This is me & Stacy.....don't you love the views of the East Bay of Lake Michigan in the background at Brys Estate & Winery.......We have our special "Diva's Uncorked" glasses that they gave us at our first stop and then they added a cute wine charm at each one that we visited ......I am thinking my charms will make an adorable charm necklace for all of us....don't you? I will show a picture of it when it is complete, promise!
This is Stacy wearing our Pink Lemonade necklace isn't it just too cute on her! Course she is adorable and yes I am completely biased, LOL!!
Diva Z was loading up on some of her new favorite's!!! 
2 Lads winery is just fantastic and has hands down the BEST view from a tasting room with beautiful views of Lake Michigan from every angle......they are the newest winery on the peninsula these days and are rapidly becoming known for their sparkling wines and reds! Here is the gang! Diva Kim, Diva Zonda, Diva Stacy & Diva June course we are all wearing some cute new Beach Haus Designs jewelry while we were doing our sampling & food pairings.......honestly there was some amazing food samplings like an artichoke spread that was out of this world from Bower's Harbor Inn ( Ben & I got engaged at this fabulous restaurant)
Kim getting off the phone with her adorable little girls.......She is the owner of Girl Party TuTu's that I have told you about in the past!! Nice to put faces & names together isn't it??? LOL!!
Can't tell we are having a good time , can you???
The 3 Diva's enjoying themselves!!
Chateau Chantal was our last stop for the evening before heading back to the cottage for a beach fire. Chateau Chantal has the best view of a sunset and the whole setting is just beautiful so it was fitting that we ended our Diva's tour here.
The rest of our weekend was spent sitting on the beach, the deck, checking out some great little restaurants ( discovered that I liked baked potato pizza, who knew!) and we got in a little shopping and even went to a Daylily & Iris Farm that Kim fell in love with.......
You know me, we have to do "beachy" designs here & I love our new starfish in black lava stone with turqoise & Swarovski crystals!!!
Blue Italy is so light & airy but the Murano glass twist pendant is so beautiful when you can see the gold & white through the glass.......
Candy Jade, Mother of Pearl, Swarovksi crystal & sterling silver.....simply sweet & beautiful!
I think this necklace hits just the right note of sweet & fun, what do you think?? Again, light & airy but still colorful with all the mother of pearl & swarovski crystals
Course I know you are not surprised at all that I have shells in my collection at all, are you? I love abalone shell and this one is double sides so it doesn't matter which way you wear it, perfect!!!
So I am loving this adorable necklace! Full of color and it just makes me smile looking at it!
White Turquoise is one of my new favorite stones and here it is in a classic, simple yet Fab necklace! Love the sterling & wood pendant, don't you?
One of our new bridesmaid & special occasion designs. Full of pink & hot pink Swarovski crystals....simple yet plenty of sparkle!
Let's do the twist! So a little throwback there for you but isn't this necklace fun! The pendant is Murano glass done in royal, green & red......we added beautiful sterling silver, lapis, turquoise & of course our favorite Swarovski crystals!!! Cool, light, sassy & fun....can you ask more from your necklace?
I have not done as much of our beautiful Beach Glass lately for several reasons but I am happy to say that it is back & here are some of our authentic Lake Michigan beach glass designs......get them while you can as they are all one of a kind & when they are gone....well, you know the drill, their gone!
I love the story behind so many of the colors that you find....cobalt blue beach glass is often from old Noxema jars, Lavender used to be white but during the wars WWI & II they took out a product out of the glass that turned it white that was needed for the war effort and the new chemical over time turned white glass lavender........rare.
There are reds, browns ( old root beer & beer bottles), green (7 -up bottles) and of course white & clear ( soda bottles, etc) I have a fabulous piece of large beach glass that still have the writing on it from the soda bottle, too fun!!!
We have done and are always happy to do custom work for our customers using their own beach glass that they found on a favorite vacation, etc.......contact us at customerservice@beachhausdesigns.com for more information about custom work.
This is one of the place settings right before we sat down to eat an amazing herbed chicken salad! Fabulous!! Little Assistant #1 wanted to skip lunch & go straight to the cupcakes!! No surprise there....LOL!
Hope everyone has a peaceful & inspired Friday!!!
Many Sparkles To You!

This coming weekend is Blossom Days on Old Mission and this past weekend was just a stunning sea of cherry blossoms everywhere you looked! White & Pink flowers everywhere you looked in Old Mission and to think shortly all those little blossoms will be juicy red cherries that we will be buying by the boxes at the cute little roadside stands. I have my favorite stands of course......one has the sweetest little couple that you have ever seen, now have all of our family buying from them and they have the BEST cherries you can find on the peninsula!
