More 'Ice Cream'

I told you that these 'Ice Cream' beads were my favourites from the last batch of beads I had for sale. Judging by the emails I got regarding them a lot of you seemed to like them too so I have made two more sets.

Pale pink, green, cream and blue beads encased in crystal clear and decorated with spots. The spacers are etched to a soft matt finish and this seems to have made them look edible - like the little sweets you get on candy bracelets and necklaces.

BOTH SETS NOW SOLD

Number of Beads : 29
Size : Spotty beads are 13mm, spacers are 9mm
Price including worldwide postage : £70.00

First Cambridge Beads

So here they are - the first beads made in my new shed. There will be photos of the new bead abode in due course ..... just as soon as we get a proper internet connection!

Tonight's bead sales will work in the usual way. To buy beads please email me with the relevant code/s and it'll be first come, first served. I will email you back but it may take a tad longer than usual as I'll be emailing via my trusty iPhone.

All of tonight's decorated beads are approximately 13mm diameter and plain spacers are 9mm diameter. All prices include postage to anywhere in the world.

So without further ado .....

'Lovely Lovely Purple'
SOLD

I'm always at a loss for names for purple beads. There are so many shades of purple and I get bored of 'Berry' and 'Blackcurrant' and the like so these ones are 'Lovely Lovely Purple'. Pinky-amethyst and pale lavender-blue beads decorated with indigo stringerwork. The spacers are darker in this photo than they are in actual life - in reality they are a gorgeous aubergine kind of colour.

Number of Beads : 17
Price : £47.00


'Ice Cream'
SOLD

These are my favourite ones from tonight's selection. Okay, I know that blue ice-cream isn't really a thing but the name just suits these beads. Pale pink, green, cream and blue beads encased in crystal clear and decorated with spots. The spacers are etched to a soft matt finish and this seems to have made them look edible - like the little sweets you get on candy bracelets and necklaces. Please don't eat these, though! Lots of jewellery-making potential with this large set.

Number of Beads : 29
Price £70.00

Beads for sale on Friday

I will have some beads for sale here on my blog tomorrow (Friday) night at 9.00pm UK time. Due to the lack of internet (which is sending me a tiny little bit barmy) I am unable to update my actual website. I'm hoping the blog sale will be a one off and that the next time I sell beads it will be in the usual manner.

No Internet

Just thought I'd stop by and let you know that I am with shed, I am making beads and they will be for sale soon BUT we don't have a working landline or broadband connection yet. I may sell some beads via my blog at the weekend or just after so please stay tuned and I'll keep you updated.

Settling In

Hello! Chris and I are settling into our new home. It's all very strange and different and it hasn't really sunk in that it's our house yet but it's all good! My shed is arriving on Friday so I should be making beads very soon. We will also have broadband in the next few days and I'll be able to blog properly then. Just thought I'd stop by and say hello and tell you that all is well. See you soon!
