Think Pink



The weather was glorious today! A balmy 16 degrees which is a welcome change from the frigid temperatures we've been experiencing all winter.  I think it's time to put away the skis and snowshoes after this weekend.  Booked a week away in the sun so I'm getting really excited about that.  

I headed into town and of course, no visit to Toronto is complete without visiting the beading stores!  I am branching out of my usual color spectrum and I am buying some lovely fresh pinks and corals for spring and summer jewelry creations.  I had an order yesterday for five necklaces in pink for bridesmaids and it got me thinking that I really should try my hand at using various shades of pink.  Matched with pale coral, it can look stunning.

Have a great weekend and have fun!

Supply Shopping


The weather is glorious today so I thought I'd take advantage of the ice free roads and venture into Toronto to a few of my favourite beading stores. Of course, all I really needed was some brass chain but came back with a couple of bags of chain, beads, crystals and semi-precious stones. I was determined not to go over a certain dollar limit so I purposely paid for only 30 minutes of parking and then dashed in. Good thing about shopping like that, is I can't do quite as much damage...there again, I'll probably find a good excuse to make my way into town again soon.....and there's always shopping online! It was FUN though!
