Waterford Beach, CT
This holiday weekend was a hot and humid one! I did make it out to the
beach one day, but then decided I'd rather sit in front of the fan,
create jewelry and stay cool :)

Bead Table
Some new things on my bead table! A turquoise pendant that was a gift from Sandy of Creative Chaos (Thank you!) and a few other things I picked up from a small local shop called Thistle Beads.

Flea Market and Mother's Day
Sunday was a beautiful day, so I took a drive up to a local flea market. Then I had dinner with Mom before heading home for a relaxing night of reading The Hunger Games.
A booth full on buttons!
Some of the buttons I took home.
Other little treasures I found.
How I ended my weekend :)

My crayon is red
When I signed up for Sally Russick's One Crayon Color Challenge over at The Studio Sublime I wanted to give myself a bit of a challenge and use a color that I don't design with very often. I probably should have thought this through a bit more, because I really didn't have much to work with. Oops!
Because the color red often symbolizes passion, love, anger and energy. I wanted to create earrings with lots of movement and a bit of spice! I used copper headpins with red drops at the end and spiraled those around red glass beads that hang from copper hooks.
I imagine pairing these earrings with an outfit like Sarah from Pandora's Box is wearing is the above photo. She has an amazing sense of style and I love the red pants!
