I love it when little treasures arrive in my studio, as was the case with these sweet pearly beads. Just looking at them reminded me of childhood favourites like tooth achingly sweet Fondants. Delicately flavoured with essence of fruit and a special party treat. I’m so happy to see that they are still being made (you can buy them online here)
This cherished yet small hoard of lovely beads lead to a search for the prettiest earring findings I could find; a dip into my box of ‘After factory coated’ crystals, because I love how much the special finishes glitter in the sunshine. A happy afternoon beading in the garden and the Summer Breeze earrings took shape. I’ve put mine on little little luggage labels, ready to gift to my friends. The labels are from one of my favourite Etsy sellers, Vintagebyme her store of gorgeous downloadable designs is here.
The Summer Breeze are in the store now, and are limited to just 10 kits for each colourway. Here’s the link that will take you right there. You can make the earrings without my precious little kits, if like me you have boxes of treasure to dip in to, I’ve put the pattern into my PDF store for you here.
