Meet the “Ceylon Cinnamon Mare!”

01 January, 2017  Meet the “Ceylon Cinnamon Mare!”   Well….Happy New Year!! (smile)  I thought that this would be a perfect day to initiate one of my declared “New Year’s Resolutions”.  I’m hoping that I can indeed stick to it, even though I know that the “inspiration” to sit and knock out a “Chronicle” does…

Blue & Yellow Sailboat….“I can’t believe that I did that!!”

19 October, 2015 Blue & Yellow Sailboat….“I can’t believe that I did that!!”  I’ll tell you, this story is really one of the ones that I definitely will remember forever, because I was completely unprepared for the things that happened that day!!  On my 50th birthday, I was caught totally by surprise by a number…

When a Rose is more than a Rose!

14 January, 2017 “When a Rose is more than a Rose!”  Good Evening JoJo.  I’m really pleased with myself right now because I’m actually trying to make good on my declaration to be more prolific in the production of installments of “The Crystal Chronicles” this year.

The Thrill of Victory….The Agony of Defeat!

7 August, 2016 The Thrill of Victory….The Agony of Defeat! Hi JoJo, I’m surprising myself this morning because I’m sitting here so pumped up about writing this installment that I’m actually starting it before I’ve photographed the pieces I’m writing about!! (smile)  That might be because 1) I don’t want to forget what I’m thinking…

It’s My Birthday….Welcome, “Equus Regis”!

 24 August, 2016 It’s My Birthday….Welcome, “Equus Regis”! I’ll bet this title already has you wondering what I’m thinking.

A Horse is A Horse…

May 7, 2016 A Horse is A Horse…. This is an interesting title because I decided to incorporate a number of my pieces under this overall umbrella.  Right away though, I’m reminded of the Waterford Crystal Horse head I got in Hong Kong in 1996, when I went to Hong Kong and then Panang, Malaysia…

Run like the Wind…

The Greydient Stallion

7 May, 2016 The Greydient Stallion…. Wow, Jodie….I can’t believe it.  It’s your birthday once again and I knew when I woke up that I needed to at least try to continue a small bit of a tradition!! (ha,ha,ha)  Okay…..so I know that I have not been the most prolific author as it refers to…

Introduction

The Crystal Chronicles The Stories Behind the Glass At long last I’ve decided to begin to tell the series of stories behind a collection of interesting, beautiful, and perhaps unique pieces of glass sculptures that I’ve collected over a period now of more than 20 years! While some of them are rather small in stature,…

Moda Italiano

15 October, 2015 “Moda Italiano”….A Sailboat Obsession! Alright….it’s time I got this project started in earnest. (smile)  I’m sitting here actually a little bit excited because I’m finally feeling “in the zone” to write the first story that will have a photo associated with it!  This is really an appropriate title because it was literally…

A “Titanic” Find

23 May, 2016 A “Titanic” find….Our hearts sank, but the Ship didn’t!   Hey Jodie, you just might get a kick out of this little story of the occurrence at the Antique Mall I had just yesterday. (smile)  It was Sunday, and I was feeling pretty good, albeit a bit tired because of the overall…
