Innuendo

I spotted these charms in my news feed on Facebook and I just had to have them! They are stunning and they are by Inviciti.  If you haven't checked out their Etsy site, you really should. They have some awesome pieces.

I love pairing this shade of Chalcedony with antique silver. 

You will find these earrings on my website here.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a fabulous weekend!

Beach Chic

 Ah, the feel of the sand between your toes, warm wind in your hair and the cool water lapping up on the shore....who doesn't love the beach? I really enjoy making beach-y designs and these are no exception. I think they'd be perfect to wear on a vacation to the beach. They would dangle in the warm ocean breeze while the starfish crystals would catch the light in such a fun flirty way! Unfortunately we have no plans to go to the beach anytime soon but a girl can dream.....

Periwinkle Drops

Periwinkle is my new favorite color. I didn't give it much thought until my friends and I discovered an old book that my mom had called, "Color Me Beautiful" by Carole Jackson. Apparently in the late seventies and early eighties women had "Color Me Beautiful" parties where they had their skin, eye and hair coloring analyzed and they would then be a season. Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. I knew my mom was an autumn and I just assumed that I was too. My friend (who happened to be a natural at this after reading this book and finding even more info on it via the internet) told me that I was wrong, that I am a summer. Summer? My least favorite season (I know, oddball here-but I hate the heat)! But after reading up on what colors to wear, jewelry, make up, etc. well...I gave in. She was right. I was doing most everything wrong (of course!)...well, except turquoise I had that on my side. I bought a periwinkle blouse and got so many compliments on it. Who knew? Periwinkle is my color.

If you are curious now as to what season you are, well here's a link to help you get starte

The original book and hey look, it's on Amazon!

Ocean Water

I know it's only March 14th but I could definitely use some beach time after this long cold winter, how about you? I actually made these for myself. I wear a ton of blues and greens in the summer so these will be perfect. I wire wrapped some Chalcedony gemstones onto these gorgeous sterling filigree teardrops. Just looking at them reminds me of the ocean, especially the warm water of the Gulf of Mexico.

I took this pic on one of our trips to Florida. This is taken on Captiva Island, FL.  A gorgeous place to stay! And an awesome bead store is only about an hour north of here. Google Andersons Bead Room  and just look at the pics! Love that place. 

Thanks for looking and have a fabulous weekend!

Forest Dew Drops

Forest Dew

by Thenevah

Sparkling nymphs play at dawn

With the fae laddies they find fair

To dance many a dance in airs

Above the ground or on lea's green lawns

Betwixt forests mystery where bluebells pair.

Beneath canopy even falls violet

Upon branch and nest lay its breast

Awaiting morns sweet suffuse wet

Cooling the heat of noon's bright protest

In honor of Summers sonata in ultraviolet.

Copper Leaf Shield Components, little Chalcedony beads and Headpins by HavanaBeads.

Copper Leaves

 I had a copper sheet that I had been cutting some crosses out of and I thought, "I wonder what other shape I could just free form?" and then leaves popped in my head. Easy peasy. I also wanted to keep these earthy and chose beads that would keep the feel of that.

I think they would look fab with this collection I made on Polyvore.
