Earring Reveal

My partner Nicole Valentine Rimmer and I have communicated---- a lot! We talked of color and metals, then we got to the discussion about where her earrings were, Ugh. Not in her mailbox, which led me to the point I told her I may not ever want to have to ship out of the States, but she convinced me, quite easily I might add to not let "this" stop me. What is "this" you ask, well I mailed her earrings in what I thought was plenty of time for her to get them for the reveal, but alas unless they appear today, which would be awesome, she will have to wait to see these...Now you really did not think i was going to ruin her surprise did you, lol...They are sparkly though, hehe~
Good things come to those who wait!


Nicole is an artist. She not only blessed me with a beautiful pair of earrings, but I got a bonus and was sent earth tone glass beads that have been etched, awesome effect to the beads---love them both.

Handblown glass beads with handmade earwires!



Now to decide-To bead or not to Bead....hmm, I think that is an easy answer today! Thank you Nicole for the lovelys and the penny charm. I have decided where those two etched beads will go...for another reveal:-)


Now hop on over to others pages and enjoy the earrings on display...Thank you Jessica for putting this together! I know I appreciate those who put thier time into manning these hops!
Happy Beading~

Update---they have arrived...Thanks USPS for taking your sweet time on this. I've heard she likes them so all the better. I used sterling silver wires due to my partners sensitivity to other metals. Add some seaglass and rondelles all-a-sparkle and tada, some lovelys for a spring day!

  7. My partner Silvia and I had the same problem. Her package from Italy took four days...my package to her is on day 10 and still not arrived. I did the same thing you did, though, I obscured the picture so as not to ruin the surprise.
