April Fool's Day Snow Storm is Sooo Not Funny!

As anyone in the Northeast can tell you, we have/had (since you're reading this on a Saturday) a real Nor'easter of a snow storm. And on April Fool's Day. So not funny. Really depressing. In fact it has me seeing red. The madder I got the topic for this post became obvious: red. Red anything as long as it's not snow white.
So, first off, here's an incredibly lovely shade of red, orange agate and sunstone, from 2 Belles and a Bead



Sparkly and warm earrings from Bead Origami



and from Shiny Adornments




More sparkly red from Bead Up a Storm



Not enough sparkles yet? How about this set of beads from N Valentine Studio



This piece reminds me of a warm log fire, from Jewelry Art by Dawn



That's it, I feel better now.

Spring Fling

Today is the first full day of Spring in the northern hemisphere. In my small corner of the world, the past week has had beautiful, sunny, warm weather.

With the arrival of Spring, people are dressing differently. They are wearing lighter weight clothing and lighter, brighter colours. With different clothing, they are wearing different jewelry too. Jewelry is fresh, light and cheerful.

Let’s see what the members of the SATeam have in store for Spring.
