Jewels for your Valentine
We have SO many selections for your Valentine... we can't possibly show them all. So here are a few for you to think about.  Remember, every picture is a link to the artist's page.

Sybil Shimazu
Pearl Cluster Hoops by Jools




Sybil Shimazu, of Jools, loves texture, asymmetry, and jewels.  Here, she has clustered many different sizes and colors of pearls with delicate pink quartz on gold filled teardrop hoops.



Anne Lovett
Multistone necklace by Anne Lovett













Beaufort jeweler Anne Lovett combines aventurine, peridot, and moonstone in a delicate necklace that is Oh So Wearable!

Holly Yashi
Serena Earrings by Holly Yashi










Holly Yashi remains one of our most popular jewelry designers.  These silver Serena earrings have a Bohemian appeal but are elegant as well.



Jewelry 10
Baby Duck by Jewelry 10












How about funky and fun?  Jewelry 10's Baby Duck in millefiore porcelain just makes you want to smile.




Ashley Sullivan
Feathered Flower by Ashley Sullivan

Gold filled and Pearl bracelet by B&R Jewelry







Beaufort's own Ashley Sullivan, of Sheepish Designs, is probably best known for her beautiful felted hats. She also makes fun and colorful brooches out of wool and feathers to embellish a hat or jacket.








For something more classic, B&R Jewelry creates timeless designs that never go out of style.



Adel Chefridi
18k Gold, Diamond, and Sapphire pendant by Adel Chefridi












For the ultimate in elegance you can't beat Adel Chefridi.  His lovely creations are beautifully crafted in precious metals with diamonds and sapphires.  
Bill Campbell & Kent Follette
Bill Campbell

Bill Campbell makes a beautiful line of functional porcelain pottery in a lovely blue glaze.  

In addition to Bill's blue pottery, he has collaborated with his friend Kent Follette to produce stunning crystalline pottery pieces, also high fired porcelain and fully functional. 

We absolutely love this pottery, and love showing it to you!



Bill Campbell
Cut flower vase by Bill Campbell and Kent Follette

Bill and Kent's crystalline pottery is called Flambeaux.
The glaze contains a chemical composition that allows crystals to grow.  The pottery must be held at a specific temperature for an extended period to allow the crystals to form.  Each piece is different.  All are beautiful.

Bill Campbell
Crystalline Bowls by Bill Campbell and Kent Follette









Bill Campbell
Breakfast Bowl by Bill Campbell and Kent Follette











Most people think of Crystalline pottery as a decorative form of pottery... vases, lamps, and large bowls.  Bill and Kent make functional dinnerware as well as a large variety of decorative pieces.  The pottery is completely food safe, dishwasher friendly, and microwavable.

Carved round vase by Bill Campbell



 

 

  


This carved vase is an example of Bill's traditional blue glaze.  Again, Bill makes a full selection of functional dinnerware in this glaze, as well as decorative pieces.

Furry Friend... Eddie
Our Furry Friend featured dog this month is waiting for his forever home at the Carteret County Humane Society Animal Shelter in Newport, NC

Eddie and friend

Meet Eddie!  Eddie is an 11 month old Pit Bull Terrier/ American Bulldog mix, who loves everyone he meets!
People, children, other dogs, cats....... Eddie thinks everyone is his friend.  Whether marching (proudly) in the Beaufort Veteran's Day Parade, or greeting the public at adopt-a-thons, Eddie is an ambassador for shelter dogs everywhere.  Like all young dogs and puppies, Eddie will need guidance and training as he learns how to live in a home environment.  With a little patience and a lot of TLC he will learn quickly and will blossom into the wonderful companion he was meant to be.

Click on Eddie's images to read more about him and the Carteret County Humane Society.

Eddie.. smiling at you!
