When I am at the beach, I like to hunt for treasure from the sea.

It's exciting when I turn over a shell or a rock.

Because I never know what I am going to find!

I have talked about my Captiva earrings and Capella pendant before.  

And with the summer weather finally arrived, having these two simple pieces of jewelry to throw on makes my day. 

I thought I would show them off "in action" together.  This is the other morning, waiting for the bus. If I turn to my left, I can gaze out over Haro straight.   The birds, deer and bunnies can all make appearances.  It's not quite as rural as it looks, but it is peaceful.

World Oceans Day is to put a spotlight on our blue planet.  To celebrate and honour our oceans and work together to restore and conserve them.  

Here, in the Salish Sea, June is also Orca Month, highlighting the habitat of the resident population of orcas.  

I decided to celebrate with my orca and some sea treasures.  This Ocean Curl pendant has a graceful, orca like curve, so it joined the party as well.  

How will you honour the ocean?

The Pico Azores necklace (large bead) and Minoan earrings (medium bead) are my current go to pairing of jewelry pieces.  

The necklace is eye catching and can be worn for every day and for dress up. I talk about how I took this set on my California vacation in this post.  

The earrings are dangly enough to catch the light, but classy too.  

You could say these pieces are bold, yet understated.  How about Elegantly Audacious?!

The other day, I was talking about playing around with my new hand carved bronze beads. And I showed you the first design with one bead. 

Now, here is the second style of one bead necklaces - a vertical bead.  

This is the small (approximately 1 inch) size of bead.  These styles are great for everyday wear and you can pick whichever suits you the best.

I have been neglecting my copper jewelry and it was feeling a bit left out.  

Copper takes enamel wonderfully and the sea greens and blues look great on it.  

You can be boldly beachy with any of these copper pieces.

At the day job today and surrounding myself with some of my favourite things.  Like Winnie-the-Pooh, a favourite from childhood (bag made by my friend).  

A mug of tea, Spice Dragon Red Chai, in this fantastic mug by Franziska that I got last year at a holiday show.  

And my bronze jewellery.  So versatile, it, even goes with tea!  

I will be launching my store and releasing some pieces in early November.  Want to be the first to know?  Sign up to the Insider email list below.  

Another perfect jewelry pairing today:  Carved copper with oceany coloured enamel. 

You have seen the necklace in action before.    And now there are earrings to go with it.  

Pendants and earrings like these will be part of my first release - coming in early November.  Sign up to my email below, become an Insider and be in the know first when I release collections.  

My bronze pendants are versatile.  They can be worn with white or collars.

Or with a black scoop neck top.

And even with blue patterns!  These pendants sit on your collar bone, making them the perfect length to be both boldly visible and elegantly styled.

I am not really one to pay attention that my outdoor or athletic wear matches.  I buy it for fit and functionality, not what colour it is.  Sometimes I buy things on sale that work for me - I have an orange pullover like that.  I wear it outside, while biking usually, to keep me warm.  It's a bonus that you can see it for miles.  

So imagine my surprise when I noticed my jacket matched my pendant.

And then I looked down.

Yup, the shoes match the jacket.  Apparently turquoise is the "in" colour for these items this year.  I am now fashionably dressed when outside - how Audaciously Elegant of me!

It seems as though the summer is winding down here.  It's dark when I get up for work these days and cooler too.  I have been noticing sweaters and darker, fall-like colours appearing in clothing...

So, I suppose I am a bit of a clothing rebel.  I wear what I want and am not bound by seasonal rules or not really by fashion rules.  Today, I chose pink!  

Copper goes well with pink; it's in the same colour family, although a coppery colour is suspiciously like autumn.  But my pendant has blues and greens and is lively.
