The Perfect Gift for the Thanksgiving Hostess

Well, they are calling for our first snow flurries of the season today & tomorrow.......UGH! Being a southern gal I still can't quite get used to hearing the word snow especially before Halloween & Thanksgiving, not that it will stick to the ground or anything like that but still!

So I figured today was a good day to introduce you to Beach Haus Designs new Polka Dot snowman necklacefor the holiday season....I love them, they are SO cute, adorable & best of all girly! The only problem is picking which color you like best!
Here is our Polka Dot Snowmen necklaces in Green, Red, Blue, Black & Pink......take your pick!! They are sure to cheer you up on even the grayest of winter days although for those that live in warmer climates, they also look adorable with all of those cute Lilly clothes in your wardrobe!

Full of handblown glass, freshwater pearls, sparkling Swarovski crystals, gemstones and sterling silver.....you will love this little snowman!

Here's a great thought.......................What a perfect gift to take to Thanksgiving dinner for your hostess with the mostess! She will be thrilled that you gave her such a sweet gift to carry her into the next season.........course you will still need one for yourself too, don't you think??? LOL!!

Snowy Sparkles to you

Girlfriends & New Beach Friend Links

This weekend is going to be a bit of a re-charge as I am heading UpNorth with some girlfriends for a fun girls weekend! YIPPEE! Don't you think we all need one of those? A think a bit of re-charge is in order.....just think of all of the new creative ideas that will be popping out, at least that is hope, right? LOL!

But first I want to leave you with a few new things as well as a couple of links.....

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

This is a bit of a fall preview so don't get too excited yet.........but I love this necklace full of Smoky quartz crystal pendant, handblown glass, 14ktgf, and vintage carnellian....striking & beautiful!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 going to start spotlighting on our blog once a week some of
the Beachy Links & Friends that I love so here we go........

I am also very excited to say a dear friend is about to be a grandmother.......Lidy at FrenchGardenHouse!! Congrats! She is in for more fun than she can even begin to imagine. Check out her shop she has beautiful sparkly crowns, gifts and more beautiful things than I can mention here.....

Also, check out Girl Party Tutus for the cutest tutu's for your little one......I just gave one to a friend of mine for her newborn for some adorable baby pictures!

If you are in the market for some fabulous tea you must check out Dori at Island Tea House! She has the yummiest tea and I just love reading the descriptions alone.....
