~~~~~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.

Sea Shells


I saw these shells in a local bead shop and fell in love with them. Perfect for summer and a great alternative to pearls (my favorites).


These shells are coated with a pearl white paint for extra sheen and gives them a little more durability.


Each shell is topped with a 3mm Swarovski crystal and all sterling findings, length is apprx 1 inch from bottom of sterling ear wire.

Isn't it Time YOU Pampered Yourself!!



I usually don't spend frivolously on myself but a few weeks ago I went for a pedicure with my best friend (both our first time) and I have to say it was THE BEST! I had a nice french pedicure. I think it looks so nice with a golden tan and a sparkling anklet (not that I have a tan its done nothing but rain everyday in June).


So yesterday I was going to a wedding as usual I was shopping last minute for something to wear when I realized my feet looked like crap so I decided to go have them done again.


Well the place I went to Andy's Nails, they just re-did there whole salon and got new massage pedicure chairs with its own remote control, seriously I thought I died and went to heaven!


This chair messaged every possible sore and achy part of my body. It touched from the bottom of the hairline on my neck to the top of my buttocks, it was 1 hour and 15 minutes of pure pleasure, I literally walked out a new person ( I should mention I was in a car accident years ago, I rolled my car over and have had issues now that I'm older).


Well in a few weeks I will be going to Elite Skin Day Spa my 3 best friends bought me a gift certificate for my birthday for a day at the spa, Oh I can't wait! We are all going to spend the day together and pamper ourselves!
Here are a few at home pedicure links I found to keep up on my feet myself:

Recycled Aluminum, Who would have thought!!


KMStudioDOTcom is just a small town girl from Pennsylvania. She enjoys creating things since she was a young girl. At the age of thirteen, she became very interested in photography and actually even considered making it a career, but changed her mind when she thought she would get bored doing the same thing over and over each day.
Now, at age 20, KMStudioDOTcom is creating things out of everything. :) Her newest craze is recycling anything and everything. I hope you enjoy browsing through her shop KMStudioDOTcom.etsy.com , I know I did!!

KMStudioDOTcom.etsy.com newest craze is turning something old into something new. Why throw something away if there's a way it can be used somewhere else?
Go check out her shop, the Mountain Dew teddy bear and Aluminum flowers are also amazing!
