No Thrifting Tuesday....

:(  I just could not find the right clothing item to post today!  But on the bright side I made a new necklace which really, for me, feels like summer.  I think I have started a theme for this week, all the jewelry I have made recently is out of some sort of white colored stone.  I really got inspired by the fresh, clean feel of white on white recently, and I realized that I don't have a lot of white jewelry.  When I think of white on white clothing looks, like those that have graced the runway for this spring, images of warm, sunny beaches, and tropical locales fill my mind.  Obviously, who doesn't enjoy those images!?  :)  I also got a little inspiration for this particular necklace from my favorite ancient culture.....Ancient Egypt!  I really want to go and see the Cleopatra Exhibit that is on display at the Cincinnati Museum Center right now....(I have kind of been in love with Egypt since I was a kid.)  :) 
The necklace that I made for your enjoyment today is a kind of bib necklace with Italian White Onyx, Gold Coral Beads...(which makes it even more beachy!)  And a really cool free gift stone, a white rectangular looking  bead.  Not sure what type of stone it is, but it is really sparkly in the light.  It was free with my last order from Fire Mountain Gems.

  3. I really like the necklace you made. I feel like there isn't a lot of good white jewelry.
