Living out loud in the Carolinas

I’m so excited! Yesterday after working some overtime my friend Jade and I went to this little bead store in Rock Hill, SC called Peacock Beads. The lady working there, Emily, was so very nice and showed us what to use and what to do. We spent our first hour or so just looking at all the beads (so many! so pretty! and you know I’m easily distracted by shiny things). Then we got to work. It was really easy once I got the hang of it. I made 3 pair of earrings and 1 bracelet. I’m not as fancy as Hovey yet, but I’m really proud of what I made. And now I know what all the ladies I know are getting for gifts this year!! I have a lot to learn so I’m certainly no competition for Crystal Charm! Plus, this is just for fun, not a business. Ok, here are the pictures. First we have a cute red pair of earrings (I don’t have funky names for them- it’s early in my jewelry career. ha!) Click HERE for a close up. Next are some sweet crackly, icy blue earrings: . Click HERE for a close up. These are my fun disco cube earrings: Click HERE for a close up. And finally, my bracelet. I feel so fancy! Click HERE for a close up. I wish they were open today because I’d go right back! It was so fun, I just wish there were more bead stores here. I’ve got all these ideas in my head and can’t wait to make more stuff!
