Saturday, April 30, 2011. A Lesson From A Fire Ant. Have you heard the story of the ant and the grasshopper? Well, there's more to being an ant then just being prepared. What happens when tragedy strikes? Take a look at this post, I discovered today, and find out what fire ants do when their life depends on it! Visit The Up Beat. And see what you can learn, from this tiny, sometimes annoying, piece of God's creation! Friday, April 22, 2011. Things were going on as usual. The day that Jesus died. As the w...

Under the Loupe: Lauren Bacall's Jewellery Upcoming Auction
http://annettepiperjewellery.blogspot.com/2015/02/lauren-bacalls-jewellery-upcoming.html
Tuesday, 17 February 2015. Lauren Bacall's Jewellery Upcoming Auction. The amazing Lauren Bacall was a favourite actress of mine for decades (that's a bit telling in the age department! Playing strong if not sassy female roles. Starring in films for seventy years, Ms Bacall died last August and the silver screen is poorer for her passing. I love that she wasn't afraid of colour and she favoured texture and layering in her jewellery pieces! Sapphire earrings and a jadeite ring by Darlene de Selde :. Mothe...

Wednesday, 25 April 2012. The Wanderer has Returned and Clutter Concerns. The last few days at Woodgate proved a bit busier as we got a little more active - the kids had us riding everywhere, walks, runs and swimming at the beach and since we couldn't put it off any longer, some jobs around the house - painting, organising and cleaning (since it will be months till we get back and no one cleans like you do! We enter the beach here. Looking for interesting shells is a regular activity. I realised in the l...

Under the Loupe: Statement Jewels abound at Academy Awards 2015!
http://annettepiperjewellery.blogspot.com/2015/02/statement-jewels-abound-at-acadamy.html
Tuesday, 24 February 2015. Statement Jewels abound at Academy Awards 2015! Finally sense has returned to the red carpet! Red carpet occasions are an opportunity to bring back that Hollywood glamour with elegant couture and dazzling jewellery that we remember, but that has been sadly lacking (with a few notable exceptions) in the last decade. Here is the piece as a bracelet. Viola Davis looked fabulous in a pearl and diamond necklace by Van Cleef and Arpels:. Garnered quite a lot of attention. The followi...

Under the Loupe: BAFTA's 2015 Jewellery
http://annettepiperjewellery.blogspot.com/2015/02/baftas-2015-jewellery.html
Monday, 16 February 2015. The 2015 BAFTAs were a wee bit disappointing in the jewellery stakes. it was nice to see some pearls on the red carpet, ostensibly because Yoko of London was a sponsor of the night, but there was the typical slide back into diamonds for any jewellery of note. Here are some of the highlights. Above, to start our diamond love fest is the elegant Julianne Moore in Chopard diamonds. Julie Walters looking divine - I will forgive diamonds with her sparkling silver dress! Mother of 3, ...

Monday, 27 February 2012. The Jewels of the 84th Annual Academy Awards. The stunning Penelope Cruz looking very much the movie star. And another night of the glitterati has been and gone! Sparkle, glimmer and glitter were definitely the order of the day – in sequins, satins and brocade dresses as well as in jewels. To go with the popular strapless/off the shoulder and one shoulder gowns and often upswept hair, necklaces could have had a starring role, however most chose (as usual) to go with earrings.

Under the Loupe: March 2013
http://annettepiperjewellery.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Friday, 1 March 2013. Academy Awards 2013 - the jewellery down the red carpet. The ageless Sally Field greets Jennifer Lawrence on the red carpet. Well the 2013 US awards season ended with the Oscars earlier this week. Jewels played their part in the outfits of the night – once again earrings were the big thing with every shape, size and style were to be seen from studs, small drops, long and linear, chunky chandeliers and more. A couple of stars decided to wear their jewels in their hair,. The most disa...

Under the Loupe: July 2012

Tuesday, 24 July 2012. The Joy of Serendipity. I’ve settled into a routine now the kids are back at school. There’s too much housework in there for my liking. But there is the healthy addition of regular exercise (and I’m feeling better for it) and barring multiple long phone calls each day I’m even managing to make some jewellery! It feels like it’s been a long time. Since I’ve had time to play at my bench. Special order or a client’s repair. I get to go through my boxes (and boxes! As I looked at them ...

Under the Loupe: August 2012

Thursday, 23 August 2012. What happens if you land on my bench. The weeks are rolling by so fast and I sometimes. Feel I’m swimming upstream – all my good intentions for this season haven’t. Quite making it into reality! Nevertheless there have been some bright points. The children had their first lesson with her last night and everyone survived even to the point of being a little bit excited. No more checking heifers 4x day! I have been hoarding some gorgeous pearls that I received quite a few months ago.
