Love That Lasts

I just love this bracelet and what it stands for. It was a custom design for a great-grandmother. Jim loves Ruby. The Swarovski crystals represenst the birth months of their seven children and their anniversary month.

Young love turned to mature, committed love through years of life experience - probably a lot of really harsh times along with the times of great joy. There are great rewards for standing firm on the commitments we make in marriage.

If you want to celebrate the love of someone special in your life, contact me and we will design the perfect representation. The Scrabble(R) tiles are a fun, fresh, new look (using something old that evokes great family memories!) but I also work with alphabet cubes for personalization.

Shades of Purple with Sardonyx and Gunmetal Chain

Lemon-Lime

Here is another fun bead that Karl chose!

Pretty in pink

The pink/mauve foil lined glass focal bead and mauve crystal is very pretty with copper! Karl picked out this bead when we were bead shopping one day. He has a habit of adding strands of beautiful beads to my purchases that I have no idea what to do with! He has good taste though!

Slide Show

I have lots of photos ready for the slide show -- just gotta find time to do it! If this is your visit - please come back for photo updates!

Fall Schedule

I'm in a flurry this week trying to get all the final details worked out for my first show of the season. I've been working on a mailing and hope to get an e-mail out too. If you are not on my e-mail list and would like to be, please send me an e-mail and just ask -- it carries no obligations, I don't sell your name, etc. Just news and updates!

Saturday, October 4, I will be at the Stewart Elementary PTA 1st Annual Craft Show, 2123 Roach, Salina, KS from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.

Sounds like a great Girls' Day trip! I'm anxious to see a co-worker's wife's booth. I've been told that she makes really cute tote bags -- and next to beads I think bags ranks pretty high on my list of things I love!

Here is a photo of some Christmas Tree and Snowman earrings. They are Swarovski Crystal and Czeck Glass for the Snowman's snowballs. These are already proving to be popular. The Christmas Trees are gorgeous and the Snowman is just too darn cute! If you click on the picture it should enlarge for you. It is a bit flurry -- sorry about that -- remember, I don't claim to be a great photographer!

Hope to see you soon!
