Great Changes

Making and sharing my jewelry has been so much fun that I've decided it's time to expand a little...No more exchanging earrings and checks in my parents mailbox or meeting in the Target parking lot...I am in the process of setting up an account at Etsy.com!!! Smitten was taken in over a million different ways, so I came up with "Charm Du Jour" (Charm of the day). I will let y'all know when it is official, hopefully by the end of the week!

More earrings...

I have a small confession...I haven't been posting ALL of the earrings I've been making!!! So after a few requests I took pictures of any earrings I've made that were not posted and here they are!! ENJOY! :o)

All black czech glass beads...the large drop bead is glass filigree.

Red drop flower earrings

Gold plated finding with a drop of a freshwater pearl

Antique brass finding with a green czech glass bead to add some color

Navy blue flower drop earrings

Geaux Tigers!! Purple and gold glass beads with silver plated fluer de lis. They are sooo Louisiana!!!

GEAUX Saints...Win or lose lets keep cheering them on! Gold freshwater pearl, black glass flower bead, and of course the fleur de lis!!

Tiny purple glass flower bead drop earrings

Brown czech glass drop beads

The shell and wooden beads along with the glass leaf bead gives these earrings a natural look.

Are you the fun and bright type? I LOVE these silver plated earrings with a bright splash of yellow glass beads!

Gold and brown drop earrings....

New Necklace...

Through all of the holiday hustle and bustle and Christmas joy it's still not hard for me to find time to create! Here's my latest necklace. It's something simple yet elegant...Made with real freshwater pearls and antique bronze findings...Feel free to email me if interested....ENJOY!!!

Only 2 left!

The windows ended up being a GREAT success and I only have two left!!!! Here are pictures of the last two available...WHEW!

Geaux Saints!!

I have new Saints jewelry to share with lifelong SAINTS fans or my growing list of bandwagon friends! How awesome is it that our home-state football team has the best chance they've EVER had to play in the SUPER BOWL??? Although I have owned a SAINTS t-shirt for over 2 years now I will admit that I haven't been as excited to watch a Saint's game as I am to watch them play the Dallas Cowboys tonight!! Bandwagon fan or not, we shouldn't feel bad to cheer on our SAINTS!! I've definitly made a set for myself for the game tonight...ENJOY!!!! :)

This necklace is antique bronze and VERY light weight. Perfect for cheering on your favorite football team!

These earrings match perfect with the necklace!

Vintage Inspired

Every now and then some of the places I order beads from will send me free samples of jewelry findings from their shop. And I loooooooooove FREE stuff! One shop sent me this antique style filigree wrap, but I put it to the side having NO CLUE what to do with it. I recently decided to use the piece to make a necklace and this is what I came up with! I'm not sure what the actual use of this metal wrap is, but I was so smittened by the final product I ordered more peices to make more necklaces!!!!!!!
