Lots of Goodies From Tucson

So Tucson was warm, sunny, the resort that we always stay at & love was under renovations so I am sure it will be fabulous again on our next trip out .....

However, despite all of that I did find lots of goodies that I can't wait to turn into something fabulous for the Beach Haus Designs line & the new June Beach Collection!!!



GLW was great & huge as usual. Manning House had a couple of booths that I just drooled over & bought some wonderful artisan pieces. Love helping to support other artist especially when they have such beautiful designs & quality.......AGTA of course is fabulous! My better pearl supplier there had some of the most amazing pearls......my favorite this year is without a doubt the chocolate pearls. Ben thought I was just dreaming about chocolate until he saw them and agreed that they were fabulous! Course the prices on them were something too, LOL!!!! I have a couple of thoughts on what I am going to mix them with...........

Ok so back to some of the other goodies I found........lots of black coral in fun shapes, some interesting crystals that I got a smattering of (those of you who know me well, know I have a love affair with Swarovski so this was a big deal to buy these). They look MUCH better in person than they are showing up in my quick pics.......isn't that always the case though!
Also found some great new agate, new fun colors of turquoise that I am SO excited about I can't stand it and of course mother of pearl which I love in every shape, size, color, etc...........

Overall, a good trip. Checked out a few new shows that I had never been too and course my good ole standby. Just wish I could have made it to Swarovski's in time but due to a little birthday that we had the day before it wasn't possible this year.....maybe next year. Beadalon had some new really cool products that I am anxious to try as well as some cool enameled toggles that are too cool for words........

Starting looking for lots of new goodies to start showing up at the shows, stores & website soon as I get busy in the studio with all the other wonderful things that I found at the show that I am not showing you yet!!!!

Have a great day

Sparkles!

Girl Party & TuTu Heaven

Ok, so I will post shortly about all the goodies that I found in Tucson as well as many others things including my littlest assistant's first birthday!!
But.....I have to toot the horn of a dear friend that I adore that has started her new business creating adorable tutu's.


Kim is well, I am happy to say just fabulous designing gal! She is funny, smart and the mom of two adorable little girls who happily are close in age to my two little assistants so they get together & have what they call Girl Parties with lots of giggles & twirls thrown in for good measure! Hence, Girl Party Tutu's!


My oldest daughter LOVES these tutu's and has been more than pleased to be a guinea pig for Kim's wonderful fluffy tutu's.........The cutie above is her #2 assistant!!! Adorable isn't she? Course I am totally biased! You should see 4 little girls all in fluffy tutu's tearing through the studio.......too cute for words!
If you are looking for some fun dress up tutu's for your sweetie or have a prima ballerina then check out Girl Party Tutu's at http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5609421. Kim is happy to do custom orders & ships everywhere! Doesn't get much better than that does it? I have no doubt that you won't be disappointed!

First Days of Skiing...

So a bit of personal fun....Lauren learned to ski this past weekend! YIPPEEE....you see this is huge for a southern girl like myself. Since we didn't have snow and didn't really make trips out to Colorado during the winter months ( my mom is not big on the cold at all, actually my dad too, LOL!) so none of the three girls in my family ever learned. I took my first ski lesson in my 20's and I can tell you that I was terrified learning how to snow plow down the hills of Colorado although I have to admit I sorta of liked it despite being scared silly!!!!

So move forward now and I am determined that my two little assistants will both learn to ski so that they will love it and be able to enjoy winter so much more......course it doesn't help that we are driving distance to quite a few ski resorts!

Not sure who OOOh'd & Awwwww'd the most...me or Ben but we certainly did our share of taking pictures of our snow bunny getting on the lifts and coming down the bunny hill. We signed her up for a lesson & then found out that they don't want the parents anywhere near so that the child can focus and learn with the instructor. Smart move!!!!

It was lightly snowing and was just beautiful......Sydney loved playing in the snow for the first time. Such a good day!

Sparkling Snowflakes to you!

Hearts for Everyone!

Ok, so I am already in the mood for Valentines Day! I know, I know.....it is a voting day, a snowy day (cold one too, especially for this southern gal, LOL), a work day, etc.....but at least in the studio I have been able to indulge in some warmth, wonderful coffee and some time to work on some amazing one of a kind pieces that are truly made with love.
Love this necklace called Oh Cameo! Full of Copper, Hematite & lots of sparkling Swarovski crystals. This necklace is for the romantic in all of us......


This is one of my favorites!!! A handblown glass hear in black with white polka dots, beautiful pink roses and green leaves. We then set it off with black onyx & pink & green swarovski crystals......Perfect for that extra special person in your life!

Aren't these just some fun sterling heart earrings for that gal that likes her hearts just a little more artsy.........All sterling silver, freshwater pearls and sparkling swarovski crystals.....LOVE!!!

I am just in love with this lovely set. The handblown glass heart & beads are in a beautiful periwinkle and have an airy look when you see it in person, then add the sweet blue & pink little roses with green leaves. We have combined it with periwinkle & pink freshwater pearls and of course, Swarovski crystals!


Just had to throw in this lovely necklace for all of my beach lovers! Fabulous smoky quartz, Swarovski crystals and a beautiful shell pendant. You will love this necklace!!!

Well, done in the studio for the day, adding lots of goodies to the website today so that everyone can get a jump on their Valentines Day & spring shopping and get first pick on our one of a kind pieces!

Hope you have a sparkling day!
