      Very nice brooch, very deep beautiful green and gorgeous black horse! He's so noble and proud looking, very reminiscent of Black Beauty. I think he's won the grand national or something looking so proud like that! :)

      Searching thank you for your terrific compliment, really glad you liked the enamel here - I usually like more bling in my jewelry but this fellow was so bright & shiny I fell in love with him. I've been very lucky finding some nice Sphinx figurals lately, most of their designs were very original

      Thank you Lauren for your fabulous praise & comparison to Black Beauty, yes that's so true, I loved both the book & movie as a girl. With his nostrils flaring I could easily imagine he's run a hard race at the Grand National & all that's missing around the horseshoe is his wreath of winner flowers!

      Karen I'm really glad you enjoyed the enameling as well, it's really nice with the pearly green horseshoe - I've always loved horses (used to ride), and some of my family members were fond of going to the racetrack on occasion; I went a couple times and it was a thrill to have breakfast near the paddock where the beautiful thoroughbreds exercised. Thank you for your awesome compliment

      Hi Falcon & thanks so much for loving several of my posts today, you are super kind! Normally I would thank you for each one but until they totally fix the site, I'm trying not to "hog" the site with too many thank you's. I'm VERY grateful for your thoughtfulness & fingers crossed we will get through this :)
      Late Tuesdays are my usual "thank you loves" night & I want to apologize to you & all my super friends for stopping this momentarily, we're all struggling to bring CW back to normal & I think they're on the right track
