Perfect for the start of summertime, this month's We're All Ears challenge from the
Earrings Everyday blog is all about strawberries. Here are a couple of the pictures that Erin chose to get our mouths watering and our creative juices flowing! You can read more and see all the inspiration photos
HERE.
As much as I loved (and was made hungry by) the inspiration pictures, I found that I really didn't have anything especially "strawberry like" in my bead stash. Never fear... I was headed to the Bead & Button Show! Aisle after aisle, I kept scanning the booths looking for something appropriate to no avail. That is until I stopped at
Thornburg Bead Studio and found the lampwork glass of Nikki Thornburg-Lanigan. She had just the thing... adorable lampwork strawberry head pins! Squee!!
I made wrapped dangles from my sweet little strawberries and hung them and some Czech glass leaves from the new tiny hammered rings from
Vintaj. I think they turned out pretty simple, cute, and perfect for summer! Pop over to the Earrings Everyday blog to see what everyone else dreamed up this month
HERE... I'll be eating some strawberry rhubarb crumble if you need me!
Your search paid off..your earrings are delightful and so summery! Love them. I found myself in a similar predicament....so I had to make do with what I had. And in searching I found a pair of strawberry charms.
ReplyDeletecute earrings! I love the sweet charms.

ReplyDeleteBead & Button lucky you! You're right those headpins are adorable. What a fun pair of earnings perfect for the blog hop. They would be my new go-to pair for the summer.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute, Miss Sarajo! I love that you actually found strawberry headpins. I love Miss Nikki's work! I actually found my headpins from her from last year but none that looked too berry like. I think these are perfect fun for summer. Thanks for playing along with me in this juicy June challenge. Stop by at Earrings Everyday on July 1st for our next inspiration! Enjoy the day. Erin
