My Eclectic Style – Home Decor

I was working in my studio the other morning when a rainbow from one of my sun catchers caught my eye. It landed upon one of the flower wreath sun catchers I had just completed and was hanging on my wall waiting to be photographed. Gave me a moment of pause and reflection on a couple of treasures I’ve amassed over the past few years.

The flower painting was created by my friend, Dianalynne. I met her through my Etsy shop years ago and we became fast friends. The painting is a keepsake, her friendship is a treasure! She also created and gifted me with the little dreamcatcher on the wall.

Then there’s the “Love” sign which is actually a greeting card my in-laws gave us for one of our wedding anniversaries; I cherish these two and am so blessed to have them in my life. Two of the loveliest people.

And, the decorative metal hanging holds a few more of the special occasion cards I’ve received throughout the years! From my wonderful husband, family, and friends; reminders that I am loved!

The vintage doorknob I found here on the farm in the old milk house; reminding me of the blessings of home and community, for what I have as well as the opportunities that await me.

Of course, the flower sun catcher will be listed in my shop (JudysTreehouseToo.etsy.com) and will someday find its forever home. But today it is a reminder that I am grateful for my creative spirit and the opportunity to meet and interact with people across the USA that I might never have crossed paths with but for my creative journey!

And, this is just a little glimpse of my eclectic style. Each room in our home holds little treasures like the ones I’ve mentioned above filling our space with many memories.

Life is full of little moments and opportunities to count our Blessings. Keep your eyes, heart, and mind open and you will capture little sparks of memories, inspiration, and love.

As always I wish you Peace, Love, and Joy

Fall Harvest 2021

Fall has officially arrived here in Illinois, Midwest USA. And so begins our harvest season. For the next couple of months I’ll be spending time in the tractor seat helping my husband with gathering, storing, moving this year’s crops.

Feeling blessed with the opportunity to help with the family farm and spend time outdoors enjoying the fabulous fall weather, sights, sounds, aromas! Therapy for the soul.

Although my time for actually creating new items will be limited during the next couple of months, tractor time gives me an opportunity to reflect and consider new designs and ideas for future creations.

In the meantime, if you’re looking for that unique, one-of-a-kind piece of elegant casual handmade jewelry or an earthy eclectic curio for your home decor both of my Etsy shops, JudysTreehouse and JudysTreehouseToo will be open. The items in both of my shops have already been created, are ready to ship and will be packaged up and taken to the post office within one to three (post office) business days after purchase.

Keep in mind, if you’re holiday shopping now is the time to get your online shopping done early to avoid potential delivery delays during high volume shipping times.

Wishing you a joyful fall autumn season. Be and stay safe!

Peace Love and Joy

Inspired by Nature

The world is full of natural beauty. I’m blessed to be living on a small farm in the rural Midwest, USA. We’re situated in a little valley surround by trees and meadows. And, every year I add to my flower and vegetable gardens. It’s an everchanging palette of texture and color. The plants themselves are beauties to behold but add in the bees, bugs, and critters they attract and you can’t help but say, “What a Wonderful World”!

Here are some photos from around our home and gardens and the pieces they’ve inspired me to create.

You can find my earthy handmade jewelry, sun catchers, and dream catchers only online at: https://www.etsy.com/shop/JudysTreehouse or https://www.etsy.com/shop/JudysTreehouseToo or https://goimagine.com/judystreehouse .

You can also follow me on Facebook and Instagram at @ JudysTreehouse for more of my nature photos from around the farm, new items, and what I may be in the process of creating.

May you be inspired by the beauty you find in each and every day!

Peace Love and Joy

Currently Blooming

It’s that time of year — time to enjoy the great outdoors. Soaking up sunshine, digging in the dirt, planting a seed and watching its development, listening to the birds singing, observing wildlife, discovering new insects! Endless opportunities and enchantments! Isn’t nature marvelous! No matter the weather, do your best to enjoy some time outdoors wherever you are. Make it a daily habit. Clear your mind and absorb your surroundings. Exhilarating! An elixir for the soul!

All the best!

Peace Love and Joy

Spring!

I used to say I couldn’t live anywhere where the seasons never changed. Well, I’ve changed my mindset because I’m sure I could live anywhere because this world is a beautiful place to be no matter where you live. I am a firm believer in finding the beauty and joys that fill your life with happiness and love wherever you may land.

But, with that said, I do so love how the seasons change here in the Midwest USA. I’ve gone from living in a mid sized city to living a rural lifestyle here on our farm. And, as much as I enjoyed my urban lifestyle I must say that I am in awe of the nature that surrounds me here in the country and the changes that evolve in what sometimes seems like the blink of an eye.

We welcomed spring here on Saturday with temperatures starting to warm up but still a bit chilly so I grabbed my jacket and took the dogs for a little stroll and thought I’d share a few photos of our little farm.

Peace Love and Joy,

Judy

Artisan Handmade Jewelry – Limited Edition Necklaces

I have an obsession confession. Sometimes (okay, often) when I’m perusing for unique stones or beads to work into my jewelry creations I come across some pieces that almost make me hyperventilate with that “gotta have this” feeling. Although my habit (okay, my reasoning way of thinking would/should be) is to wait a day or two before purchasing to “make sure” this is truly an “object of my affection” and not a “passing phase” that will fade by the next day, sometimes I just can’t wait. I get nervous thinking that I might miss my window of opportunity if I don’t buy it RIGHT NOW! I’ve even found myself unable to sleep during my self-induced “waiting period” and have jumped out of bed in the middle of the night, vetoing my inner voice that says “wait” and moving forward with a “buy it now” mentality. This results in a momentary sense of peace and the ability to then garner an hour or two of much needed sleep until I start thinking about matching beads.

This is the case with these ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS dalmatian jasper teardrop pendants. First I purchased one, then I purchased a few more. I think I purchased six (maybe a couple more than that) in total, and I REALLY WANT MORE! But, I restrain myself so that I will make just a few limited edition pieces which will make them all the more precious for those discerning few fashion fanatics who strive for individuality.

These short statement necklaces feature natural semi-precious gemstones and stones with each dalmatian jasper pendant supported by a strand of a contrasting yet complementary gemstone beads. Although similar, each necklace is unique in color combination not to mention the eclectic designs created by the natural occurring striations, bands, inclusions, and veins found in each individual stone.

These are the few necklaces I’ve created with these cool dalmatian jasper pendants and anticipate I’ll finish up the last few within the next couple of months.

In the meantime, did I mention these awesome amazonite and tiger eye pendants I recently stumbled across………
