By Popular Demand!

Over the years I've had many requests to create bird nest necklaces with a mix of blue and pink beads to signify sons and daughters.

So new in the shop this week are these sweet little gold bird nest necklaces with blue and pink pearl eggs. You can select 2, 3 or 4 eggs in total and also the combination of blue and pink pearls.

This makes such a meaningful gift to a mother! Perfect for Valentine's Day or Mother's Day.

Available here in my Etsy Shop.

      

Spring is in the Air

Although it's been an incredibly wet April and so far, May also, I know that spring is in the air because each morning around 3:30 am the birds start chirping outside our bedroom window. It's incredible how loud it gets and usually Ian or myself ends up getting out of bed and closing the windows. We have a cherry tree outside and the birds just love congregating in it.

Now I probably bring it on myself as I put seed out for the birds. The bonus is during the day I look out of my kitchen window and see so many beautiful birds at the feeder.

On the topic of birds, I have been adding to my collection of bird nest necklaces at Jacaranda Designs. They have been selling well lately with Mother's Day around the corner. After receiving many requests for custom colors, I decided to expand the line to include more color combinations.

Have a wonderful day and don't forget to feed the birds!

Jacaranda Designs Jewelry - New Listings This Week

Friday is here already and I'm looking at my "to-do" list for the week and I don't seem to have done nearly as much as I set out to at the beginning of the week. On the bright side though, I have completed some of those long dreaded tasks which I had been putting off for ages.

I've been continuing to add items to my Etsy shop, preparing for Spring and Summer. Lovely colorful items full of vintage glamor! Here's just a sampling....

A Heron Visiting

A few minuted ago I was standing in our office chatting with my husband when he suddenly looked past me, out the window and said "Look at that chimney!". So here's the shots I took of this lovely heron in the middle of suburbia, sitting on our neighbor's chimney. What a majestic looking bird!
