times I've been able to witness how quickly she can respond to a person when they are acting inappropriately, such as when a drunken man has tried to approach us rather quickly (who we found out was kicked out of the bar my dad was in because he was sexually harassing the waitress), or when a stranger had tried entering my room while we were both asleep. She checks on me when I'm asleep and always stays by my side, watching me when I'm about and standing guard at the front door when I'm gone.<br /><br />7. I am grateful for my close friend Chris who stuck by me and helped me out when my family stranded me in Toronto with only the clothes on my back, turning a visit at a friend's into a more permanent stay. Without his kindness and support at finding the confidence in myself to take steps I was so afraid to take...being alone on a bus surrounded by strangers and men I didn't know...I don't think I would have survived. He helped me get on my feet, despite having nothing. His support was the only reason that the overwhelming hurt, realizing how little my family cared about me or my well-being didn't break me, because there was at least ONE person who cared. I have always valued his friendship, and perhaps one of the best dudes around to have your back. :)<br /><br />8. I am grateful for my health so that I can be creative, so that I can use my hands and travel and support my fiance whose body has failed him. Even though he is limited to his abilities due to his failed back surgery and current health advances unable to correct the problem - my health and confidence gives me the ability to help support him, and he helps support me.<br /><br />9. I am grateful for the chronic depression I had when I was a teen. Through it, I discovered my passion for art and writing and my artistic abilities drastically advanced. For that period of time I learned how to write poetry and wow my teachers with compelling stories. I have thus continued to write, with a project in the works, this would probably not happen without that time period where I learned to really enjoy writing and to excel at certain topics.<br /><br />10. Lastly, I am grateful for my family. Shouldn't we all be? I am grateful for my parents and my sister's selfishness, for putting themselves first over their children, for manipulating others to take over their OWN responsibilities for the simple fact that they are too lazy to care, for never saying "I love you", for refusing to be there at my rescue when there was a chance I was going to be sexually assaulted, for their lack of interest in my schooling when I was a child...<br />
<br />You've taught me through your actions and poor behavior to be a better person. You've taught me about the person I never want to be.You taught me to be loving, because I understand the pain the absence of love creates. You've taught me to share and to be giving, because I understand what greed and selfishness create. You taught me to never seek your approval and never desire it - as the day I have your approval is the day I'm no better than you. You taught me determination to succeed and reach for what I need despite resistance and disprovable.<br />
<br />You taught me a lot about what 'not' to be, and I am proud to be the person that I am. :)<br />

Nova Scotia is where I came to the realization that I wanted to work with my hands for a living, and I discovered I loved designing jewelry.<br />
<br />
My parents left just in time to miss the month long heat wave that came through Ontario. It did not rain until they came back, and it has been raining almost every day this week. The flowers are very happy, and I'm happy that my garden is happy.<br />
<br />

This morning its a clear sky, the earth is still wet and the garden is thriving. It was beautiful to see. This will be t he first time I've taken photos of my garden. It's in its first year, and so next year we are hoping it will begin to fill out. The peonies were transplanted from my Aunt's so they are struggling in their new garden, but next year they will be happy too.<br />
<br />

<br />
I have a German Shepherd, so my mom likes to gift me with German shepherd themed ornaments, key-chains and whatever else she can get her hands on. So one of the gifts she gave me ended up in the garden to welcome her back from her vacation.<br />
<br />

And of course our bird bath is now filled with water this morning.<br />

<br />
I work with <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/SahetahsJewelry?section_id=10417439&ga_search_query=lucite%2Bflower" target="_blank">flower jewelry</a> because up until now I've only managed to kill my plants. It seems I've got luck on my side for our first real garden we've put together. The bush behind the bird bath used to take up over 12ft of space in my grandfather's backyard. We hacked it down to a stump and planted a garden in that space instead. We keep it trimmed, but it seems to flourish every time it rains so it has grown quite a bit in the past few days.<br />
<br />
There is still some space that needs sod, but otherwise our backyard garden looks great. My Aunt and cousin helped till the earth and prepare the ground for the garden, but then I planted all these babies myself the next day. Perhaps it was a bit too much work for one person, but I was determined to have it done. =)<br />
<br />
<br />
Back to Nova Scotia...my parents always pick up souvenirs for the family. My mom knows I love everything handmade, and especially pottery. She ended up finding the beauty of all beauties. She loved it so much that she couldn't just give me one, so she had to buy one for herself too.<br />
<br />

