Pink Saturday July 10



It's Pink Saturday, the day we celebrate all things PINK. Thank you to Beverly from How Sweet the Sound who hosts this phenom every week.



A couple weeks ago I showed this Rhodocrosite bracelet.



I loved the look of the Rhodocrosite in the hand formed links so much I made a pair of earrings to match.



I think I will sell this as a set in my shop Gracie Jewellery

This week I am asking everyone to visit Peggy at My Affairs with Art & Daily Life. Peggy's husband Norm has had a stroke and I have been visiting Peggy everyday to see how he is doing. Please take a moment to visit and say a Prayer for Norm and Peggy.

Have a safe week and please drop by again.

Pink Saturday June 26

The last Pink Saturday in June! Where did the month go? Thank you to Beverly at How Sweet The Sound for hosting our weekly gathering of Pinkaholics.



This week my entry is short and sweet

A bracelet using one of my favourite pink stones - rhodocrosite



Button shaped beads hand wired to hand formed Argentium Sterling Silver links that have been fused closed. I love the variation of pinks in these beads.

Last week while randomly clicking on all the Pinker Links listed at How Sweet the Sound I found Olivia at Olivia's Romantic Home. I had a lovely visit.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you next week.

Happy Pink Saturday-April 17

Happy Pink Saturday! Once again this week Beverly from How Sweet the Sound is hosting our pink party.



So last week these beautiful Rhodochrosite stones looked like this



This week they look like this



I wanted to keep the necklace simple and let the stones do the talking.



The chain is completely handmade, each link hand formed and fused together. The silver and the stones complement each other beautifully.



So now that you have oohed and awed and hopefully left me a message, you should visit a new member of our Pink group-Happier Than a Pig in Mud

Thank you for visiting. Have a great weekend.

Pink Saturday April 10

Welcome to Pink Saturday!

Last Saturday it was 80 degrees and sunny so my husband and I made the 2 hour drive to my bead suppliers. These are amongst the treasure I came home with.


This is Rhodochrosite.


Rhodochrosite (whose name means rose-colored) is a very attractive mineral with an absolutely one-of-a-kind, beautiful color. The color of a single crystal can just astound the observer with its vivid pink-rose color that seems to be transmitted out of the crystal as if lit from within. Please come back next week to see what I do with these beauties.

Please visit Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for links to all the Pink lovin' ladies in blogland. I know we are supposed to post a link to a blog we visited for the first time last week, but I am posting the link to LaVoice at Thoughts from Memme's Corner. I love visiting LV a couple times a week, I think it would be fun to have afternoon tea with her. Last week she had something nasty happen to her but she is such a classy lady, she rose above it and set an example for the rest of us. Thank you LV.



Thanks for stopping by. Have a Happy Pink Saturday.
