What Inspires You?

I love the beach!!  There is just something about it  that draws me in every time.  While I am there I always search for shells.  Sometimes I come up with nothing.  Sometimes I find great stuff.  But then I bring them home and they sit there, in a baggie or jar and just collect dust.  So I thought why not do something with them?  So I did.
I found this shell at Emerald Isle Beach, NC.  It is completely flat.  The waves and sand just worked their magic on it and it turned out like this over who knows how many years.  I added a faux pearl and a multi-faceted crackled glass bead in lavender along with a sterling silver silver dollar charm.  A custom stamped charm could easily be added to this piece that reads, "Life's a beach" or something to that nature.


I really want to go to the beach now!!

Lots of sparkle without too much *bling*

I have created a new bracelet that has some beautiful sparkle and shine to it without being overly blingy.  It's on a silver cable chain bracelet with 2 different multi-faceted glass beads, a freshwater pearl, a Swarovski crystal bicone bead and a 12mm round silver stamping charm just big enough for 1-2 initals.  It could be a great gift for a bridesmaid, a new mom, prom, graduation, etc.  And it's available in numerous color combinations. $18

Another Sixer Please









Over the weekend I finished 6 more customer orders!!!  And so far, so good!  They were all done on donut style stamping blanks yet ranging from 1 name up to 4...that's a lot of letters to fit on one donut but I did it.

Wrapped around your wrist

Are you looking for a cute, fun, colorful bracelet to finish off that sundress?  I make beaded bracelets like this one:
The best part is you can have a bracelet made in any color you wish.  They are made with glass seed beads on flexible beading wire and a toggle clasp.  One of these beauties can be yours for only $8.50.  That's a steal if you ask me.  And even better is that it will be handmade by yours truly.  I bead because I care!

Did you know I make other jewelry too?

Besides making stamped jewelry I also make beaded jewelry.  I just made these earrings with sterling silver angled ear hooks, Swarovski crystals and glass beads.  The pair costs $10.

Two more under my belt

I have finished 2 more customer orders.
The first one is two 1" sterling silver discs with 2
sterling silver star embellishments.  Finishing it off are
2 Swarovski channel drop beads with the birthstones
Aquamarine and Topaz.  This customer preferred to
not add a chain.  It cost $18.






This one is also two 1" sterling silver discs.  Along with it are 2 Swarovski channel drop beads, both in Peridot.  There are also 2 sterling silver charms, a butterfly and a stamped heart.  This customer preferred a 20" sterling silver bead chain to hang her beautiful charms on.  It cost $28.
