Little Lovelies Freshwater Pearl Bracelet

April 7, 2010

 Well, I promised a delicate and feminine bracelet, so here goes:


Yes, it's quite a departure from my usual "substantial" charm bracelets!  But it has two of my favorite things ~ pearls and (understated) bling!  I fell in love with these rhinestone studded balls the moment I saw them.


I just loved adding them as dangling charms at the end of the bracelet.  Does anyone else love these gem-studded balls like I do?  How have you used them?  I'd love to hear your ideas. 

I've already used a few of them in some of my other designs and I can't seem to get enough of them.  They come in all colors and sizes.  I found these at http://Beadbuddies.nethttp://Shipwreckedbeads.com also has a nice selection.  (Sorry ~ I only just learned how to enter html code so that I can reference another website by name without actually typing in the web address and you can just click on the name and off you go!  Unfortunately I don't have time to mess around with code right now!  I'll admit that it sure does LOOK prettier, but alas, the beauty will have to wait.)     

You may also have noticed that I've created more blog "buttons" in draft to promote my blog.  See sidebar....Anyway, I keep changing my mind as to what I want it look like and what I want it to say.  I'm also having trouble just creating the darn thing from scratch.  Any other blog button war stories or helpful hints you'd like to share?  Your insight would be greatly appreciated!  (I'm not sayin' that I'd give you my first born or anything but......who knows :) )

Time to catch up on tivo'd stuff with the hubs.  Popcorn anyone?  TTFN

Key to My Heart Charm Necklace

March 19, 2010



Well, hellooooooooo Spring!  NOT!:(  Today was so gorgeous (mid-60's) that I even got the hubby to take some photos of my jewelry outside.  Alas, it's supposed to snow, yes SNOW, tomorrow and Sunday.  Hopefully only 1-2 inches but who needs it, you know?  I'm just sayin'

My latest charm necklace is the Key to My Heart charm necklace.  It's a 24" multi-tiered chain necklace, made of vintage gold-plated chain, antique brass chain, a pewter finish toggle and 3 charms.  The two antique brass charms are a heart and a key.  Last but not least is the bead charm I made out of 3 amber beads and a vintage black oblong bead.   The charms look like this:




I'm lovin' it!  Now it's time to put it in my Etsy shop.  My recent inventory has been somewhat depleted so I'm trying to madly fill it back up (to all of, like, 10 items).  Anyway, not enough time in the day.  Right now it's time to spend time with the kiddos before bed.  Ciao.
