Sterling silver, gold, bronze, oxidization, welding, metal wire and then just plain metal. These are the tools that jewelry artist Amy Ambroult uses to create her magic. Recently I had the pleasure of receiving one of her pieces. To celebrate the launch of Audrey Press Publishing, I commissioned Amy to make a silver charm bracelet. Each charm representing another experience in the author/publisher realm. It is such a thrill to wear one of Amy's pieces of art.

Clearly it is time to celebrate!!!!

Today, live from Massachusetts, Amy, A, and the girls are hosting the first leg of The Fox Diaries Blog Tour. If a family of foxes had a fan club, Amy's girls would definitely be at the top of the list. It was because of "The Girls" that I started posting weekly on Thursdays. Every Thursday they would hurry home from school to find out what our little fox family was doing. We loved hearing their reactions and insights about our little garden visitors.

Please head on over to Amy's blog Elemental for a glimpse into their look at the Fox Diaries as well as a chance to win a copy of your very own. Be sure to have a look at Amy's incredible jewelry while you're there. A special thank you to the Ambroult family for all of the care you've given over the last couple years and especially today.
