Baby Bling!

Sparkly Strandz has one of the coolest things I didn't know I needed when my children were babies--a necklace for mom to wear that's been designed to hold baby's attention while nursing! Freedom from hair pulling and arm pinching--and hand-crafted from baby-safe materials--it's just perfect! You can find other types of handcrafted jewelry at Sparkly Strandz, but while you're there be sure to check out the adorable baby items!

CryZtalvisions, with a "Z"

Beth Alexander of CryZtalvisions says:

I've been creating unique pieces of jewelry for almost 20 years now, and I'm still excited by the process. I have an insatiable appetite for learning new techniques that push the boundaries of my creativity. Along the way I have also been drawn to studying and practicing various energy healing arts, like Reiki, chakra balancing, Earth based energy medicine, shamanic practices, and Angel Therapy. I have found combining my love of minerals, my artistic eye and skill in jewelry fabrication and design, along with my heightened sensitivity to energies creates a powerful synergy. I love to immerse myself in the creative process and I'm fascinated when some pieces seem to magically design themselves. I am pleased to share my passion with you here.

I delight in creating these pieces! Each one is unique, with its own energy that I feel as I work with the materials. They transport me to a place of deep knowing, relaxation and happiness as I work. My pieces not only look wonderful when worn, but also carry with them the special healing energies of each gemstone or crystal. My work is a constant exploration of the interconnectedness of all life.

And I am delighted that I discovered her shop!

Spring Bling for Your Ears

I found these gorgeous earrings at Elements by Dawn. I love basic geometry designs, and Dawn's obsession with circles, spheres, disks, and symmetry is expressed throughout her designs. She also has lovely bracelets and necklaces--so click on over and have a look--but it's her earrings that really got my attention.
