It's a boy

Sooooo much has happened since I last posted a couple of weeks ago. I had mentioned that I'd soon be a "grand-maman" later on in April. Well, turns out that this little cuddle monkey decided he needed to come out 3 weeks early (!!!)

My husband and our brand new grandson, wrapped in a soft baby blanket that I designed

We had a bit of a scare because of some late-pregnancy complications. His mommy was going to be induced to get him out last Friday, but he decided to come out himself without medical help... a few days earlier than planned.

Thank God everyone is now fine, healthy and safe. Little Harvey (and his mommy) ended up going on a 50 minute Air Evacuation Helicopter ride when he was just 30 hours old to get him ASAP to the big hospital on the South end of the Island as he was having difficulty breathing.

He is ever so precious and we're all very proud and happy of this new arrival in our family.

So, in his honor, I was inspired to make something in 'blue' to celebrate our new beautiful grandson:

I created this design starting with some cool 'iceberg' blue (gray-ish blue) Czech glass beads at the top, nesting them in some Bali silver bead caps.

I have a large collection of pearls - some of them I have purchased from one of my favorite Pearls seller on Ebay: Rainbow Island Pearls, and these large Keshei pearls with natural light shades of blue-mauve looked like a good fit. I love their uneven surface catching the light and adding movement... paired with a set of my small handmade polymer clay dagger drops.

These drops have specks of silver leaf, and swirls of greyish-blue. I used simple hypoallergenic Titanium ear wires to finish the design.

The polymer clay drops almost remind me of stars in the evening sky around here. They move a lot, and are really fun to watch. Very lightweight and versatile!

I think these earrings would be perfect to wear with a pair of jeans and a cool Summery tank top.  What do you think?

Have a wonderful weekend ahead!

Cheers,
New Grandma (Grand-maman) Nathalie :)

Hydrangea

Hello lovely earring fans. I hope you are enjoying a wonderful end of summer. Here in Greece we still have warm weather so we can still swim and enjoy the sun. My apologies as I have to keep this post short. I am a bit running behind with my work.
These earrings are a bit shorter than my usual style. The inspiration were the gorgeous lampwork glass beads from Into the Fire. Half of the set was etched for me on request. I think they turned out  beautifully.

They are combined with Czech glass flowers in a beautiful blue. The colours in the lampwork and Czech glass beads make me think of Hydrangea which I love. Of course with wonderful handmade antiqued copper ear wires made by Faerystones.

These are available in my shop. Thank you so much for looking. We here at Earrings Everyday love to read your comments, so don't be shy and write a few words. We appreciate it! See you in a couple of weeks.

Wishing you a wonderful week full of joy, laughter, sunshine and flowers.
