“Into the Woods We Go” – A Woodlands Adventure-
You have probably seen many cute forest animals in fabric prints, fashion and children’s decor. These little creatures likely fall into the “Woodlands” style category. Think of the trendy fox that was quite popular recently. (By the way, the fox is currently being replaced by the trending Llama!)

All about Amethyst:
I just love these slices of Amethyst. You can really see how the crystals are formed when viewing the side cut of this gemstone. Imagine a large rock cracked open to reveal it’s inside core. The Amethyst crystals point into the inner core of the stone. The banded colours on the ...
