Happy New Year! Valentine's Day Sale!

Wow, January is almost over!  The weather here in Michigan actually hasn't been too bad, no sub-zero temperatures to contend with so far this winter, and not much snow, other than the 6 inches we got last weekend.  I've been working on all sorts of different projects this month, feeling a little more creative than usual I guess!  

A few of my recent creations:

Layered Seed Bead Necklace Set

Toes in the Sand, Wine in my Hand Garnet Bracelet

Millefiori Daisy Fused Glass Pendant

Petoskey Stone and Amazonite Necklace

Believe Starfish Resin Pendant

Copper Heart Earrings

Live Love Lake Petoskey Charm Pendant

Since Valentine's Day is just a few weeks away, I thought it might be a good time for a sale too!  Fifteen percent off most items until February 7, 2020.  Check it out here!

Artisan Beads

Looking through my stash of supplies the other day, I realized I have a LARGE amount of artisan components I have collected over the years.  I have been collecting gorgeous pieces from Humblebeads, Gaea, Anne Gardanne, Beadgoodies, Mandrel Beads, and more!  Like many other beaders, quilters, scrapbookers, etc., who hoard their supplies, I have been saving these special pieces for the "perfect" creation.  I have decided to challenge myself to create with these pieces so others can enjoy them too!  Here are a few of my newest creations, along with some other pieces currently in my Etsy shop:
