Art On Main, Hendersonville, NC

Snell Design will be in the NC mountains this weekend. I can't wait! I am showing my fishes this morning because with all this rain, we may have to do a little swimming. No complaints though, how wonderful to go to bed hearing the rain and wake to it too!

Anniversary Necklace

Heather made my day when she wrote and told me how much she liked her starfish and pearl necklace...(see post on March 31, 2010).
"Thank you so much for making the most beautiful gift for me!  I absolutely love the necklace!  I hope you don't mind that I posted the photo on Facebook so everyone can see your work!  I am so thankful my husband comes to you for my gifts... I can always count on something extrordinary!!!Love, Heather"

Spring Rings!

Tom made a couple of pretty rings last night with my beads. 
He can be quite handy with some wire. I am trying my hand 
at some Easter Egg beads today.

Little River Show This Weekend!

The Wedding Show at Little River is reschedule for this Sunday, February 7, 2010

I mailed these earrings yesterday to Pamela Bivens...she hopes to wear them on her wedding day. These are sterling silver wire balls with freshwater pearls and Swarovski crystals. I have to give Pam credit for the design. She liked the wire beads and wondered how they would look with pearls. I also made a pair with larger wire beads. I can't wait to see what she thinks when she gets them. Pam has inspired me to make similar earrings for an upcoming wedding show (January 31, 2010 @ Little River Golf and Resort in Carthage, NC). Thanks Pam!

Tom and I went to the Intergalactic Bead Show in Durham on Saturday. (Thanks Caren for the reminder.) It was a great way to spend my birthday and Tom even treated me to a bracelet making class. Thanks to Linda Minor, Tom and I learned to make a "Pinch & Twist" Bracelet. It was a fun class and it is always great to learn a new skill...

Happy New Year Again!


Hope you are enjoying this cold new year. Tom and I ventured out on New Year's Eve to a great party (thanks Colleen and Charles) and took one last photo of the year.We are getting a snow forecast for this Thursday so I thought adding snow seemed fitting, thanks to Shabby Blogs and Ken Griggs. But if you know NC snow predictions, you also know this might be the only snow you see!
