Inspirational Afternoon


IMG_20151017_082718

Sunset in Spain

I had a great experience today, while I visited Facebook. Usual I only stay there for few minutes, but today I left after 2 hours, which were amazing 2 hours

I received a message about to join a Live Broadcast with H.H. Dalai Lama, as was sent from Milan, Italy in (for me) this afternoon, for many other in our world, in the morning

Dalai Lama was speaking about many interesting topics and ended up with answering questions from the people, who joined in there

It was a special experience to see Dalai Lama express his thoughts about our world and what he meant, that we all were able to do to join the goal for peace. He called this century for the Century for Compassion, which I found interesting

In here at WP, I find that we are good to show each other compassion and support each other in the most positive and beautiful way

Dalai Lama also spoke about many topics and I will not mention all here, just what I find important to share with you right now

We should promote Peace & Harmony, which are possible in several ways

Dalai Lama mentioned, when we practice Harmony and find our goals, the Compassion will be reachable

When I think about this and compare with my wonderful blogging friends in here, I think at all of you, as the reason for, why we are blogging and in same time also, how great and strong community, as we create in here

We are many, who are doing our best to be the best version of ourselves each and every day, practice love and send healing thoughts out in our world, which also end up with the Oneness, as Dalai Lama also mentioned. That we need to understand, we are all one, even we are different of skin, political view and religion

We are all equal livings and need to act like that, to respect all other kind of life, no matter, we can’t make money or profit in any way at them. We do all have same right to be here and no one are more than others

Instead of placing ourselves or others at a pedestal, we need to come down from there and be one with all others. This will reduce the distance between us and we will be better to relax and feel the Oneness

Tolerance is needed, no matter what kind of souls, as we meet. We do all have a past, with something we can feel good about and other things less good

To become more whole souls, it is great to remember, that a healthy mind and a healthy body help us to find Calmness and maybe also our purpose in life

What do you think?

Enjoy your day

Guestblogger: The lady with an eye for shiny things


Dear Readers and Followers,

today the blog entry is written by a guestblogger – Irene’s daughter 🙂

Creativity kind of runs in our family. We are from a line of women creating all sorts of fun projects. Irene is making jewelry, clothes, she knits some amazing scarfs (thanks, mama) – and she makes rolls so good that a daughter would go to Spain to get one. Meanwhile Granma is the queen of knitting, and no one could make as beautiful dresses out of pearls (!) for small mannequin dolls as Great Granma could. Me? Well, I am not mastering any of my creative talents yet, but I guess that it’s because I seek too many adventures at one time.

A little about me: I left to live in South Germany, where you find the most romantic towns and old, beautiful buildings. In other words I’m surrounding myself by architecture looking like this:

And this:

The German Christmas markets are famous all over the world for their wonderful atmosphere – and for their Glühwein (sweet, spicy, warm red wine). The season for these markets will start in just a couple of days, and then I’ll go there myself to pick up new inspiration.

Just like my mom, I also spend a lot of time on various hobbies. One day I might decide to start learning about how to make Japanese origami, and the next day I decide to sew a monster for a friend’s baby. And the day after I find out that there’s an amazing cake called Red Velvet Cheesecake that I have to try making (any excuse for baking is always welcome). Lately I am reading about how to brew beer. And guestblogging.

Irene on the other hand is putting a lot of time and effort into creating her beautiful jewelry. And she’s pretty good at it. She’s spending a long time on thinking about projects, letting the right ideas come to her. It can take a lot patience to make this. She has made it to more than a 100 followers already, which I find pretty impressive. Go mom!

It’s hard to pick favorites out of her collections, but as we all have our personal style, I also have my favorites. Like these cute, purple hoops: Image

Compliment them with the classic black dress, and a girl’s night out just started with lots of style! 😉

My mom loves gemstones – where I often choose the simplicity of the metal – and wear something like these sweet angels:

But we all have our preferences 😉

If you like these jewelry, and if you are in lack of good ideas what to give for Christmas, you should pay a visit to her store on Etsy:

Cyberhugs and best wishes to all of you – and wishes that you’re also living out your dreams, whatever they might be!

The daughter.

Olive

Today at our walk in the neighborhood I saw this beautiful olive-tree, filled with growing olives. So very life-affirming…  To sit and meditate close to the tree gives so much inner peace. We have so many nice flowers and trees here, it is difficult to choose the most beautiful of them to show you.

Yesterday I became so inspired, and created jewelry all the evening. You can see one of them here and some others will be visible under Jewelry.

Black heart

Golden earrings with snow obsidian

I did also photograph Odin again, he is growing so fast, soon he will be 4 months old. Odin is really a wonderful puppy, so happy, looking like a mountain goat, when he is jumping around. This photo you may find in About.

I wish you all a very nice Friday, remember to enjoy your life…

Adventure in my area


Adventure in my area

Amazing poppies all around me…

Today, when I was out walking with Odin, at one of our mountain areas. We live in the area og love to explore our surrounding nature here in Spain. Wonderful flowers and the light green almond-trees and olive-trees are showing their most beautiful clothes right now. Really spring – all over. A walk in our nature makes me very happy.

Those amazing poppies – their colors – inspired me to create a new pair of earrings. You can see them here:

Golden with red jasper

Our nature is really amazing, a lot of inspiration came to me today, I will use the rest of my day to create more jewelry, and show some of it to you tomorrow.

Thank you for your attention. Have a wonderful day – all of you.

Inspired by nature


My experiences here from Spain have been very interesting. At the moment I’m living in a very dry area, and for some reason it just makes me feel a lot more in contact with myself and the nature surrounding me. Don’t get me wrong, cities and architecture can be nice and impressing, but the silence out here can be just as overwhelming if not even more…

My newest designs are inspired by my thoughts of the moon and the stars. Sometimes I go out at night only to watch the sky and breathe it all in. This time I was really fascinated about the moon and how beautiful it really is.

These earrings are made in gold plated silver. Let me know what you think! 🙂

Feeling excited!


So I am slowly learning how to make a blog, looking around in the many possibilities to find something that suits me. I ended up choosing a lot of colors because I like to keep it happy and joyful 🙂

I guess that a lot of my inspiration comes from meditation and the time I spend with the people and animals that I love. Even though I like making all sorts of jewelry, I guess you can quickly see, that my favourite is making earrings. For some time I have had a dream to see if I could turn it into a business, but I guess a little more time will tell. Now I have this site, and I’m pretty excited about it.

Also, I would really love having some response from my readers. As you know I am completely new in this, so tips and helpful comments are more than welcome. And if you’re also making jewelry yourself, you can leave a comment, and I will check out your site too.

Happy day to all of you!
– Irene.
