Jewelry Stories from Ashes of Glass
Hi there! So glad you could join me today for a new edition of Jewelry Stories! Today, I’m doing my second feature of an indie book, and it also happens to be a fairytale retelling. 🙂 I’ve always had an affinity for all things princesses and fairytales, so it’s no surprise that I gravitated toward this Cinderella story called Ashes of Glass. To be honest, I didn’t really enjoy the beginning of this story, but I really wanted to stick it out because I knew it would turn itself around. Turns out I was right, and this sweet Cinderella and Prince Charming tale was just the thing my romantic heart…

Jewelry Stories from When Twilight Breaks
I have been so anxious for this week’s Jewelry Stories post as it features one of my favorite reads so far this year – When Twilight Breaks by Sarah Sundin. If you have not already read this book, I highly encourage you to move it to the top of your TBR stack! You will not be able to concentrate on anything else until you read it to the very end! World War II fiction is not a genre I typically gravitate toward. However, I’m finding myself reading it more and more – and loving it! I was so surprised to find several different themes in this book that were perfect…

Jewelry Stories from Finders Keepers
I am thrilled to be here with you twice in one week for another edition of Jewelry Stories! Today, we have a very special guest – Sarah Monzon, the author of Finders Keepers! I found this gem of a book by chance through my Kindle Unlimited subscription, and I loved it! Not only is it a split time novel (my fave!), but the romance and chemistry between Trent and Sarah is electric. I can highly recommend it! There were a couple of jewelry references in Finders Keepers, and one in particular that I really wanted more details on. Sarah not only answered some of my questions about it, but sent…

Jewelry Stories from Maire
Thank you so much for joining me for the latest edition of Jewelry Stories! I hope you are enjoying these fun posts each week as we peek a little further into the pages of my latest reads to find some jewelry treasures. I read Maire a few months back, and while it started off as a slow read, it didn’t take long before I was hooked into this story! It’s an older novel in the Christian historical fiction genre by an established author, Linda Windsor. When I read it, I wasn’t capturing a lot of quotes to share what specifically inspired me as I am now. I was mostly looking for…

Jewelry Stories from The Reluctant Bridegroom
Thank you so much for joining me for the latest edition of Jewelry Stories! I hope you are enjoying as we peek a little further into the pages of my latest reads to find some jewelry treasures. For this post, I’m featuring a book I found by happenstance at my local library – The Reluctant Bridegroom by Shannon Farrington. I’ve always enjoyed the books that were a part of the Love Inspired Historical line, and sadly, they have discontinued it. There’s still plenty of them out there that I haven’t read – oh, to have more hours in the day (I know you know how I feel). 🙂 I have…

Jewelry Stories from the Canadian West Series
I simply adore Janette Oke’s books! They bring back such fond memories of my teenage years as I used to pore over my library’s shelves for anything new from her that I had not yet read. I couldn’t believe that this series was never there! (You can feel free to join me in the shock.) After all, the original series was written in the 80s, and they had everything else written around that same time. But I digress… This series has enjoyed a resurgence lately thanks to the Hallmark TV series When Calls the Heart. I admit that I am a diehard fan, and while the show is very different…

Welcome back to our week of jewelry inspired by Tidewater Bride! In case you missed yesterday’s interview with Laura Frantz, pop on over to this link to get some of the history behind jewelry design and materials that were present in early James Towne. I hope you are ready for these next few days of jewelry because there are a total of TWELVE new designs that I have been planning and putting together since Tidewater Bride was released.
