Hi Everyone and hope you're enjoying 2019 ! For me the aspects of creativity and freedom of expression are really coming through. I'm now taking 2 days off a week for the first time in decades to give me some space for that.  Valentine's day is looming closer, and it is of course a favourite day for the Heart. A day to celebrate and acknowledge the love in your life. A day also to celebrate your own Heart, to make sure you're giving as much to yourself as others. Usually our Shop Window is overflowing with Pink, the colour of Love ~ but Laura just created a beautiful window featuring Amethy...

Hi Everyone. Well, buying is work but fun ~ but now our Apt in Bangkok is like a little Factory. Nicha in her office makes tons of beaded Jewellery, me in the lounge on the endless task of processing all the other Jewellery. We bought so much ! Usually I'm OCD on prices as I buy, but this time I pretty much just chose what I liked. Following the Heart usually works out well, especially when you brought that spare credit card . . . . . Stunning Azurite/Malcahite/Chrysocolla from a new source ~ the Morenci Mine in USA. More Tourmalines ~ yes, Watermelon, also some fabulous vibrant Rubellite ...

Hi Everyone. Hope you're all doing well and enjoying the positive energies floating around ~ even though they're so often occluded by the daily barrage of negative news ! I crashed out on the couch after work, no TV book or laptop, suddenly realised ~ wow, I'm relaxed ! Hence the pic, to remind myself that actually gazing out of a window, doing and thinking nothing, is as important as all the daily doing :-) So it's nice to get back into the uploads ~ and interesting to see how they've changed too. Up until recently it was a case if racing the clock to get as much up as quickly as possible....

Well it's a cold wet windy winter evening here in Melbourne. I just can sense all those creative writers huddling round the heaters, pens or laptops in hand, striving to sublimate the atmospherics into their words. Well I've got an overdue Blog to write, that'll do me :-) So Hi ! How are you ? I sincerely hope you are all doing well because it seems to have been a stressful energy last month ! All of us at the Heart have been tested with various stresses. Thankfully we've survived. So condolences and congratulations to you all for surviving and hopefully prospering. Had a visit from Marco D...

Hi Everyone and hope you all had a good week. It's been pretty intense here at the Heart with everything happening at once ~ I don't know what's been happening in the Stars but the whole World seems to have been going a little more crazy than usual. All I can say is I'm glad it's all over and we've survived ! Can't help wondering whether that extra hit of Tanzanite had something to do with all this because I certainly feel more evolved ! Hey, I even managed the first mail out since Christmas ! Anyway, between all the dramas I've certainly been on a creative high. Product descriptions have i...

Hi Everyone Well as you can see from Latest Jewellery Uploads  I've been working hard since the last blog. Mind you, we're really only just over half way. Trouble is I love the stones so much that I have to give them the full attention with photography and description that they deserve. Jess was kind enough to pick up on this with some of my Moonstone uploads and devote a Facebook post to the poetry of my descriptions. Wow. Thanks Jess ! Really I feel I'm just describing what I see in the Stones but hey, I did devote a fair part of my earlier life to writing poetry, so it's nice that some...
