Freshwater Pearl Necklace, Moon Drop Earrings

I've been waiting for a while now for inspiration to strike regarding some pretty freshwater pearls I picked up this past summer. It finally came to me last week at my friend's crafting party. Apparently I needed the spark provided by some fun conversation, something that is usually lacking when I'm working alone at home.

I've paired the pearls with some pink and moss green semi-precious stone beads and silver disc spacers, set on a princess length silver-plated steel chain. I love the way the different materials play off each other. So pretty!




I didn't have to wait for inspiration to strike on these earrings - I love watching the full moon, especially when it has a glowing ring around it. These hoops with crystal drops are the earthbound representation of our sister moon!




And for anyone who follows this blog but not my Facebook page, sweet little Cleo finally gave up the fight two weeks ago. I was so thankful that she was at home in familiar surroundings, and that things went somewhat quickly at the end. Max and I are learning to get by with one less beastie in the house. We're doing ok, but Max is not a happy camper whenever I have to leave for a while - he's never been alone before! As long as he has food, though, he manages.

I'll be posting some more items very soon, including some earrings inspired by Cleo's eyes - they were the prettiest shade of green ;-)

Blessings!
