Spring. The Myth. The Legend.

I love fall. I love winter. Okay, let me qualify that. I love winter in December. And January. And maybe in February. But come March, when the calendar says "SPRING" I expect to see some green stuff peeking its way out of the earth. And I don't even mind the smell of mud, except when I have to wipe the dogs' paws off. Again. But spring doesn't always arrive to Northern Michigan in a timely fashion. Or at all. So I've been wishfully thinking of Spring in the items I've been putting in my Etsy shop.

Flowery beads. Great for anyone who loves flowers but is allergic. Unless you're allergic to glass, then all bets are off:


And my own jewelry that reeks of Spring:





So, it may be wishful thinking. But I'm ready for it.

Or a vacation.

  1. I'm moving on with Spring. Whether Mother Nature comes with is up to her. I'm searching for some flip-flops. I think the grass green flowers beads would be a nice touch. (btw, I love how the beads are wrapped in the last pic)

  2. Alison, Thanks for popping by the bead blog today. Your work is lovely.

    I adored the post about Alaska. My cousin has traveled extensively and her favorite trip was Alaska.
