Lost My Heart in the Winter Chill

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 14:05:01 -0500

$20.00
These elegant, soulful earrings will you keep you pretty throughout the fickle fall!

Hanging delicately from antique bronze/brass wires, these gorgeous earrings will help you make a statement. Below the ear wire hangs two glass beads with a silvery-grey sheen and a finish that resembles mother of pearl. Below is a clear glass vintage bead with soft black spots. A gorgeous bead of red mahogany obsidian, also called mahogany jasper, dangles elegantly below. The richness of color and faint teardrop shape exude warmth, beauty, and love. Each earring measures a full 3 inches (7.6 cm), but you'll never feel the weight.

$5.00
Keep your digits burn-free in style with this colorful and effective cotton potholder.

This potholder is made using a double thickness of cotton yarn, providing great protection from hot cookie sheets, pans or plates. It can also double as a hot pad or even a great scrubber for all your kitchen surfaces. The fun, colorful potholder is made from one strand of lime green yarn and a second in a variegated pattern of lime green, bright yellow, and fresh teal. Because it is made from 100% cotton, it is heat-resistant and easily washable. It measures 6 inches by 6 inches (15.25 cm by 15.25 cm) and folds easily into your hand. For best results, machine wash and then lay flat to dry.

Delicate Flower Cell Charm

$5.00
Embrace the coming of spring with this dainty cell phone charm!

If you’re Old School like me, you need a way to beautify your clunky cell phone, and there’s no better way than a gorgeous charm! Even if you’re a bit more, ahem, high-tech, cell phone charms can be used as zipper pulls on jackets or purses. This little charmer (pun joyfully intended) features a delightful glass flower bead primarily in pink with a bit of translucent yellow showing through. To showcase this quality, I used five translucent glass yellow beads to dangle alongside. All beads connect to the metal part of the lasso on headpins in a gunmetal finish. The charm is lightweight and adds just a little pizzazz to your dinosaur phone or a zipper.

Would you like to place a custom order of charms? I’d love to work with you! Convo or email me for details.

Musical Memory Bracelet

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:27:03 -0500

$12.00
Music and memory go together like cinnamon rolls and Saturday mornings. How many of us have those songs that instantly evoke moments in time and place, feelings and smells, first kisses and last dances? Music plays an uncanny role in our lives. Go ahead and give it a place of honor in your life with this beautiful, one-of-a-kind bracelet.

This unique piece features two and a half coils of beads on memory wire. Memory wire is a wonderful material that expands while still maintaining its rounded shape. As a result, it can fit absolutely anyone. There is no clasp, so it’s easy to put on. The metallic beads have an iridescent, almost oil-slick quality to them. They are mostly dark blue, but the light casts a greenish, purplish hue to them that alternates. In the center hangs a vintage charm featuring a pair of sixteenth notes (or semiquaver/demiquaver), adding whimsy and acting as homage to music, which binds us all together. On the ends dangle pale blue, faceted vintage acrylic beads that complement the whole piece.

If you love music, then this bracelet would love to be yours!
