Random Monday-Jewelry making supplies

On Saturday I went to the International Gem and Jewelry Show that was held in Novi, a suburb of Detroit. I only took $100.00 in cash so once my money was gone I left the show, otherwise I could of gotten into a lot of trouble. The item of the week was made from the gemstones and sterling silver chain that I bought at the gem show.

My metals stamps and stamping blanks came in last week too. I spent yesterday afternoon and this morning practicing with my stamps. Below is a bracelet that i made using my metal stamps and Swarovski pearls (my favorite beads to work with). TD are my initials, C M are the initials of my pups (Chico and Maxwell) and the Sagittarius sign. I plan on ordering additional Zodiac signs but so far I only have Sagittarius stamp. Below is a picture of the bracelet I made.

My Weekend

My husband and I went to his college roommate's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding on the Detroit Riverfront overlooking the Detroit River with Canada as the backdrop. It was absolutely beautiful. I wish I took more pictures.

They had the best wedding favors that I have seen. They had a photo booth from http://www.mobileexposures.com/, where the guests could take their pictures. One copy would go the the guests and the other goes into a scrapbook for the bride and groom. To the left is the picture my hubby and I took.

The dress I wore was a periwinkle blue dress from J.Crew see pic below. The dress is lighter color blue than in this picture.

And the necklace I wore was a Fabulous Chic Design that I made the morning of the wedding to match the necklace.

See pictures below:

Item of the Week suspended...

Don't worry, the item of the week is suspended for this week only. I wasn't inspired by any of the supplies that I have. I ordered really great supplies, swarovski crystals and pearls, Angelite gemstones and sterling silver charms. I am waiting for them to arrive so I can make more jewelry pieces. I finally ordered metal stamps so engraved items will be coming soon! Thanks for all your support for the item of the week and the new item will be posted Sunday, September 27, 2009.
