Bead Soup Party - The Stash

I have been a bit behind in my posting ..... Being away at Art & Soul for four days and then trying to get caught up with work, kids and house it has taken me a couple of weeks! Anyway here is the lovelies that I rec'd from my soup mate Patti Clark of PJ Clark Designs.

Below is what I sent to her. I was really feeling the mood for summer and the beach when I put these together. We had to send a focal and coordinating beads and a nice clasp to our soup mates.



Hope everyone is having a great June 1st!!

I Have Learned Something New!!

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there. One day left to take advantage of 30% off on the website Sissy & Jack's. My husband just taught me to bury the link in my name!!

Yay for me! If you follow me you know that I am computer challenged. Happy Mother's Day to me. As he says what do you give someone that makes their own jewelry?!

Bottle Tag

Have you ever taken a bottle of wine or liquor to a party and at the end of the evening there are six of the same bottle? Well wonder no more! This hand forged Copper Tag will do the trick (unless someone has the same name as you!).

This also makes a great wedding or groomsman gift!
