The Girl on Fire Earrings


When I saw these Mexican fire opals I immediately thought of the Hunger Games, and how Katiness was called the girl on fire. And the blackened brass settings are a fabulous way to accent these cabs. I've always wants to buy these cabs, a little more expensive than other glass cabs, but couldn't think of a good design for them. This design is simple, but the stones are stunning.

I hope you like them...

Do you like our vintage books in my picture? $1 at Half Price Books and where we also found book 3 of the Hunger Games for my son today. When I get a chance, I'd like to finish reading the first book and then move onto the other two. I did read enough of book one to get a good background before seeing the movie - at midnight!  First time we've hit a midnight movie -- ours was one of few theatres in the country not full of young teens, very surprising as we expected a crowd and arrived early.

I love to read, but there is never enough time, is there?!

Have a fabulous week! 

p.s. from Emily: Mom, find a safe place for those books or find them more worn - I love to chew on hardcover books - not sure why - maybe to annoy my mom. No, not for attention - I never lack for attention, as I'm too adorable.

District 12 Earrings


District 12 was the poorest district in the nation of Panem.

Located in the Appalachia and with a population of around 8,000 people, District 12's main industry was coal mining.[1] District 12 had not won the Games for many years since Haymitch Abernathy, now an alcoholic and an embarrassment to the district, won the 50th Annual Hunger Games, also known as the second Quarter Quell. Some jobs include Coal miner, Geologist, Blaster, Surveyor, and Metallurgist.

Vintage rare glass jet black bumpy West German rhinestones navette sugar stones each 15x7. Blackened settings by fellow Etsian.
