Last weekend I was naughty and I splurged at The Bead Gallery. I bought enough fixin’s to make some earrings*.
Smoky Quartz Earrings
Silver Chain Drop Earrings w/ Tanzanite Kyanite** Briolettes
And my favorite pair, the Aquarium Wedding Cake Earrings.
I was not nearly so naughty when I went to the shop yesterday, but I did pick up some nice components that I hope to play with in the coming days.
I’ve also been *gasp!* knitting! Stay tuned to see exactly what it is. I will say that I’m not thrilled with it, but I’m sticking to it.
Finally, a shot of Quincy in yet another odd resting place.
Happy Friday everyone! Have a great weekend!
*None of these will be going into the shop. These are all MINE! But if you really want a pair let me know and I might be able to arrange it. ;-)
**Wow. I totally thought those were Tanzanite, but I checked and those are Kyanite stones. My bad!

Oh, Opal. Oh dear. If I only had a million dollars…Those tanzanite earrings are stupendous.

The earrings are nice, too. ;^)

I like the shape of the wedding cake earrings and wait to get that pair in the mail.
Strange how cats can be comfy almost anywhere.

Those wedding cake earrings made me smile, though the tanzanite pair would be more to my taste if I wore earrings.

Oh my (fanning self) – those smoky quartz are just breath-taking! I’ve beehn a quartz fan for a longtime – smoky, clear, rose, amethyst, citrine, rutilated – you name it.
Really Opal, those earrings are truly spectacular :)
It looks as though Quincy is nestling in your shoes. When he was a baby, Goldie used to sleep *in* my shoes.

The drop earrings are my favorites. (Not that I could wear them, mind you, so they are safe with you….)
June 16th, 2009 at 3:52 am
Very very pretty! We may have to talk wedding jewelry someday! ;o)

How nice you have someone that will fix your yarn – I usually just shove it back in the stash!
Gorgeous earrings…oh, and nice new socks too!

Your jewelry is so beautiful! I especially love those quartz earrings!
