Trendy Expressions Blog

What is a blog?
A blog is a type of website with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics, pictures or video.
The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs.

Why am I using a blog?
I am using a blog for a few reasons:
1. I do a lot of custom orders. I would like to let my customers provide feedback on purchases they have made.
2. I also would like to show potential customers my creative abilities.
3. You can also be notified of ideas I have when you check the Blog for new product lines or materials I wish to use and make comments.
4. I also can give more information on the charities I support and get feedback or suggestions of new charities from anyone.
5. The website that I sell my products on www.etsy.com doesn’t provide enough space for information about upcoming events and previous events that I have held or attended.
6. And most of all, it’s a fun interactive way to keep in contact with my customers and it's super easy! You can include your name when you leave a comment or post a comment anonymously on anything I blog about.

The new line is called Loving Luxury. The jewelry is made with Swarovski Crystals, Fire-Polished Glass Beads, and more precious gems and metals. I have listed below the pieces of jewelry that are in the Loving Luxury line and will be adding more soon:

Local Bead Shops that I love!

Some of my customers have asked....
Where do I shop for my beads?
What are my favorite places to get beads?
Do I buy online?

My favorite local shops are:

Fat Cat Beads:

I like the selection of metal charms.
Favorite: I love the punch card that I fill and get 10.00 off my next purchase!


Meant to Bead:

I love the HUGE selection of beads. I have to stick to the list of things I came for, or it gets bad.
Favorite: The selection of Swarovski beads.

I love the atmosphere. Hippyish. I love the selection of frosted glass beads.
Favorite: Fill a small zip lock bag with random beads for $3.00!

Shopping Rules:
My only rule when I go into one of these shops is I HAVE to leave in 30 minutes or less! Or I go a little nutso on the beads. There are so many choices and opportunities!

Frosted Diamond Necklace and Earrings

This is a custom order for my friend Carrie. She loved the Frosted Black Earrings I made and asked to have a necklace to match. This will be perfect for her, because she loves a classic look!

The necklace is made with a frosted black glass bead, with silver rhinestone rhondelle beads, then a Clear Swarovski Crystal bead at the end of the pattern.

The earrings are made with silver wire and a silver chain. The beads used were the frosted black glass bead and the silver rhinestone rhondelle bead. It also has a Swarovski Crystal bead near the earring hook for an added glitz.

It's called the Black Diamond. It's a Lariat design, which means that there is no clasp. The necklace is looped through the silver ring. The centerpiece is made with an assortment of black and crystal glass beads, with a rhinestone accent pieces.

The earrings are made with silver wire and chain. They have frosted black stones with a rhinestone accent piece.
