It’s hard to believe how fast time flies!😳This week will mark 10, yes 10 years since we closed the doors on the little bead shop in Occoquan. Many of you have been following this page since those days. Thank you for that! It means so much!🥰

Please share your favorite memories or projects or products from those days. There were so many good ones. 😎
Good vibes please. 🙏

The last 10 years have been full of pivots and redirection, likely for everyone. I hope you all can find the good in each turn. Hugs and best wishes as we start a new decade!😍

Some fresh new earrings coming off the workbench. 🛠️

Not sure where these are headed - maybe or maybe they’ll wait until the Faerie Tea at in July. 🤔

But if you’re looking for the perfect Mothers Day gift check out either location for something stunning. (PS: I’m now at Relics on Tuesdays. 😉)

Have a great week!🥰

This is the sign of progress. 😉 Or maybe of a chaotic mind in overdrive. 🙄 Either way there always seems to be multiple projects on the workbench and in my mind. 🤯

Swipe to see what got finished this week. They’ll be heading w just in time for Saturday’s Vintage Market. 🛍️

Some of the other items are being prepped for the Mathews Faerie Tea at in July. 🧚

Have a fabulous week!🥰

As promised, big rings dropped a last week. 😍 Next up, brooches and more necklaces. Brooches are trending this year, did you know?

Enjoy your week, I’m definitely enjoying the spring flowers in my yard! My darling daughter and I even enjoyed other people’s yards during 🌸
Highly recommend if you get a chance. 🥰

New cuff bracelets and tiny stacking rings heading to this week. 💍🤩 The big rings needed one more layer of resin, darn it! 🫤 So they’ll get restocked next week. 😍

Enjoy this beautiful spring week!🥰

What a beautiful weekend! ☀️I hope everyone had a wonderful time with family and friends. 🥰

This week I’ll be preparing for the craft supply sale at Centenary United Methodist Church. Please stop by for a great selection of craft supplies. This is one of their annual fundraising events.
