Donna Cassidy "Infinity Cowl" at the Joyful Jewel 9-29-13

"Infinity Cowl"
Donna Cassidy
One Size Fits All Crochet Scarf
Bamboo, Rayon, Silk, Nylon, Acrylic Yarns
$40

Donna Cassidy must have thought about these cool Fall mornings and evenings when she created this snuggley Infinity Cowl.  It can be arranged on the body: to warm the shoulders, close around the neck, pulled up to cover the bottom of the ears, or draped saucily down the front.  The fibers include luxurious silk, versatile acrylic, sheen of rayon, durability of nylon, and the contemporary chic of bamboo.  The colors, various shades of blue with a slight tinge of green and also of purple, ensure that this piece complements a variety of clothing.  Adding both warmth and style to the softness of the myriad of yarns, this is sure to be a favorite.

Marilyn Penrod "Flower Boy" at the Joyful Jewel 9-26-13

"Flower Boy"
Marilyn Penrod
Acrylic on Canvas, 16" x 20"
$295, Framed Original

Marilyn Penrod's "Flower Boy" is certainly precious.  I love how the colors of the flowers and of the cat and his reflection match, bringing out the vibrancy of each.  What do you imagine this boy is thinking about?  Perhaps he is waiting by the window to hear your car approaching, wistfully wishing it was now.

Donna Cassidy "Seaweed Scarf" at the Joyful Jewel 6-1-13

"Seaweed Scarf"
Donna Cassidy
Freeform with Bamboo & Rayon Yarns, Edged in Mohair
$40

     This scarf, a new design, by Donna Cassidy, is so much fun!  It is very light weight so will be easy to wear even in warmer weather.  The colors are softly muted and the weave is airy and ever-so soft.  One could use this to dress up a simple top and to take attention from a less-than smooth neckline while bringing out the blue in one's eyes or outfit.  There are saucy hanging loops and the scarf is just the right length to wrap loosely all the way around the neck, then leave short tails on either side.
