Colours to make you feel warm....

I'll admit, as I get older I feel the cold more and dull days are just not my thing!  So when I saw these teardrop beads in these gorgeous colours, I had to have them!  So after the pain of paying for postage from the United States and customs fees, I finally got my hands on them.  I just love the warmth of these colours, they make me think of Spring, Summer, peaches and real strawberry ice cream =)

So I've wrapped them with sterling silver wire and made them into earrings, will be making matching pendants.  These are perfect as Mothers Day gift or if like me you love some colour, treat yourself!

You can find these beauties in my etsy shop, just click here!

Enjoy!

Happy New Year January Sale!.....

I've decided to have a January sale this year with 15% off everything in my Easy shop!  I'll be adding more lovely jewellery to the shop throughout the month in the run up to Valentines Day, so it's the perfect time to treat yourself or someone special =)

Already tempted this year, I've treated myself to some lovely new jewellery findings. With my 20+ years worth of beads to sort through this month, you can expect to see some eye candy on here.  Planing to do more research on apps that can help me with my business, it's time to get focussed!

Sale ends 31st January 11pm London time (I'm using easy on sale to run it), to view click here =) 

Wishing you all a wonderful happy and healthy new year =)

It's almost Christmas!.....

And another year seems to of zoomed by!  Looking forward to the New Year as my youngest child will be starting nursery full time, which means no more 3 hours of school runs....Yes 3 hours!  So hopefully I will have more time to blog, be creative, take photo's and work on my business =)

The Christmas holiday is always a busy time of year.  I have a few gifts to make and lots of cooking to do and plan to dance as much as possible, so I don't have to watch how many mince pies I eat!  The smell of mulled wine is becoming quite common in my home and the Christmas tree is up with all it's lights twinkling =)

If you're still in need of some gifts, you can find my Christmas delivery dates in my Etsy shop announcement, click here! 

As you can see I've started making glass teardrop pendants.  I'm totally in love with being able to change the pendant on my own necklace to suit what I'm wearing and these match the earrings that I make.  The pendant is £6 and with a sterling silver chain £10-11.  I've had some happy customers already that have bought these as a gift or for themselves =)

Well until I next blog, thank you for visiting and I hope you have a lovely festive holiday!

Happy International Women's Day!...

Happy International Women's Day!  In fact Happy New Year as well, hehe.  I realize that I haven't blogged since last year, I'm sorry, I promise to be good and blog regularly from now on!

So it's International Women's Day today and there are some amazingly talented crafty women on Etsy, so I've decided to create a treasury to share some of their work with you =)

Just Add Some Sparkle....

I love colour!  In my possession I have a 18k white and yellow gold chain necklace, that I bought in Venezuela the last time I was there (which was too long ago) and I've made different gemstone pendants to fit onto it to suit my mood or what I am wearing.

Having the different pendants to choose from is wonderful, each one is different, with it's own style and energy, I can't stress enough how handy they are and how much I love them!  My favorite pendants are a beautiful Pink Sapphire heart cut briolette, a Oro Verde Quartz shield cut briolette (like the one shown in the picture below) and now a tiny dainty Lapis Lazuli onion cut briolette which I wire wrapped with goldfilled wire.

One by one I'll be adding these beauties to my etsy shop and resisting keeping them for myself ; )

And now on Instagram...

I already tweet like a little bird on Twitter as @silverblossom8.  Blog here (must blog more often).  Have a page somewhere on Facebook and now I've started to use Instagram, which I'm finding quite fun and easy to use.  As I mainly sell my lovelies via my Etsy online shop it makes sense for me to use social media to let people know what I do, but it's also nice to share other things I find of interest and give people a little glimpse of my world (not including dirty dishes, I don't even want to see those).

So if your on Instagram you can find me here =) https://instagram.com/blossomingsilver/

Enjoy!
