Featured In B'Sue Boutiques Newsletter

Sun, 02 May 2010 23:44:15 CDT

My lovely Vintage Orange Butterfly Cameo Pendant Necklace has been featured in this week's B'Sue Boutiques newsletter.

It just goes to show--listen to your mother.

I e-mailed B'Sue last week to thank her for her amazing stock of findings and supplies, and I told her that I had just sold my first piece created from her cameo and mount selections ( Blue Butterfly Cameo Pendant Necklace.) It so happened that B'Sue checked out the link, and spotted my other butterfly cameo pendant necklace. She liked it so much, she asked if she could feature it in her newsletter this week.

Well, needless to say I was honored and gave her a very enthusiastic "Yes!" Thank you so much, B'Sue.

You can check out B'Sue Boutiques here. It is an amazing online treasure for vintage style jewelry designers, and one I enjoy so much, it may just be my new address!

Kazuri Beads

So what exactly are Kazuri beads?

Kazuri is a Swahili word meaning "small and beautiful."" Kazuri beads are wonderful, glossy, ceramic beads that are hand made in Africa of clay from Mount Kenya. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and patterns, with the drill hole generally accommodating 2mm leather cord quite nicely.

My earrings made from Kazuri beads are priced just a smidgen higher than most of my earring designs, simply because these beads are high quality imports and cost a bit more per bead than others. However, I believe they are well worth it!

For those of you interested in commissioning a design with Kazuri beads, I suggest browsing Antelope Beads for color and pattern options and availability.
