Went shopping again

So before we went on vacation I went shopping again- I have a thing for handmade jewelry right now.  This time I hit up the Etsy store of two people that I know and this is what I got...

My first stop was some Recycled & Upcycled handcrafted jewelry by B.B. Bellezza- I found a great pair of Upcycled Sunburst Washer Earrings with Lilac Beads.  I have already worn them once to a family function and have gotten tons of compliments on them.

My next stop was to a fellow Baltimore Foodie and found a pair of Green Glass and Wood Earrings by theminx. I can't to wear these funky and elegant earrings

I suggest that you stop both Etsy stores and take a gander- I am sure you will find something you just gotta have!!!

A girl's day in: food, friends & jewels!

There is nothing more fun than a couple of hours with your friends and beautiful jewelry. Yesterday I had a handmade beaded & wire wrapped silver jewelry by Studio 722 Jewelry (A friend of mine make it all herself).  She uses sterling silver, semi-precious gemstones, freshwater pearls and other beautiful materials in her handmade jewelry.

It was great having friends and coworkers over to the house to share in some fun and laughs. We had so much fun that the we lost track of time and before we knew it was 5:00!

I put on my Chef's hat and made some yummy delights from Spinach & Artichoke stuffed mushrooms caps, Nana's Apple Cake, Shrimp Cocktail, Warm the Oven Cheese spread, Beer Bread (with Dogfish Head Aprihop), Italian Cheese Ball and a veggie tray (Didn't think to take pictures).

I got some GREAT looking pieces and can't wait to wear them out...
