Beaded Charm Necklace

Published on by YvetteLeave a comment

I am so lucky to have such fabulous friends.  Even though most of them are far away, they are always in my heart.  My friend MC (two initials, because I also have close friends MB, MP, and MJ) has been one of my greatest business supporters over the last year.  I’m pretty sure she owns at least one of each item I make.

One Leap Day she took advantage of my 29% off coupon and picked up a cute wristlet from my shop.  I wanted to do a little something for her as a special thank you, so I created a little beaded charm necklace with her in mind.

I love the combination of the aqua beads with the copper chain.

I was thrilled when the beautiful MC emailed to tell me that she LOVED her little gift!  I means so much to me to be able to create something special for the wonderful people in my life.

Lemon-Lime

Yesterday my daughter had her spring portraits at school. She’s pretty adventurous with her wardrobe (although you wouldn’t know it since moving to VA—the kid lives in sweatshirts and skinny jeans!)  But, we are both yearning for warmer temperatures, so we decided to conjure up some spring with a lemon-lime inspired outfit.

Guess what?!  It worked!  We got a high of 73!  (Let’s not discuss the pending flurries on Monday!)

I must confess, the Polyvore set came AFTER we put together the actual outfit, but it was such a cute combination of colors, I think anyone can pull it off this spring!

I used a left over bead from Turquoise and Coral for her necklace and set it on a copper colored chain.

Unfortunately it’s back down in 50s again today and all that up and down has gotten the best of us.  The kiddos (and mommy) are under the weather today and staying home from school.
