New in the Shops - Blue and Red Love!

Red is the Color of Love

I saw these glass beads at a bead show last fall and am beguiled by the combination of translucency and opacity. Plus, the color is an amazingly deep shade of red, so it's perfect as a gift for Valentine's Day, which is almost upon us. It's also great for those of us who adore the color red and who need no holiday to give us an excuse to indulge ourselves.

Winter Sugar

Brand new earrings for a snowy, wintry week! I found these glass beads last year in a tiny bead shop on the Upper West Side of Manhattan - they're coated with silver and dusted with colorful glass "confetti". Embellished with sterling silver bead caps, hanging on elegant handmade copper earwires. Check them out on Etsy or Artfire.
