Brass Charm bracelet, Swarovski Crystal and Pearl Bracelet

Some time ago, my daughter and I found a small booth selling brass charms and decided to pick some to make a charm bracelet for each of us. My daughter loves charm bracelet; she likes the ones that go jingling and jangling with every movement.   I don’t know why but I too love the enduring charming appeal of this jingly bracelet. It works magic – it can be feminine or funny, glamorous or girlish, classic or whimsical and still make a statement.  I personally love the soft jingle and jangle the charm bracelet makes when it is in motion and I love to examine each quirky charms dangling from it. 

This is my daughter's brass charm bracelet.....

I wanted to create a vintage-style look, so I went for beads of neutral colors such as the remarkable color of  Swarovski Elements’ beautiful golden shadow, pearly white Swarovski Elements’ crystal pearl, clear Chinese crystal rondelles  and Czech Preciosa pearl-coated druk beads to match the brass chainlink and charms.  

This pretty Swarovski crystal and pearl bracelet will definitely be the perfect accessory for her next daytime outing with her friends!

Flower Bookmark, Spring Bookmark, Pearl and Flower

 Spring arrives and is the time for new beginnings and fresh ideas.  To me, Spring means more colors surround us,  Flowers blooming everywhere and seeing the leaves on trees turning a beautiful new green ....

To celebrate the Spring season, I started this "Spring is Here!" flower bookmark series.  

I LOVE flowers.  I love the colors, the shapes and the beauty of it.  I love the way it makes me feel when I look at flowers.  I love the way it has a wonderful fragrance of its own.  I love the way it naturally grow.  I love that it can grow anywhere the seed lands.  AND, most of all, I love the way it inspires me.

Flowers make me smile....I guess that is one of the reason why women love it so much.  And when it comes from someone we love, it means so much more, as we know they care that even a single stem of rose or a small bouquet of wild flowers makes us happy.

I know I am not finished with Spring and flowers and how they make me feel after each  pearl and flower bookmark is completed, as I have a couple more on my work table but for now, you can find these pretty spring bookmarks at my Etsy shop.

Fact :  Study shows that if you keep a vase of flowers at your work, looking at them in the morning, will reduce stress and anxiety at work.
