A new beginning


Hello lovely earring lovers,

Is it too late to wish you all a happy New Year? I don’t know what the protocol is, or if there is a protocol at all. How long can you wish each other happy New Year after New Years Eve? I am clueless. Ah well, it doesn’t matter, I just gonna do it:
I wish you all a wonderful, happy and healthy New Year, full of joy, laughter, cake, butterflies, sunshine, coffee/tea and earrings.

As you might know the last 2 years were not the happiest years of my life. But a new year gives new opportunities, new insights, new chances. Did you make New Years resolutions? I made several but one of mine as always is losing weight. Somehow I never succeed. Another plan is to re-launch Esfera. Yep, slowly new ideas are forming in my head.

My first earrings of this year are a pair made with beautiful lampwork head pins from Linda Newnham  (Earthshine beads). I so love the colors in these; matte beige with a shiny silvery/coppery accent. To be honest, this pair was made in august already. It was just waiting there, forgotten to list in my shop. Another New Years resolution: list jewellery shortly after it has been made.
Well, that's it for today. Thank you so much for visiting and I hope to see you again in a couple of weeks. And you know I really love to read your comments, so don’t be shy, just write a few lines. I always respond.

Wishing you a wonderful day,
Janine

  2. Janine, these earrings are so sweet, my first thought, yet have that great rustic side, too, that blends to create a beautiful feel. I keep meaning to purchase the beads you have at the top, and I never do. Now that I've seen them in action. . . it's going on the must have list. :) Beautiful work, Janine! The weight? Oh it's so much harder than in the younger years! Hugs.

    1. Thank you so much Norbel for taking time to comment. Yep, these beads are a must have :)
      And I agree with the Weight Thing. It is harder when you are older.... somehow these Fat cells do not like to leave my body as they have been sitting there for so long already LOL

  3. I love these earrings, Janine! The ribs on the headpins reflect the stripes on the top beads, and the pop of color in the Czech glass flower beads is perfection...as always! Best wishes for a happy and peaceful New Year to you, my dear, and much love! <3 xoxo

  8. These are so delicate yet so perfect - love how the lines in the Czech glass mirror the lines in the leaves. I don't think you could have made these any more perfect! Happy New Year to you with hopes for peace and happiness :)
