So, in store-related news...
While visiting my parents for the holidays, I went bead shopping with my mother. It was amazing.
 |
| Just a few of the spoils... We went to many, many a bead store! |
Also, I found a steady supplier of a new type of hairstick. They are a style that I had found once, but that store stopped carrying them... I had given them up for lost. Now, I can get them whenever I need to! I currently have 10 (5 pairs)... Yes, it was amazing.
 |
| I am so, so excited about these! These sticks are black lacquered wood, and are 5 inches long... When I found them in the store, I was so excited I almost started to cry. |
And, lastly, I have been working on more collar necklaces--for friends, and for family, and for my store. It was--and is--amazing.
 |
| Some of the finished collar necklaces! The white one is to sell, the purple-peacock one I made to match one of my outfits, and the brown one is a prototype. |
 |
| Close up of two of the collar necklaces. |
 |
| Another close up... I am considering naming the white one, "Always Winter", a reference to the Chronicles of Narnia. |
 |
| A close up of the brown prototype... I love this one! |
And here are a few more that I'm working on... They are still in the planning/design phases. I am totally thrilled by the enthusiastic response I have gotten regarding them! While I was visiting my parents, I showed them to quite a few people... and everyone loved them!
You guessed it--it is amazing!
 |
| A rather subdued metallic palette... This one is the beginning of a (late) Christmas present to one of friends. |
 |
| These are four different options for a red/gold/brown one... Commissioned by my very own mother. :D |
 |
| And here are three options for another, brighter metallic one, also commissioned by my mum. |
...Whew! I've certainly been busy! And I am so, so blessed!

P.S. I also visited the Walter's Art Museum with my Mum and a good family friend... I had a delightful time looking at the ancient jewelry! More about that to come, though. :D
