Notes from the Tulip House

A Trip East

 

This past week we took a short trip to Long Island, NY to visit some of The Mister’s family and to celebrate Little Bug’s second birthday!

 

Flight

This was Little Bug’s second time on a plane but his first time with his own seat!  I am happy to report he did very well.  I packed his little carry on bag with a tiny tub of playdoh, a handful of crayons, his favorite stuffie friend, a little book, and a snack.  It was just enough to keep him busy during our 1.5 hour flight.

Long Island Ferry

Not a good day for a trip on the Long Island Ferry.  Dreary and gray, blah.

Long Island Ferry Art Installation

Had to take a photo of this cool art installation in Riverhead.

Reflection Portrait

A quick family portrait! :p

Beach PebblesAren’t these beach pebbles yummy?  I was sure to grab a few of them with hopes of turning them into some jewelry.  Don’t you think they would make lovely rings?

Long Island Sound

The Sound.

The kids had lots of fun with a handmade “pinata.”

An Owyhee Suite

A sneak peak at four new Owyhee Jasper pieces.

Owyhee Jasper Jewelry Owyhee Jasper Ring Owyhee Jasper Necklace Owyhee Jasper Wrist Wrap Bracelet Owyhee Jasper Statement Necklace

 

Two necklaces, a leather and stone wrist wrap, and a ring, all with beautiful and striking Owyhee Jasper cabs.  I’m still working on the clasp for the smaller triangle necklace but the 3 other pieces should be listed in my Etsy shop tonight and on Tuesday!

***Update, I’ve managed to catch the Mister and Little Bug’s cold, (two days before we go out of town,) so I’ve decided to postpone the posting of these Owyhee pieces until next week.

 

Happy Tuesday!