Isn't it divine? It is from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ostrea-Lake-Pottery/182221321822618" target="_blank">Ostrea Lake Pottery</a> in Nova Scotia by Deborah Wheeler.<br />
<br />
It looks so beautiful with a blending of blues and red to create this purple effect throughout. I've never seen a pottery mug with a gorgeous engraved flower design. I was so nervous using it, but I don't like having mugs just for show either. So this morning I took it out on our patio as the weather is nice today and had some delicious tea to start my day before I begin working in my studio.<br />
<br />
It appears that Ostrea Lake Pottery has more of a physical presence in Nova Scotia than an online presence, so if you ever visit Nova Scotia, you should definitely check them out =)Melissa Arnoldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10485490184101230537noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2575807399358850592.post-50146361683454566832012-07-25T17:28:00.000-07:002012-07-25T17:28:42.005-07:00Gifting Celebrity Stars Part 1Lots of excitement has been had at <a href="http://www.sahetahsjewelry.com/" target="_blank">Sahetah's Jewelry</a>.

Whenever I gift a celebrity, a lot of thought is put into the type of design that will be chosen. I want the celebrities to enjoy wearing my designs as much as I enjoy making them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I decided to pamper Lauren Conrad with this gorgeous Feminine Steampunk necklace created with exquisite green Chinese crystals with a luxurious brass pocket watch valued at $350 CAN. Layers of crystals create an elegant statement piece for a very special woman, and I hope that she enjoys this handmade design.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So will we see Lauren Conrad sporting this gorgeous necklace? Who knows, but she has it in her possession and one day I hope she'll rock the day away in our fabulous design.</div>

Not only is resting and rejuvenating good for the soul, but you can make resting guilt free by supporting handmade artists and local businesses that will leave you feeling refreshed and good about yourself.<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><b> Taking breaks is important.</b></span> A break shouldn't be filled with other tasks for different projects, but a moment you take completely for yourself. Your body can only handle so much and you can begin to wear yourself down by working overtime. Your mind needs a break, and working with constant stress and little rest will not keep you on top of your game.<br />
<br />
<br />
A mentally refreshed and rejuvenated individual can achieve greater things in brighter spirits than someone who works non-stop who becomes grumpy and quick tempered. But where do you take these breaks?<br />

Life doesn't always give you opportunities to take breaks. You have to bend the world around you to fit breaks in. Perhaps your baby has finally decided to take her nap and this is your chance to get some housework done. However, perhaps the housework can wait today so that you can focus on you. Sometimes you have a boss that relies on your skills all the time, and when you have a day off he keeps calling you back in. Sometimes you need to say 'no' because you wont be of much good if you are living in a whirlwind of stress.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
At-home jobs are never ending. It is more important than ever if you run your own business to take breaks. Working for someone, you have a few set amount of tasks you get done every day, and it is your boss who is accountable for the business. As your own boss, you are accountable for everything, and all the tasks that require a business to function are weighed on your shoulders. Sadly, there are no little, magical elves that come out at night to do your work for you.<br />
<br />
Trust me, I checked.<br />
<br />
<b>Stress can cost you your job!</b><br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://img0.etsystatic.com/il_570xN.337148868.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="250" src="http://img0.etsystatic.com/il_570xN.337148868.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Take it from me, as I nearly lost my job if it wasn't for the fact that it was already the last day on the job before I moved to another town. The stress of three roommates who decided our condo would be a geek party house for 4 days out of the week left me with little sleep. On top of that, guess who they wanted help to clean the mess their friends left behind? Me!<br />
<br />
On top of that, I was now moving to take care of my grandfather, with zero experience. Working nearly full time and little rest, the stress was overwhelming me at work. I used to excel at working a cash register and I would be top choice to keep things running smoothly while supervisors had meetings. The stress worked me so hard that it was like I couldn't get anything right and suddenly I'm being hit with written up notifications that I better get my act together or I'll be fired.<br />
<br />
Living with my grandfather away from people my age (is it strange that I don't like parties and the usual craziness of young people?) is certainly far more relaxing in many ways than living in that condo. It's just me and him here and a couple of pets. Except now I have two jobs - taking care of my grandfather and running a business and both can become overwhelming and stressful if I don't find some 'me' time.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Find your quiet place!</b><br />
<br />
The solution to all this is very simple. Take a break. You can't just go anywhere to relax. Face it, not everywhere is relaxing. Sitting in the kitchen will probably remind you that you need to make dinner and you may not know what to cook or the dishes are dirty and the floor needs some polishing. Step away from your common places at home and find a spot away from your daily routine. If it's great weather outside, go sit on the patio or even the steps to the front door. <b></b><br />
<br />
<a href="http://img2.etsystatic.com/il_570xN.236563306.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="176" src="http://img2.etsystatic.com/il_570xN.236563306.jpg" width="400" /></a>Surrounding yourself in fresh air, sunlight and greenery is far more rejuvenating than sitting indoors. The stress seems to fade away when surrounded by nature.<br />
<br />
We aren't meant to stay indoors all day. The body needs the fresh air. You can create a beautiful space to relax in too. Some may call this indulging yourself, and yes it is. Because 'you' are important. If you forget about taking care of 'you' then everything in your life will suffer.<br />
<br />
So go outside and take a break. Relax and kick your feet up.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Despite still being young, a trip downtown for a couple hours for a doctor check-up is all I can handle. For us Artisans, the spring is perhaps the season where we are now kicking ourselves into high gear, preparing for all those craft shows where we will spend long hours on our feet. For those 8-12 hours at the show we'll spend many blissful moments meeting new people, sharing experiences and helping to find that perfect handmade design they are looking for.<br />
<br />
For that reason I love craft shows, but the laborious days and weeks before a craft show is not something I look forward too.<br />
<br />
If you are like me, once you are at the show, you're bounding with endless energy and cheer.<br />
<br />
But right now, the hard work of preparing and running my grandfather back and forth from hospital visits is wearing me down, so lets see what I can find in my Etsy Feed that can help one relax....<br />

