Wedding Jewelry * Special Order

I just completed a wedding set, bracelet and earrings, for a bride in CA. The bride specified the colors of Swarovski pearls and crystals to be used and we changed the design just a tad. The set is simply STUNNING!

Lily of the Valley Necklace

As soon as I received the June 2011 issue of Bead & Button I knew I had to make the necklace on the cover. I LOVE lily of the valley and working with seed beads. I learned some new stitches and thoroughly enjoyed working on the piece. I think I can wear the necklace up or down and will wear it soon. Happy beading!

Pretty Spring Flowers

The past few days I have busy making earrings mixing and matching new with the old. These combine vintage rhinestones, Swarovski flowers and brass filigree. All vintage inspired but easy to wear all year long. All available in my Etsy Shop.

New Earrings!

It's been awhile since I have made some new things. The past couple of days I have made some pretty earrings for Spring and Summer. I am posting a few of my new creations which I have listed in my Etsy Shop. Swarovski and Vintage are my favorites plus I can't stop from using pretty resin flowers. Soon I need to start making things for Christmas!

Yummy Ice Cream Cone Earrings!

I had to make these! I have had all the parts for sometime but had not taken the time to make them. They turned out really cute and remind of the Summer season! They can be found in my Etsy Shop!

Destashing Supplies on Artfire

I have decided to downsize my stash of jewelry making supplies. It will be a big undertaking to get things posted to Artfire but it is something that needs to be done. I started today and hope to continue for the next the several weeks. So if you need or like jewlery supplies take a peek and you might see something you like or need.

Melissa Grakowsky Design Rose Necklace

Winter is almost over and the daffodils are almost bursting open! We went to Mexico for our 6th time and had a great time with dear friends. # weeks goes by so fast but it is always good to get home and sleep in our own bed. Well I went to a bead class at Beads by Blanche which is my very favorite bead store. Blanche and Wendy (the color maven) are ALWAYS friendly and so helpful, love them both. The class project was taught by Melissa Grakowsky a very talented designer. The project was a challenge for me but fun. I did not finish the necklace during class but I did work on it for several days at home. This necklace caught my eye because of the beaded rose and lace. I LOVE flowers. So I am showing off my finished piece which I am looking forward to wearing soon!

Hampton Junction...GREAT FOOD!

If you live in New Jersey or are driving by Hampton which is in Hunterdon County then stop for a bite to eat at the Hampton Junction. Wonderful homemade food for breakfast, lunch or dinner in a very friendly atmosphere. We have always had a very positive experience and vow to come back often.
