Summer Lovin'

Hi Everyone. By this time I hope that any dramatic, or should I say TRaumatic weather you've experienced is dwindling. It's been so crazy and now here we go, almost straight into summer weather. Doesn't that mean hurricane season somewhere? Oh my goodness.

Then I'll keep things light by showing you pretty things in chocolate and watermelon......

There HAVE been stranger pairings!

Pull & Wool

I love the soft greens and pinks in this cupcake bead by Palm Tree Queen.  The size is great too so you get a nice little handful of cupcake to use on your hoodies, purses, tote bags, etc.  I have 2 others, one in chocolate and one in caramel.  

You can see the details HERE.  Other than that is hot here like anywhere else, but I keep thanking mother nature for NO big bugs and humidity that is nothing like it is in the southern states!  Finally, after 4 ridiculous "March summers" as I call them, we didn't get summer heat until....gee....SUMMER!

Good ole California.

I just got some wool and am trying my hand at felting...wet & needle.  I'm very excited about the wool in parisian colors of pink, black & white.  My first shape test will be hearts and I'll be sure to show you my progress.

Chocolate Pink Rosebud Cupcake

I just received this yummy Chocolate Rosebud Cupcake bead today. It is a play on my other beads by the same artisan you've seen that usually have pink sprinkles. I like that you now have a choice between the two styles but you get your chocolate one way or another!


For the moment, I only have one of these. More are on order but I don't expect them until mid to late June. So if this is for you, snag it HERE now.

I have another chocolate surprise for you on the next post so I'll see you then!

Cupcakes in Batches

Oh man, these are so pretty. I finally got down to work on these new cupcake beads I've been showing you. These are only 2 of the styles...and I have TWELVE more different styles to show you! One even has an ocean theme...amazing.

Many of them have these fabulous sterling silver ear hooks that have CZ (cubic zirconium) crystals in them so that gave me one more dimension of color to work with along with the Swarovski crystals that top each cupcake.

I mean, just look at all those rosebuds...weeeeeee! Now, please be aware that the glass artist doesn't often make these so I snagged as many as I could and will be rolling out more next week.

I'm going to visit family for the next three days and won't be able to post more earrings until Sunday or Monday. You can see more photos and details HERE.

Have a good weekend.

The Chocolate Kingdom

Ahhh, my son and I finally decorated our Christmas tree last night. Since the three of us live in a small condo, tree space is a premium! Last year we got clever and got a 6 footer and placed it atop a 2 foot chest, giving us an 8 foot tree. We did it again this time around. My son starts the decoration with draping 6 strands of lights around the tree, 3 clear and 3 colored while I pick the Christmas music cd. He really gets into the tree so that is illuminated fully from trunk to tip. He IS the light master!

We both wanted to keep the decorations simple but I must have my icicles so we just used those plus purple, blue & silver round balls...that's it, and we really liked it. My one concession was a big, ballerina glass ornament, but she is long and slender...like an icicle...get it? She has a little pink tutu.




So here are daytime and nighttime shots for you although it probably doesn't mean much unless you are here to see it. Fun, though.

As for jewelry, I assembled the last 10 little amazing choco-caramel glass cupcakes I have from Payton Jett into a bracelet with a heart lock clasp with a dangling key. I call it the Key to the Chocolate Cupcake Kingdom bracelet.

I mean, don't they look edible to you? They sure do to me!
Sales have been strange this season with what's happening in our economy so I was very happy that a few people bought cupcake jewelry and some stickers this week. I happily mailed those packages.




I also cleaned up my Etsy jewelry shop a little to remove pieces that didn't fit the cupcake theme as it seems that is what most viewers and buyers want to see. It looks much better. Much of the jewelry has free worldwide shipping, by the way.

I'd love to see some of your holiday decorations if you care to share.
