Before I show you what I made last night, check out these awesome wooden boxes I picked up from Ross yesterday for $20!

I’m going to be using them as planters, but not before receiving a little makeover – tutorial to come!

Anyways, this lovely lot of beads showed up at my house the other day!

I got all of these for $20 from FireMountainGems.com – looooving their spring sale.

They stayed in their package for a couple of days, and then I couldn’t resist them anymore!  And I’m so glad that I got them out last night, because it really got me focused on my plans to launch my own summer collection!  YUP!  I can’t give you any details yet, but these pieces are just a teaser of what is to come!

This first piece is made with gold-plated brass chain, and some lovely Green beads that my friend Ashton picked up for me in New York and couple months back.

Recognize the background in these shots?  Yup, I used those boxes for a backdrop.  Gave it a nice vintage feel!

This necklace is made of gold-plated chain and coral mother of pearl beads.

The third necklace was made with the same type of chain and orange-yellow mother of pearl beads.

These earrings are made with freshwater cultured pearls that match the necklace above.

And here is my faaaaavorite piece.  I love it so much that I’m definitely going to keep it!

It’s one long strand of ocean blue freshwater cultured pears.  I just looove the colors.

These are only a sample of what’s to come!  These pieces won’t be made available for purchase until about mid-June.  If you would like to order one in advance or want to talk about a custom  order, please email me!

I can’t wait to show you more!  Until next time!
