A fresh start in a new city.  I have so much more light in this beautiful apartment.  Looking forward to taking photos with natural light instead of setting up my whole light/tent thing. 
  
Everything looks better this way.....


Now if only I could unearth all of my beads and get going.

New digs

Case of the blues

Peacock blue is this season's hot color.  These moody earrings do just fine!  Beautiful blue/black vintage glass beads with oxidized sterling silver chain tassels on oxidized sterling silver wires.  Just perfect for the coming season.

If you look in my shop right now you will find that summer styles can be had for a discount.....

say it isn't so...

Summer is ending, it's true.  I will be moving to my new apartment by the lake just for the end of the best season.  I will wear my white beads and bring a sweater.  Cooler weather will not push me indoors, or into wool, just yet.  So keep your summer jewelry on and get to the water while we still have time.  Then start planning that beach vacation.

Vintage glass on oxidized sterling silver.  These long beads look like bamboo to me, they are special beads.  I like the length of these earrings like skinny jeans for your ears!

Where I will not be this summer....

I will not be in my beautiful, wonderful, studio (unless),  making silver earrings like these.  It is a sad, sad, truth.  Maybe in the winter...........

Still hot

It's hotter yet.  Air conditioning is my only love...  (well maybe not my only love)  Pretty things still hold sway.

Hot, hot, hot

It's getting hot here in the big city.  I like to wear a loose dress and a long necklace.  The less confining the better.  Let's hope for a breeze and working a/c on the subway...  For those of you at the beach, well, I envy you.  Let's just leave it at that.  Here is a summer sizzler for you.

My pile

Lately I have been grabbing things from inventory to keep for myself.  The pile is getting a little too big, but I am just sure that I need them all....  Maybe I just need more hooks to put them on.  When I move I will have to devise a better system.
