bracelet with soft rose and gray crystals. She comes with a matching pair of earrings too.

grab her up. :)

Coming Up Roses Necklace from byLGD

This is just glorious. The colors. The soft feel of the stones. I adore this. I hope you will too. There are only TWO. Just TWO. I have NO more Gaspeite left... that green is so vivid.... so bright and cheery.

UPDATE: Now there's ONE remaining. Just ONE.

If you're an owner of the Clay Pots bracelet, then you might like this to match. I didn't design it to match exactly, just compliment the other. It's adorable and you are sure to get many wonderful remarks when it hangs from your neck.

Carnelian Rocks Necklace

Friday Special! It matches the Namaste bracelet too. Check it out HERE!

This was meant to go up earlier, but I wanted to get some things posted today so it had to wait. I used a variety of gemstones in this piece, quartz, agate, coral, amethyst, sardonyx (more white than black), adventurine and laced it with large freshwater pearls (triple grade, gorgeous polish!) and boro lampwork beads. It's a true tumbled beauty! I hope you enjoy it! Click HERE to view.

Also, an update on the Peace and Love Bracelet and Earrings sets that sold at my Spring Sale... the beads should be arriving next week and they won't take me long to string up and mail out. Everything else is already here, waiting (toggles, silver, gemstones etc). Thank you for being so patient! I had a lot more orders than expected and had to have more boro beads made up. Thanks so much!

Talk to you later :)

Namaste Bracelet Set

Good afternoon! I wanted to put this up before the day gets away from me. :) You can see it here...

In other news... I didn't get anything shipped yesterday. Around 1p I got a call from the school nurse, telling me that Natalie had been in an accident. Another student was playing with a ball (a soccer ball, we think) and he didn't see Natalie walking in front of him, likewise Natalie didn't see him getting ready to kick the ball. ::sigh:: As soon as she spotted him, the ball had already been kicked and Natalie put her hand up to stop it. Snap! So, long story short... it turns out that she broke a bone in the top of her hand... the bones that lead into the wrist. So, the rest of my day was consumed with that... it's always something around here, isn't it? One of these days people are going to think I make all this stuff up!

Natalie's doing okay, a little sore, but otherwise okay. Poor thing! You know, last year she broke her elbow because the neighbor filled a hole on her property with bricks (difficult to see, easy to feel!) and natalie fell into the hole while running between the houses. Here's to hoping that this is the last accident for Natalie!

I need to scat! Work to do and stuff to mail out! Have a great day! :)

Clay Pots Gemstone & Lampwork Bracelet

Hello everyone! I hope you're enjoying your afternoon! I managed to list the bracelet I'd made the other day and believe it or not, here it is. :) It's a little different than my normal style, but perfect for the Summer months. It's filled with gemstones and lampwork discs, a nice large-sized Bali ornate bead and a cute little Karen Hill Tribe Elephant charm. There's no crystal in this bracelet because I think it should be worn at the beach, poolside or hiking in the mountains... and crystal isn't really good to take to any of those places... (maybe if you're poolside and just lounging... now that might be okay... lol). So, this bracelet is just right to take along wherever you travel this Summer. You can find Clay Pots here. Enjoy!

My Own Style Gemstone Necklace

Hello Everyone! Turns out that I had to take Deanie to her Jazz class tonight (normally Jeff takes her) so I'm a bit late in putting up the necklace, but... HERE I AM! :) lol

This 19" necklace with 2" extension chain has natural gemstones and pink Jade (dyed). The AAA grade Onyx puffy oval focal sets off to the side and all the little rondelles in between the gemstones are also Onyx. I found these stones at the show and had to get them. They're $34.99 with free shipping, a super gift for Mom's Day.

If you'd like to purchase one of the My Own Style necklaces, click the button below. :)

New work in the works.

Aside from making over a hundred beads last night at the torch, I finished up eight more orders! Yeah! It's getting better, I feel good. :) lol I loved my time at the torch, I have to tell you, because I finished some gorgeous colors. Lately, I've been in the solid-color-mood and it just feels so nice to make some simple yet rich-in-color beads. Gorgeous stuff, I tell ya! I'll be putting them into work soon.

Later today I'll have a special. It's a gemstone necklace with lots of muted colors with hot pink thrown in, I have seven in stock and they're going to be $34.99. Yup. As soon as I put the photo up I'll attach a pay button, but it will only be on the blog. The photos are already edited, I just need to post them up here.

Be back soon!

Bead Show. Fun. Rain.

Okay. So. The bead show? It was great. It wasn't nearly as large as the show's that come to Cincinnati but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Not many people there to crowd around each table, making it difficult to even see any of the items for sale, nope... maybe fifty people walking about. Awesome stuff. I found a lot of wonderful pieces that I absolutely cannot wait to use! Avacado greens, Fiesta corals, lemony yellows, candy apple reds... ahhhh, the beauty of color! At one point, I thought I was going to eat them right off the table. :) lol Moon came with me and thankfully she understands the addiction one might have to these sorts of things... she with her love-affair with paper and punches and me with all things beading. However, I really like paper too! I just never get to use it.. I need to make time!! ADD IT TO THE LIST!! :) So after the bead show, Jill, Moon's GPS navigational systems helper, took us promptly and EASILY to Rafferty's, one of our favorite lunching places. You can get a salad and soup for 7 bucks! And, it's a great salad. Definitely check it out if you have one in your area. :)

Later, we met back up for dinner. We had my folks, Moon and her kiddo's and my crew. Pizza. Roasted marshmallows over the fire pit, making S'mores. Charlie throwing golf balls in random fashion (classic!). Charlie trying to help Jeff build a fire. Charlie wanting to carry HUGE sticks cuz he so strong! Girls giggling and making their food talk. Moon chasing after Charlie. Us laughing. Sallie and Bella playing--sooo cute! I did a lot of watching. LOL It was fun!

It's raining today. We have very little internet connection. Odd how bad weather can cause this. We have mild rain. Nothing major. Just rain. And no connection. Nice. I'm using the wireless thing that Jeff takes with him on appointments. I love that thing!

Talk later,
Laurie

My Newest finds!

Hello! I just wanted to make a quick post and let you have a sneak peek at my newest finds! :)

This next photo is from a customer who asked me to create something in these colors, I think I did pretty good, don't you!? I LOVE the strands that I purchased and this is just a drop in a big bucket. :) I really grabbed up a LOT of beautiful sizes, colors and shapes.

Talk to you later!
