  • Argentium Sterling Silver Trillium Pin

    Springtime brings trilliums to my garden.  I have planted 3 varieties: white, yellow and red.  The flowers last just a few weeks here in the Piedmont of NC.  This silver one will last for generations!

  • Argentium Sterling Silver Dogwood Pin

    It is Springtime again in North Carolina and I was inspired by the dogwood trees in my garden to make another dogwood pin.  I like to cut a stem to use as my template, so I can make a flower that looks as realistic as possible.
