The great (and creative) t!

My wonderful friend t has made me some beautiful jewelry pieces! I had the vintage black glass beads that I wanted re-worked. I met her at the Gem Faire last fall to hang out and look at pretties but ended up falling for the copper colored pearls! I bought them and sent the lot home with her. The above photographs are the result of her handiwork. She makes such wonderful pieces! I am excited to wear some this weekend at my dad's milestone birthday bash.

Please support someone in their creativity and check out her shop on Etsy and friend her on Facebook. Not only does she make wonderful jewelery she is a great friend. Kisses t!

Who knew beads could be so cool

Even though I'm still not feeling well I went with t to the Gem Faire at the Convention Center. I was interested to learn more about why and how t chooses the beads and decides what to make with them. She was surprised at my interest in the process. She said no one had ever inquired about her process before. I enjoyed my time at the show and even gave her a project! I took a necklace of vintage black glass beads with me. I love the beads but the necklace is too long and old fashion. I brought them with me and showed it to t asking if she could do something with it. In one of the booths I found some varied copper colored pearls in unusual shapes. The string of 30ish pearls was on sale for $7. t thinks they will be fabulous together! She is going to make a necklace and possibly a fitted bracelet to match! Very cool. I don't often get a chance to hang with t except for skating on Wednesdays. I love to see Mr.t and Master t but it is fun to do girly stuff - no boys allowed.

t (aka Tabitha or t'Betcha) makes wonderful jewelry she sells on Etsy. She is part of a Cyber Monday BOGO sale with some other Etsy sellers on November 29th. (If you buy something tell I sent ya) I have marked a few of her pieces as favorites that I would like to get myself.

I will post photos as soon as t sends them to me. I sent the necklace and pearls home with her.
