~~~~~Getting Ready for Fall~~~~~

Fall in New England is one of my favorite times of year. With the turning of the leaves, apple picking, so many different colored mums and pumpkins everywhere. And oh those bulky knit sweaters...

This time of year there's also a lot of talk about what the colors will be for the fall season, so these are a few beads I've chosen for earrings. The beads shown are Tourmaline, Rhodonite Pink Kiwi Jasper, Green,Red and Amber Quartz, Orange,Pink,Red,Honey and Caramel Jade,Swarovski Crystals,Blue Lapis,Serpentine,Rhodolite Garnet and Aqua Chalcedony. You can check my shop at http://obtp.etsy.com for the finished products.

Would love your feedback and any suggestions you have.

Sometimes when I get an order in there is so much in it that I get overwhelmed. It can take me up to a week or more before I can put any ideas together. But this time I went easy and bought just a few beads and already had ideas for them. Can't wait to get started!
