Vintage Czech Glass Seed Bead/Natural Stone Necklace


Today is the day…well, actually yesterday was the day that I finally started to use my Czech beads.

I am thrilled.

In my first necklace, I used vintage (1940’s) mint pistachio glass seed beads.

I incorporated these beads in with other natural gemstone/stone beads to create a one-of-a-kind single- strand necklace.   All of my necklaces that I make are unique and one-of-a-kind.  I want each and every one to be special for the owner; the recipient of a gift; or, even, for myself.  I never use a pattern  as  each design is inspired by my natural surrounds and by  the natural stones that I use, and I never make duplicates…remember, one-of-a-kind.

What do you think?

If you have to have it, you can purchase it from my Etsy store, MtnGlen; that is, until someone else purchases the necklace I affectionately call ‘Spring Green’.  You will also find a more detailed description of all the other stones I used to create 'Spring Green' on the listing.

Visit my shop at www.etsy.com/shop/MtnGlen and you should be able to access my shop directly.  Thanks for taking a look!

Beautiful Beads



I am getting super anxious now…

Today, I just had to organize my newest batch of beads that I purchased.   I was ecstatic!

Unfortunately, my multi-purpose table, the place where I create my necklaces, is serving double duty at the moment.  I had just enough space to work with the newest of my beads, but not enough space to spread out my entire collection from which to choose as I make my bead choices. 

Why?

Well, even though I finished with my part of the tax paperwork, hubby has not.  He is still spread out on my table (well…it was actually my grandmother’s table before it became mine) as well as in the office and a few other in sundry places. 

I have got to get him in gear to finish the taxes.  I want my table space back.  I desperately need my table space back.                
 
WHEN AM I GOING TO GET MY WORK SPACE BACK????? - excuse the outburst!

Fortunately, I am happy just looking at my latest additions and dreaming of future, finished creations.

I can wait.  I have done so in the past; and, I am doing such now.



Gorgeous!!! 
And, you too, can own one of my my unique, one-of-a-kind necklaces
