Vacation Creation

Greetings! I've actually been designing some here and there this summer -- but haven't taken the time to photograph and post. I made this set with the butterfly pendant and wooden beads while on vacation in July. I'm currently working on some custom bridal designs for a March wedding and making several new things for fall shows. I added the slide show today (after much frustration with the computer!) The golden vase in the photograph was a 50th anniversary gift to my great grandparents -- I think they received it in 1949.

Plum Bazaar

I love to find bead shops when I travel - for any reason! While recently in Branson we visited Plus Bazaar. Not only did we (yes, my hubby gladly shops with me -- he said he has always loved rocks!) enjoy shopping there, but we made a new friend. Susan and two of her sisters own the shop and also one in Emporia, KS. We visited on 3 different days and I learned a few new techniques and bought some really cool beads that I am anxious to incorporate into new designs for the fall. If you are ever in Branson, go check out Plum Bazaar. It is located at 123 Main which is at the bottom of a large hill in historic Branson -- and not too far from the fun, new Branson Landing. I love the name Plum Bazaar, but for me it might have to be Plum Bizaare because I am crazy about all shades of purple AND beads! Now, wonder when I might have a need to travel to Emporia?
