Sunday Creations

I was very busy today. I needed to catch up on repairs today, so those of you who have jewelry with me you will be getting it back...finally. Actually, it is always fun to give people back there jewelry as good as new. They are so excited to have there favorite piece back.

So, I went to a local bead fair this weekend. I went because I needed a couple specific things I have not been able to find online. Not only did I get some Thai Silver for the silk ribbon bracelets

I been making, but I was drawn to some beautiful gem stones. The gem stones took me back to my early days of beading. When I thought about it...I 've been making jewelry for almost 20 years. I remember going to some of my first bead stores in Chicago.

I was inspired to make some simple gem stone and silver necklaces. They are very casual and are great for everyday and they also goes great with active wear.

I will be working on getting then on my etsy site later tonight or tomorrow.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

I have been work on several different things this week. I made this really cool bracelet from buttons that I got from a crafter over the past weekend. Knitting during downtime. I have also been working on a long triple strand vintage necklace. Hopefully I can post it later this week. I have been using more and more vintaj supplies in my designs. I love the warm brass. Check out their website and blog at http://vintaj.com.

There are so many creative people out there...I hope you consider buying handmade when you do your christmas shopping. Get a cup of tea and cuddle up on your couch with your computer and SHOP. No need to fight the crowds. Of course check out my jewelry at http://bwillydesigns.etsy.com and search other treats such as: hand knitted scarves instead of buy the mass produced ones at the mall from other sellers on etsy.
