Monday review of new pieces of jewellery



Should I list these new pieces?

(I'm linking up with Mellow Yellow Monday #90, Smiling Sally's Blue Monday and The Work of the Poet's Ruby Tuesday.)



These are stretch bracelets in the ususal fall colours, yellow-orange-red. You can were several on your wrist or...



Or just one together with a watch or alone. This first patteren has a lot of different coloured glass beads in it. But I am also working on simpler patterns with one predominate colour, such as this yellow stretch bracelet:



Another innovation is that I am stringing two sizes of glass seed beads (size 6 & size 8) to get a more varied texture in even one-coloured designs such as this entirely cobalt blue stretch bracelet:



The most important fall colour this year is purple.
Here are some stretch bracelets in colours that range between red and blue:



And as with the yellow-orange-red bracelets, you can wear several or just the one:



You have seen my latest 'skinny' stretch bracelets that I have started to make thanks to my friend Britt-Marie, who suggested that I make something simple for everyday use.
But, I even make 'chunkier' bracelets. Here are two lovely purple stretch bracelets made up of beautiful purple and silver lampwork glass beads:





Which should I list in my shops? Do you have a favourite? I am still working on making bracelets in other colours. Welcome back!

Best wishes,
Anna

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in Canada!

Some of the last flowers blooming before the final killer frost

As I have mentioned several times before, we have a lovely garden.

But I am always finding interesting plants along our neighbors' fence.

These bright red-orange flowers looked like this about a week or so ago. I don't know what they are called. If anyone can tell me what their name is in English, Latin or Swedish, I would be very grateful. According to Jakill from Jean's Musings, these flowers are nasturtiums. (Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me! Best wishes from Anna on October 14th 2009)

Yes they were this bright! I will miss the lovely greens and bright reds, oranges and pinks of spring and summer.

On the other hand, I can make jewellery as cheery as summer-flowers all fall and winter.

Please come visit again and see!

More inspiration from the garden:



Summer is drawing to a close, here in Sweden. But there are still some roses left in the garden! Look at these Peace roses. They are so incredibly orange-red in colour!
