Recently, I was in a very blue mood . . .
Oh, I don’t mean THAT kind of blue mood . . .
I mean THIS kind of blue mood –
and this –
and also this –
then, there was this –
and finally, this –
If you have to feel blue . . .
this is the best kind of blue to be – don’t you agree? 😀
Hugs,
Hi! Come on in. 🙂
I can’t believe it’s May – already. But, my calendar shows no more days for April, so I guess it must be true.
First of all . . .
Did you see all the questions that were sent in last week? Wow!
I was amazed at the range of topics – from silly to serious. It will take a little more time to finish answering all of them. I want to give each answer the same attention.
Now, on to the giveaway!!
These earrings are a bit of a contradiction – just like the lady who made them (me). 😉
“What on earth are ya talkin’ about, Crystal?”, you ask.
Well, I like things that are big and bold . . . but I also like tiny little details and miniature art.
I love bright, brilliant colors, but then I love pastels, too!
I love festive occasions with family and friends, but I’m also delighted to spend a quiet night at home.
These pretty earrings are “showy” because of their overall length (almost 2 inches), but since they’re made with petite beads and findings, they also have a very “delicate” presence!
I’ve used faceted Czech glass beads in a rich, smokey quartz color, and accented them with tiny vintage Swarovski crystals in a lovely shade of deep golden topaz. The ear wires are 14K gold-plated.

Welcome to my giveaway. This week, I have a very pretty choker-style necklace. 🙂
Sometimes a single bead is so beautiful that it can almost stand on its own. When incorporating it into jewelry, you want to be careful to create a simple backdrop so that the bead can take center stage. That’s how I felt about this exquisite vintage glass bead, which was made in Czechoslovakia.
It’s a mouthwatering shade of sapphire blue with a pastel flash of aurora borealis that takes my breath away. The bead is a bold 14mm in size and because it was machine-cut, the faceting is gorgeous! I decided to make a simple, uncluttered necklace to highlight this vintage bead and I used tiny Sapphire AB glass seed beads with Swarovski crystal accents.
Measurements: 18 inches in length.
