Happy Thursday

Thursday, already! Whew too much to do and never enough time to do it all.....
my wonderful parents are due in today from down south
so the little assistants are beyond excited (me too, to be honest!!)

Ok, so on to the main attraction.....what's new, you ask??? A couple of things....Well, other than getting lots of exclusive goodies ready for our upcoming shows in St Petersburg, Florida in October and Occoquan, VA at the end of September we have been working on the new June Beach Collection catalog for our wonderful wholesale customers, the new ad for Southern Lady Magazine and much more.......YIPPEE! ( I will show you some of those sneek peeks next week, promise!)
This necklace is fun yet a good reminder for all of us not to forget our dreams...don't you agree???? I love the turquoise, sterling silver & swarovski crystals.This is swirly girl! A personal favorite of mine ( yes, I really do have my absolute fav's out of the collection) This necklace is a bit longer than the usual 18", handblown glass bead makes it one of a kind and I love the cool swirly sort of organic shaped sterling drop. What do you think????This is our Out of the Blue necklace, cool blue tuquoise, blue jade, sterling silver & Swarovski crystals.....simple, classic yet totally fun and blue!

Till later! Have a Sparkling Day!

Bridal Jewelry

One of the things that we do at Beach Haus Designs is bridal & bridal party jewelry! Course we do it in custom colors as well as styles.....so thought I would share some jewelry with you just to get the thinking cap on especially since these pieces although in the Bridal category are not just for special occasions but perfect for everyday wear, so don't be afraid to grab one for yourself!

Some of our new designs shown here are in fall colors but any of these could easily be converted into other color options ( all pink, all black, all crystal, all green, mix of pastels, mix brights, so on & on but you get the pictures) and of course the necklaces & earrings are perfect for all of the other outfits in your closet not just the bridesmaid dress!, LOL!!!I have these earrings already in several colors ( pink, crystal, green, black, champagne, etc) as I love how they just dangle down, swing a bit, sparkle through my hair & brighten my face with the Swarovski crystals........these should be a staple in everyone's accessory wardrobe, seriously!
The chain on this necklace is just quietly beautiful.........perfect for a more conservative look. Can you picture this one in all black or all black & crystal for a fantastic black & white look...?
This is our Christy style, just imagine it in all pink crystal or black or green, or blue or frankly any combination that you could think of, LOL!!! Adorable, love the tassle, don't you?Cute earrings perfect for any outfit!This is our Trixie necklace, three strands, full of Swarovski crystals and faceted ruby red jade.....just love it! Can totally see it with a great pair of jeans & a tank or with that fabulous new suit for the office.......stunning & stylish, don't you think??This beauty is Michelle....classic, elegant with just enough sass not to be boring.....again, full of sparkle which is exactly what I love to add to all of our designs!

Bay Harbor

It was a fabulous weekend & just beautiful weather although we did get a little rain on Friday but that turned out to be ok too...... Great artists, show by shores of Lake Michigan and an adorable village......not bad right? Right! We had a great time as usual and it is always wonderful to see our customers that have been wearing Beach Haus Designs jewelry for years now.
Just a couple of photos from the booth........it was a bit windy due to being near the water .
Sorry to have not posted much lately but with vacation and working on lots of new pieces I will have tons to show you shortly!!! Hang in there with me.....promise, lots of goodies to come!!!

We are also getting ready to head to Virginia for the show in Occoquan in September then we are off to Florida in October for Angels After Dark..........going to be a busy busy fall again.

Sparkles!

New Beach Glass

As we all know the big buzzword these days is "Green" & here are Beach Haus Designs we try to do our part too with recycling packaging, beads ( I LOVE anything vintage & have been collecting vintage jewelry & accessories since I was 10 years old!), chains, etc.....sometimes I get so attached to certain pieces that I really feel this need for the piece to get a home with someone who will treasure the jewelry & components in it as much as I do.

Well, one of the other things we do here and is one of our founding designs is our beautiful one of a kind, authentic Beach Glass ( course some people refer to it as Sea Glass as well but being that we are Beach Haus Designs we stick with Beach Glass, LOL).
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.

Many of our Beach Haus Designs brides have used beach glass in their bridal jewelry for their beach weddings in bracelets, anklets & necklaces! What a great one of a kind gift to give to those who stand up in your wedding.

So here is to a green world!
Check out our Beach Glass Jewelry and snag a piece while you can!

Happy Birthday!

Sorry it has taken me a bit to post here.....but well not only were we celebrating the 4th of July but my birthday was the 5th! SO lots happening here & I will be sharing quite a bit in the next few posts as well......Little Assistant #1 & I ran our first 2k race on the 4th. What fun it was to share that with her plus I think it has inspired me to get training for a 5k race of my own in the near future. Funny how little things like that can just get you moving in a new direction, isn't it???Here is the starting line...quite a few people gathered for race day! We were just happy not to finish last!!!! YIPPEE! There was a 20K, 10K, 5K & the 2K that were run that day in Frankenmuth for the Volkslaufe.

My parents were in from the south for a week long visit & Little Assistant #2 who was clapping on the sidelines as we header toward our big finish!!!

What a great way to spend a holiday and a good start to a birthday........

Hope everyone has lots of sparklers and fireworks

Red, White & Blue sparkles to everyone!!!

The Girls Are Back

Well, after a nice wonderful weekend full of laughs, sun and much Diva'ing....we are back to our real lives. What a fun time my girlfriends& I had.......I couldn't have asked for three better friends to have spent a beautiful girls weekend with!

I love this little winery......Peninsula Cellars. Their tasting room used to be an old school house and then it was an art studio of some friends of DH's family before becoming part of the winery......they even use chalkboards inside to write "I will not drink bad wine", awards, promotions, etc.....so cute!

This is Diva S 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 K, Diva Z, Diva S & Diva J 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???


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 Diva K fell in love with.......

All in all it was fabulous, relaxing & just what we all needed and now we are looking forward to our next adventure in the fall as well as doing "Diva's Uncorked" on Old Mission again next year!

Sparkling Cheers To Everyone!!!
