For the holidays, I've listed sets of bangles at a bit of a reduction over single bangles prices.

Set of 3 bangles $38  Set of 5 bangles $64

Welcome Weekend

The last month has been crazy with travel, work and a new puppy.  I am looking forward to a weekend with no demands. 

 I plan to sit on the deck, read magazines and drink iced tea.  

I just added this pearl pendant to my Etsy shop.

Next week I need to get back to my jewelry studio but in the meantime, I need to rest and recharge.

What are your weekend plans?

Welcome Weekend

Wow, I've had a busy week and I welcome the weekend.

I've been busy filling orders from my Etsy shop.  

Halo Bangle

I added this bangle a week ago.

I began teaching a series of cooking lessons to a single, mature gent.

Similar to the chairs I ordered from Target

I've been coordinating a shipment for our Bahamas house.  The sun and saltwater have ruined our outdoor furniture.  I'm trying  Polywood  chaise lounges.  Polywood is 100% recycled material and has a 25 year guaranty. Anyone have experience with that material?  I'd love to know.  

Happy Mother's Day Mom!!

and Happy Mother's Day to all the dear moms reading this.

Have a lovely weekend everyone

Bracelets for Mothers Day

Almost Mothers Day

Here are some suggestions

Loop-Hooked Bangle

The hook detail is not a clasp but fixed.

Loop to Loop Bangle

Wear the bangles alone or with a collection.

These bangles would make nice graduations gifts as well.

Color Blocking: Bangles

Color blocking is a big trend this spring.  Not wimpy, muted shades but bold brights and unexpected combinations are what makes it a fresh style.

These are examples from InStyle March 2011

Color block accessories from InStyle

While I don't normally work with beads, I couldn't resist using color.

A variation of my hammered silver bangles, embellished with glass beads.

These colors may loose some of their bold color in the photo but they are bright hues.

The bangles are available in my Etsy shop.  Click here to be taken to the shop.

My dear followers, I hope you have lovely plans for the weekend.  We will be attending the first Antique Market of the season on Saturday.  I'll be sure to fill you in on any spectacular finds.  We also have some invitations from friends for Friday and Saturday evenings.  Enjoy and relax.  XXOO

Weekend Plans

I'm ready for the weekend.  

I hope to see The King's Speech and meet up with some friends for dinner.  There is snow in the forecast so I foresee making some comfort food, maybe in the form of Osso Buco.  

I'm adding some Valentine pendants to my Etsy shop.  

Free-form silver heart.

Silver heart, wire-wrapped with seed pearls.

What do you have planned for the weekend?

Relax and enjoy and see you Monday.
