…If you do, then you won’t want to miss this give away on Sharon’s blog, Livewire Jewelry. I recently featured Sharon after I found her through my own blog give away. We’ve become instant blogging friends, and I’m proud to support her. Would you believe, in all of her generosity, Sharon is giving away the piece that you’ll find published in the current issue of Bead Trends. “Always Faithful” is a gorgeous necklace that features ceramic by Gaea, Hilltribe silver, jasper beads and original wirework. Please stop by Sharon’s blog for your chance to enter! 🙂

Hello friends
Thank you for starting the week with a visit to sweet bead studio. As promised, I’m focusing on summer-inspired jewelry. Just look at these transparent blue beads (by Moon Stumpp)…now how’s that for ocean blue? You may recognize this bracelet…it’s an oxidized wire bangle made in KAB’s “Sandy Lantern” style!
These next few pieces feature artisan lampwork beads in a classic orange/turquoise color scheme. I’ve paired up beads, and no two are alike. I just love the whimsical details…lots of dots and stripes made from stringer. You can find these pieces in my Etsy shop later in the week.
My little guy turned 9 months old over the weekend. I couldn’t resist sharing a few pictures…look, he’s contemplating the sea at such a young age. As you can see, we went back to the beach!
One of the highlights this weekend was spending the day with some “old” family friends. It’s so rare that we can spend time together (we do live in different states), so getting together was a real treasure.
If you’re just joining me here on this blog, please scroll down and visit my last post. You’ll find an opportunity to Pay It Forward. I’ll be drawing 2 names from the entries on Tuesday night. Looks like we have a great group here ready to play!

All the sharing going on in blog land is sure fun….and I was the recipient of that love recently myself!
Last month my friend Diane Cook held an opportunity to Pay it Forward on her blog, Rosa & Josie’s. I was one of the {lucky} two names drawn to receive her surprise gifts. Just look at the treasures Diane sent…gorgeous sari silk ribbons, a vintage button and locket (oh how did she know?), and best of all her handmade etched earrings.
It’s my turn to Pay it Forward… To participate, please simply leave a comment letting me know you’d like to participate, and I’ll randomly draw two names on Tuesday, July 14th. I will then send each recipient a surprise gift in the mail within the next month. When it’s your turn, all you need to do is link to me in your Pay it Forward post. You can send out whatever you choose as prizes to your recipients….see how we can all share the love?? 🙂 Who wants to play?
