Hello friends
What a busy week! School started for us this week…which means my middle son started Kindergarten! We’ve made it through 2 days of our new routine which involves a long commute to the new school. Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday. For the long weekend we are heading to the beach again… I’m crossing my fingers that the traffic won’t be too bad (but who am I kidding).
To kick off the holiday weekend, please visit the shop for a special 10% savings (through September 13th). This is my Good Bye summer sale…you know I’m really sad to see it go. I hope everyone has a fun and safe weekend ahead. Drop me a line and let me know how you’ll be spending these last days of summer.

Remember that hand full of wire links that I pictured a few days ago? They were just the tip of the ice berg. 🙂 Here’s what happens when you keep on working with your favorite “medium”: a super long necklace that just doesn’t stop! This earth-toned piece was created with Fall in mind. At 33″ in length, this stunning (if I do say so myself) necklace will slip easily over your neck and can be worn with just about anything. You’ll find 10 gorgeous lampwork beads by Kim Typanski in shades of ivory, khaki, brown and a bit of rust. The true labor of love (I can’t really say labor because this was actually the fun part) was creating each and every wire link. Horseshoe links, caged beads and spirals, they’re in the mix. This necklace will be a real attention-getter, after all, it’s nearly 3 feet in length and full of one-of-a-kind beads and links.

I am very aware that this is the last Wednesday of summer vacation around here. Exactly one week from today the kids will start in their new school. This summer has gone by way too fast. I wanted today to be a no-running-around-day, just staying home and having fun. The weather was overcast so I didn’t feel bad about not being out and about. We decided to paint little treasure boxes. We set up an outdoor studio and went to work painting. Once we were finished we came inside to do some creating in the kitchen. It’s been way too long since we baked chocolate chip cookies…Toll House cookies were next on the agenda.
On the bead scene, I’ve been working here and there on a fun piece of jewelry. There will be many different components involved, a real conversation piece. I’m posting a sneak peak for you here.
