Back from Seattle and Alaska

We are back from vacation and back to reality! Our cruise to Alaska was wonderful and Seattle was just GREAT! We saw lots places and things this past week. Even though the weather did not cooperate we still made the best of it. So if you are interested in seeing our pictures I set it all up on Shutterfly. http://alaskacruiseseattle2010.shutterfly.com/

I've Been Away!

I really like updating my blog but just have not done it! I guess I am not disciplined. I just took some pictures of some new things I made. The piece pictured here is stunning. It is made of rare graduated Swarovski crystals in opaque turquoise. It looks great on the neck as it lays just perfectly. The summer will go by fast and I have lots to make for the Fall and Holiday season. Always something to do and keeping busy.

Do you ear what I ear? (part four)

I was sent an Etsy convo today from Laura Kuhlmann letting me know she chose a pair of my earrings to be one of several pairs of earrings she was featuring in yellow. And she is from New Jersey too. It was very nice of her to include me, much appreciated.

Vintage Rhinestones

I am soooo addicted to vintage rhinestones! The colors and shapes are endless. Besides creating pretty earrings, part of the fun is looking for the stones. The pair pictured here are so happy and fun in pink, blue and green. The flowers on the post just add to the femininity and flirtiness of these dangles.
