Summer Days

The air is starting to get cool here in New England and while I'm looking forward to the changing leaves and apple picking, I am really going to miss these summer days...

Anklets!

Right around the time that Kashmira announced her first ever blog hop, I was creating a very special custom order for an anklet. I have been waiting for the reveal day and am very excited to show you what I've made!

An old friend of mine (like since second grade old), Mindy, requested I create an anklet for her wedding day!! I started with a delicate heart-shaped chain and some upcycled puff heart charms in sterling silver. I incorporated light gold toned Czech glass to matched the beading on her dress and blue Swarovski crystal bicones for "something blue".

I also created an anklet for one of her bridesmaids and another old friend, Ashley. I used the same heart chain and pretty purple agate beads.

Both looked lovely and so sparkly on the ladies. Mindy had a great wedding day and I wish her and her husband all the best in the world!

The unOffical start to Summer!

I hope everyone had an amazing Memorial Day weekend! Even with having to dodge a few rain storms, mine was a blast! I visited a farmers market, listened to some live music and then hit the shore for some beach combing. It was a perfect way to start the summer season!

Summer should get a speeding ticket

  Flip flops!

Sunset over Groton

 Wild blueberry picking!

I'm sad to see summer go, but can't wait for pumpkins and beautiful leaves!  I've even pulled out some beads in colors and tones that remind me of Fall.
