Gorgeous Reds....

 I love red, can you tell?  It's been my favorite colour for over 20 years, although I now also have other favorite colours/ shades, the rich reds have a special je ne sais quoi for me.  It's just such a gorgeous colour!

 So here are some gorgeous red earrings that I've just added to my shop for your viewing pleasure.  I set my self the goal of having 200 listings in my shop by Christmas, so I'll be busy playing, I mean busy working with my beads, taking photo's and writing the listings (go and have a read of the listings they can take ages to write).

 I'm forever adding new colours/ shades to the glass teardrop earring range, they are great, but in the coming months I'll be adding more Artisan lampwork beads and gem stone jewellery as well.

 These crimson lampwork beauties reminded me a bit of glace cherries, I loved cheery loaf cake as a child, it was my job to cut the glace cherries into quaters.  The Silver beads I've used for these earrings are Karen Hill Tribe and fair trade =)

Well time to get back to the wire wrapping, so until next time keep well =)

It's Treasure-Thon Time Again......

And here's one I made earlier =)  I just love these colours! If I was thinking about semi precious stones it would be olden rutilated quartz and imperial topaz.

I created this treasury for the 14th Craft Britannia Treasure-Thon which is taking place today.

I love love love these colours and the contrast!  This treasury was created to feature some of my talented team members from Craft Britannia and some other gorgeous finds!  From beautiful pottery to crochet flower hair clips, search for teamcb on Etsy to find a wide variety of goodies =)

The mint green bug dress is one of my favorites and is an example of the kind of original clothing you can find on Etsy.

A wee taste of Scotland..

Today's Crafty Folk Team's Red Hot 100+ winner was Miss Winnie Makes, the chosen item her gorgeous Tartan boudoir pillow cushion.  Now I bet that you would of never guessed by my name that I'm Scottish.  Well I was born in Scotland and that's where my mothers half of the family are from.  In my ancestry are surnames like Davidson, Sinclair and Wood, I wonder if I'm related to the Wood in Harry Potter ;) 

Well with that said I went with a Scottish theme for todays treasury and went searching through Etsy for finds that would complement the beautiful colours in Miss Winnie's wonderful cushion.  I have to say there was a lack of photographs with Scottish heather, but I think you'll agree that the Bruyere heather photo is beautiful.  The Scottish highlands water colour brings a smile to my face, as do so many of the other items in this treasury.  I was happy to find the oatmeal spurtle, but I remember my mother using an old one to stir the nappies in our old top opening washing machine!
