New Sea Chic Bracelets

 I hope you all are having a super Monday. It is a rainy dreary day here.. and is supposed to continue until Wednesday.No big deal, the rest of the week is supposed to be beautiful and as long as Saturday is beautiful ( which it is supposed to be) I don't care. I have been making  bracelets like crazy, but it seems I have been giving quiet a few away also.That is ok also,It gets my name out there and my friends and family love them. Here are some I made 2 weeks ago and it has taken me this long to get them photographed and listed in the Etsy shop.
Something that has been bothering me though...... This weekend I lost  a few readers. :( I was so sad. I have not been as diligent with my posting  due to the preparations of the upcoming party for my son. Readership is very important to me, and I was disappointed to see that I lost readers. I also have been very lax in  visiting my blogging friends and commenting on their posts.  I appreciate your support and the readership!! For this I am sorry. I feel out of the loop. As soon as I get  through this weekend I will be be back on track. ANYWHOOO........ here  are a few of the new bracelets.

Ballard Designs Inspired Driftwood Candle Holder

This morning in my post I showed you the pretty Ballard Design Votive Driftwood candle holder. I just finished mine. I have been busy making  many things the last couple of months, but I have not been able to show you because they are for the up coming party next weekend and I want my future DIL to be totally surprised, but this is a little one I will share with you.


 I had an inexpensive 6" x6" glass vase sitting around and driftwood garland. I simply glues the wood to the glass.







I used a  thick brown multi colored floral wire and wrapped it around the vase four times, to give it a bit of a rustic look.





Here it sits on a table in my living room for now. I will be using it outside for the party.
