Cindy's Jewelry

I had an order from a very sweet lady, Cindy Holland, for some beads made from flowers that came from her mother's funeral. The petals were dried and were a dark yellow/gold color. I used 2 different types of clay, so some beads are a lighter yellow and some are a darker gold color.



Cindy's daughter, Erin, requested a necklace and bracelet made from the beads. They are combined with pearls. I think they turned out beautiful! I also made a necklace like this one for Erin's cousin Laura.


Erin asked for a bracelet and necklace set for her 17 month old daughter Annabella. Annabella's rose was a dark red shade, so that's why her rose beads are that shade. Hers is also combined with pearls. I hope you girls enjoy your jewelry!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I wanted to take a second and wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving! I love Thanksgiving and am taking this holiday as a time to remember all of my many blessings. I have so much to be thankful for and I know that I need to remember that all of the time.

I am also taking advantage of my 3 days off of school (yaaahhh!) to get caught up on jewelry orders. I am getting behind, so everyone please be patient! Up next will be Cindy Holland's order. Thank you everyone and thanks for being a blessing in my life.

Grace's Bracelet

Tonya Rains had this bracelet made for her daughter, Grace. The rose beads were made from flowers that Grace received when she won the Warren County Little Fairest of the Fair pageant! I went to school with Tonya and remember her being soooo beautiful and winning pageants herself... how sweet for this mother and daughter to carry on the tradition! The rose beads kept the dark red color of the petals and are combined with silver beads and a toggle clasp.
