Ok, I admit it.  My favourites change regularly.  But right now I am loving my Captiva earrings.  Yesterday, I talked about my hair cut experience.  You can see I put on my go to earrings, both before and after the event.  

I love that they are simple and light.  I love that they have movement and are dangly.  

I love that they catch the light and can go from day to evening (if we were doing that right now...).  If you love them too, head on over to my shop and get yourself a pair!

The Ballenas necklace is my take on the classic necklace.

Of course, being an artisan jeweller, it is not all matchy matchy. 

The bronze beads are my hand carved coral reef ones, in three different sizes, giving the piece an oceany organic feel.  Yet it is graceful and elegant at the same time.  You can get your own Ballenas necklace in my store.

That title is right up there with "She sells seashells".  But it's what I did recently when the weather was hot last weekend.  

I like to look for the treasure on the beach.  Sometimes all I find is parts of shells.  

This time, when I was just about at the end, I found a small mermaid tear of green sea glass.  Makes it all worthwhile for me.

Our weather on the weekend was very warm, especially for this time of year.  

It really was time to hit the beach and hang out.  

And photograph a few of my favourite pieces:  Dominica and Ballenas necklaces. I featured Dominica in yesterday's post.

Dominica has become my new favourite necklace.  

I love how it is organic and reflects the coral reefs that inspired the beads.

And I love how it makes a bold statement.  You could say it is Elegant, yet Audacious!  

You can find Dominica in my store.

My hair is about four weeks past it's "best before" date.  My stylist cuts it well, but it is quite long for me right now.  

Testing out some scarves:  First, was the gypsy look...

 Next:  Rock on with leopard print!

Bring out the bobby socks...(although I kinda like this one)!

Or go full incognito with cap and sunglasses. Think anyone will know it's me????

PS:  All jewelry is from my latest release, which you can see here.  If you want to be first to shop the next release, then sign up with your email below.  

I love to put more than one bead together in my creations, making stacks of beads.  Here there are two in the Petite Martinique necklace, which you can pair with the single mini bead Icaria earring. 

I like the necklace with the Marquesas earring, which is also two of my coral reef beads stacked together.  

Make my creations into your own style!

The Cayo Coco Necklace is versatile, and like all my coral reef bead jewelry, it can be paired with various earrings.  Like these double drop ones, called Catalina that were also released last week.  

Or Captiva, my new single drop mini bead earring.

Or even my Minoan earrings.  

All of these are part of my Isles Collection of hand carved coral reef bead creations.  If you want to know when I release new pieces, sign up to my email list below.

I have been calling this design "dangles", because the chain dangles from the bottom of the bead.  

My beads and designs are versatile; very easy to mix and match, depending on your mood.  

The "dangles" family has both a necklace and an earring that are one bead with a chain dangling.

Or one bead dangling below another bead.  

You can find all of the dangles (with their real names) in my shop with the other pieces of my latest release.

One of the things I like to do to relax is to read books.  

I visited the Little Free libraries in the neighbourhood again and traded 3 books.  The bottom two are my usual mystery / thriller genre. 

But the top one had all the colours of the ocean and beach, so I figured it was meant to be!  I'll let you know how it is. 

PSST:  The necklaces are now in my store.

Today, you get to meet some of my stacked bead creations in action.  The horizontal stack necklace is called Petite Martinique.

The earrings are called Marquesas.  You can see a wee bit of movement in the beads.
