Stop the war in Ukraine

Tomorrow it will be a week since the war started in Ukraine. Someone is still calling it a military operation and I can't believe people can be so blind. People are dying in Ukraine, children are being born underground in subways or hospital basements, beautiful cities, people's houses and some historical landmarks are ruined. 

 

I spent last week glued to news and my phone saying goodbyes to my family and friends in Kiev as soon as bombing started. I cried a lot lately. I started to notice blue and yellow colors (Ukrainian flag colors) everywhere and feel the support. We went to an anti-war rally this Sunday and it made me feel little better but the fact is, the war still continued. The "brotherly nations" concept used in Soviet Union will never be applied anymore to Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. The horrific reality is here. That same people who claimed to remember the horrors of World War II are committing crimes against humanity right now. Shame on those who started it and for their supporters. I stand with Ukraine.

 

I am back :) happy Friday!

 Good morning everyone and happy Friday! I am back after a long break in posting, there was just too many things going on. Summer is almost here so I am preparing a new inventory for both shops for the coming holidays 2021.

Here is one of the new listings and a new addition to a vintage celestial jewelry collection in my shop, a Native American made sun and moon earrings. A very impressive design and a quality work! Marked with a Waletzko Sterling and a rising sun symbol. I only have 1 pair so please let me know if you are interested.
