Hello all,

I've been busy with other things lately and didn't get a chance to get my new auctions on ebay announced in here when I first put them up... but... better late than never... sooooo here they are...

PURPLE RAINBOW... a collection of 12 handmade lampwork glass beads created in raku rainbow colors with lavenders, purples, gentle greens and hints of blue... this auction has only 2 days left before it closes.

MIDNIGHT DELIGHT... a mini (5 beads) collection of handmade lampwork glass beads in the colors of midnight blues with amber... the auction has 3 days left before it closes.

I do hope to have some more new beads soon and more Specials on my web site, but we'll see... as I mentioned, I've been busy, busy... life is funny like that sometimes... it takes you in all kinds of unexpected directions.

Hoping all is well in your worlds!

Take good care and g'nite, Gracie

HAPPY WEEKEND everyone!

Not much new here... same ol', same ol'. We've been having lots of rain, but today the sun came out for a little while and with it came BIG smiles. The other day I took a nice long walk with my dear friend, Ruby, and we noticed all the budding trees filled with new life... so exciting! So, it is official, SPRING is almost here and I can't wait! We are sooooo spoiled (weather-wise) on the West Coast. Folks that live further east have snow (and all of its hassles... shoveling it, driving in it -yikes!) to deal with! However, I bet it can be fun living in the snow, too. *smile*

Now, on to the beads... I have added four new auctions to ebay...

HEAVENLY: 12 beads... a heavenly color combination of soft, gentle purples and soft greens for Spring! 3 day auction.

ATLANTIS: 19 beads... In the colors that could be from times long, long ago... ancient slate blues, pale champagnes, antique honey, amber and deep bronzes. 5 day auction.

VINEYARD: 8 beads... this collection of handmade lampwork glass beads was created in rainbow raku colors and blues. 7 day auction.

HONEY PIE: 25 beads... a fun collection of handmade lampwork glass beads in the colors of honey, amber, black and silver. 7 day auction.

I'm also going to have a few SPECIALS on my web site this weekend.

Hoping your weekend is absolutely delightful!

Take good care, Gracie

P.S. A special hello to Mal (the most wonderful father-in-law a girl could have) who checks my web site daily to see what's new... he's just the greatest guy! You'd love him, too!

Hi!

Hope your week is going well... not much new here, but a quick update... I have a couple new lampwork bead auctions up on ebay that have about four more days running...

SLATE - 20 beads in the colors of slate blues, cobalt blues and lots of fine silver... these beads would be great to wear with your favorite casual look.

COBALT - 16 beads in cobalt blues and pale blues with touches of silver... perfect to wear with your favorite comfy jeans. *smile* In both of these collections, some of the beads have been gently etched to a satiny matte finish... I love the satiny matte look - the matte look is earthy, classy and adds a lot of interest.

That's it for now. I've been working blues alot lately and now I am in the mood for purples... so look for those colors soon. I'm also in the mood for some oranges... what do you think? Yeah? Nay?

I've seen the color palette for Spring of 2006 and do like the viola, melon, clove and deep ultramarin. If you have any colors that you'd be interested in seeing in beads, please let me know by emailing me at gracie@graciebeads.com ... I'd would LOVE to hear from you... Spring is almost here! YEAH!

Take good care and I do hope to hear from you!

G'nite, Gracie
