Busy Elves


Greetings everyone!

No - I haven't disappeared to the North Pole.  Just been busy working on creating some holiday gifts for family with the hubby.   I cannot show any photos of these goodies until after the holidays, but we are really having so much fun creating them.

In the meantime, I have a few new pieces of jewelry to share with you.  The first one is our Dewdrop Faerie Bracelet, which is shown in the above photo.  I am really in love with this bracelet.   It was quite hard to capture the luminescent quality of these beads with my camera - trust me when I tell you that they are just so lovely in person.  My hubby did the wire work and wrapping.  He also named the bracelet, too!

I also created some new bobby pins for the shop, since the first set sold very quickly.  These pink and red paper roses are so lovely and feminine.  I also chose a delicate yellow rose to complete the set.  I think they will really make for a bright cheery hair accessory during the dreary winter months.

I'm also offering free shipping for all my wonderful blog friends!  Simply use the coupon code GRATITUDE15 to save 15 percent off your entire purchase (before shipping) from my shop.  It might be too late for friends in Europe or Canada to receive goodies in time for the holidays, but there is plenty of time for those who live in the United States.  Orders within the US will ship through December 16th.  Oh - and my very NEXT sale will receive a FREE art bookmark AND a special gift.  

I hope to post again by the end of the week.  I'll be sharing some favorite holiday books with you.  Til then, I will be hard at work on those holiday gifts and visiting your blogs.  Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!

Til next time,
Theresa

I think I saw that bracelet in your shop, it is just beautiful! Compliments to your husband, too! His metal work looks lovely with the beautiful beading.

I love those little roses for the bobby pin set, so sweet!

I can't believe we are down to 14 days until the big day!

Absolutely beautiful bracelet and bobby pins Theresa! I so understand not having the time to post. Half the time I think I'm crazy for doing the Radvent Challenge, especially this time of year. It's such fun, but boy, does it take time I don't really have right now. Hope you are having an amazing Holiday Season! From this post, I would say, Yes! ;o) The prep for me, is more than half the fun!

Beautiful bracelet and I love the name. Hubby did good picking it out!

So far I've seen all those Christmas movies this year but Scrooged, A Christmas Carol and A Nightmare Before Christmas, which my niece is addicted to this year!

I think it's sweet that you and your husband worked together on the bracelet design, and the paper flowers are so lovely and feminine! I just love your work.
