Delray

Last fall we, my husband and I were able to get away

 to visit 

some friends and family in Florida.

When visiting our dear friends John and Debbie in Delray, 

we took a stroll along the pier.

Where we took home some natural treasures
from the beach.

Among all the shells I saw this one.

It called out to me to pick it up and take it home.

Well, actually Chip picked it up because he 

was on the beach and 

I was still on the pier looking down.

Tonight I decided it was time to make 

something with it.

I also decided  it was a good time to use the 

Green Girl puffer fish.

I guess I'm really longing for the 

warmer days of summer.

These Earrings

were inspired by Erin's dragonfly image.

I was taken by the colors.

So I searched through my stash and created these.

I used:

Misc. Czech glass, Vintaj items, 

crystal rondelles, & round carnelian beads.

Went with a long duster style earring 

to mimic a pair of earrings that are my favorite.

Color of the year ~ Radiant Orchid

Radiant Orchid

Had fun playing with this color and making this necklace and earrings.