This beautiful print just makes you want to step outside and be transported to this calming beach and lean back in your chic outdoor chairs by a warm fire. I can almost remember the smell of fresh, salty air from the beaches of Nova Scotia.<br />
<br />
What is even better is when you have distant neighbors so you can't hear them partying. Instead, all you can hear is the waters lapping at the sandy beach. Maybe take an evening stroll through the cool waters to wet your feet.<br />

Perhaps you would be wearing a comfy yet urban chic travel dress, perfect to take a stroll through the waters and not worry about rolling up your pant legs. Gracefully clutching the dress in one hand you will be walking like Cinderella across the sand. Better yet, we can add your man into the picture, whispering words of endearment in your ear.<br />

If you have ever been to the ocean and stood on the sandy beaches, you know there is a cool breeze. When the sun sets it becomes even more chilly. Having a nice shawl to help keep warm by the fire will keep you comfortable so you can enjoy the midnight air to the fullest. <br />

Such a moment for an Artist can never be replaced and the memory will always be cherished.<br />
<br />
In January, <a href="http://theartisangroup.org/" target="_blank">The Artisan Group</a> featured our <a href="http://sahetahsjewelry.mysupadupa.com/collections/feminine-steampunk/products/the-victoria-necklace-feminine-steampunk-limited-edition-2-of-15" target="_blank">Victoria Necklace</a> at the <a href="http://www.gbkproductions.com/" target="_blank">GBK's</a> Golden Globes celebrity gift lounge at the <a href="http://www.viceroyhotelsandresorts.com/en/beverlyhills" target="_blank">L'Ermitage hotel</a><a href="http://theartisangroup.org/" target="_blank"></a>. Those two days with my necklace on display, being touched and admired by celebrities was a day that took my breath away. I barely got any sleep those nights. <br />

So what is in store for <a href="http://www.sahetahsjewelry.com/" target="_blank">Sahetah's Jewelry</a> in May? The GBK's <a href="http://www.mtv.com/ontv/movieawards/2012/" target="_blank">MTV Movie Awards</a> Gift Lounge!<br />
<br />
This time, Sahetah's Jewelry will be gifting the Press at this fabulous event. The press deserve some pampering too don't you think?<br />
<a href="http://img1.etsystatic.com/il_570xN.327707949.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="247" src="http://img1.etsystatic.com/il_570xN.327707949.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
Sahetah's Jewelry has created a gorgeous necklace to be gifted in the Press Gift Bags. This time our focus was on our line of Feminine Steampunk necklaces.<br />
<br />
With a little bit of whimsy and inspiration by years long past, designer Melissa Arnold created the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/97287726/mtv-press-gift-necklace-feminine" target="_blank">Limited Edition Cecelia Necklace</a> (currently on our etsy shop).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This necklace has been created with stunning blue and white crystals featuring a small brass pocket watch and a cute dragonfly toggle.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steampunk" target="_blank">steampunk</a> genre has mainly focused on the masculinity of the
Victorian Era. Sahetah's Jewelry brings back the romantic and feminine
flare of the old tradition of wearing elaborate pocket watches as
necklaces.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://img0.etsystatic.com/il_570xN.327835064.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="247" src="http://img0.etsystatic.com/il_570xN.327835064.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
These necklaces are not for those who are shy at heart. This
necklace is looking for a woman who loves glamor and serious 'wow'
factor.<br />
<br />
The Press are in for a treat. This necklace is valued at $135.00CAN and ten of them have been made for this event.<br />
<br />
