Celtic "Love" Ogham Ceramic Pendant


This "Love" Ogham has been glazed with a clear crackle glaze to give it an aged look. Each piece comes out of the kiln with it's own unique characteristics! The Ogham writing on this pendant has been glazed with a brown glaze, and the pendant hangs from a faux suede cord that can be tied to accommodate many necklines. This material is also great because it doesn't shed all over your clothes like real suede can. The bead is an old Tibetan yak bone bead that has been inlayed with turquoise and coral.

This ogham, and others, can be found at my 1000markets.com shop!

Earthenware "Wood" Earrings


These unique "wooden" plank earrings were created with earthenware clay. Each plank measures about an inch in length and a little less than one half inch in width. The "wood" has been glazed with a dark earthy greenish-brown glaze. The planks dangle from two vintage brass rings and the ear wires are hypo-allergenic.

"As Red as My Love" Treasury!



I've been featured in another gorgeous treasury!  What a treat and honor to find my "Secret Spiral" ceramic pendant in a Valentine's Day treasury curated by Minaude!

Be sure and stop by her Etsy shop and blog to see her beautiful jewelry!

Thank you, Minaude! 

Check Your Phone Bill for Fradulent Charges!

Here we go again!!!

We've been slammed yet again by a fraudulent telecommunications company through Qwest. this time, it is from "ESBI ETS" who charged our telephone bill $14.95 for a residential email service we do not use (Last time, it was "Orbit Telecom" that tried to charge the same amount for an voice mail service we do not use).   The last time Qwest allowed this to happen, we spent nearly two hours on the phone trying to get this remedied.  At the time, we were allowing Qwest to auto-debit our bank account, which we immediately stopped.  Since this is the third time we have had this happen, we can only come to the conclusion that this deceptive practice is accepted by Qwest. 

After doing a Google search for this company, I found that many other people are experiencing the same thing on their phone bills. I also found a great link where you can report these types of fraudulent companies online via the FCC.

Double check your latest phone bill and look for a charge from "Orbit Telecom" or "ESBI ETS"!  Ours was listed under "Enhanced Telecommunications Services".

Oh, and if the Qwest corporate office happens to have a Google alert set for any online occurances of it's name being mentioned and is reading this, here's a little heads-up for you--We are reporting you to the FCC.....again!  We expect a higher level of professionalism from our utility providers than this!

Use this link to reach the online complaint form for the FCC:

Sacred Celtic Salmon Ceramic Pendant


Made with love on Grizzly Mountain!

I created the "Sacred Salmon" from earthenware clay. It has been glazed with an earthy rust colored glaze. This pendant hangs from an 18" ball and chain necklace. If you would like to view more photos of this piece, please visit my online store at 1000markets.com.

**The Sacred Salmon**

To the Celts, the fish symbolized knowledge, wisdom, the gift of prophecy and inspiration.

The Salmon of Wisdom were keepers of all knowledge. Mythology tells us that this knowledge was attained by eating the nuts of the sacred hazel tree.
