| Redbud Branch |
Each piece is cast in solid sterling silver and finished to perfection. My favorite so far is the Redbud Branch. I actually have a real one growing up next to the porch – there’s nothing prettier in spring than a blooming Redbud!
Other pieces include the Windflower, Rising Mountain and Recycle Symbol pendants and earrings. Any of these would make a nice Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day gift, either individually or as a set. So head on over to Marcella’s Garden and get something for that special nature-loving gal in your life!

Sterling Silver Ankh Pendant – Now Available!
The exciting news is that the Ankh is finally done! We were a little delayed in getting it finished but it’s on the website now. As mentioned in a previous post, an Ankh is an ancient Egyptian hieroglyph for life or eternal life. Depicted as a cross with a loop as the top, the Ankh appeared widely in tomb paintings and other ancient Egyptian art. Our Ankh was created in response to a customer request and she’s very happy with the result. So check it out!
What Does April Snow Bring?
Ok – so I’ve given up on trying to figure out where April has gone and am now wondering about something else. If April showers bring May flowers, what does April snow bring?Today is April 28th. This is not March 28th. This is April 28th. I repeat – this is April 28th. Is anyone listening? Obviously not Mother Nature!
Where Has April Gone?
Ok - so who took April? The month is vanishing at such an alarming rate - there must be someone responsible! Wasn't it just a snowy Easter a few days ago?The weather here in the rugged canyon is keeping us guessing but we did have a beautiful weekend full of family and fun. The grands got to hunt eggs (as you can see, we don't make it easy!) even if it was a couple of weeks late. At least we had sun instead of snow.
Sean Swarner - Mountaineer Extraordinaire
I ran across an extremely inspirational young man while web surfing. Sean Swarner not only survived two different forms of terminal cancer during his teens but also went on to become an elite mountaineer. This amazing young man is a true inspiration to all. Check out his story and visit the Cancer Climber Association site to learn more. You’ll be glad you did!Flowers for Mother’s Day

| Whimsical Wind Flower post earrings. |
Mother’s Day is coming in just five weeks! Have you thought about a gift for your mom, your grandma or the mother of your children?

| Unique Miner's Lettuce pendant. |
Flowers are an extremely popular Mother’s Day gift. Unfortunately, flowers usually last for only a short time. If you’d like to give flowers that last forever, consider flower-theme jewelry.
Please check out the selection in the Horn’s Jewelry Nature section where you’ll find a variety of designs from which to choose. What about a pair of whimsical Wind Flower post earrings? Or the unique Miner’s Lettuce pendant?
My personal favorite, the Flower and Heart pendant, is actually located with the Heart Jewelry. Anyway, browse around. There just may be the perfect piece for that perfect mom!
40th Anniversary of Earth Day - April 22, 2010
The first Earth Day was held on April 22, 1970 and has been an annual event since that time. Founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson to bring awareness to environmental issues, Earth Day was celebrated by 20 million Americans that first year. Just 20 years later, in 1990, Earth Day had spread to 141 countries and involved 200 million people.This year marks the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which also turns 40 at the end of this year, has a lot of Earth Day information on the EPA website. One of the EPA’s programs is Pick 5 for the Environment, which encourages individuals to commit to at least 5 actions that help protect the environment.
Horn’s Jewelry has a nifty recycle symbol that is available as post earrings or two different styles of pendant - an open ribbon design and a medallion. Order the item of your choice and wear your commitment for all to see! Or give as a gift to a friend or family member. And remember to reduce, reuse and recycle every day! What are you doing for Earth Day this year?
