Hello All!

Hoping all is well in your worlds and that you are all happy and healthy!

I have three new auctions up on ebay as of tonight...

REDWOODS ::: The longer we live in the beauty and splendor of these majestic Redwood forests in Sonoma County,California, the more I LOVE these colors in my REDWOODS bead design... here is a collection of handsome handmade artisan lampwork glass beads in rich "redwood bark" browns on a backdrop of earthy sage greens... great beads for all year 'round! These beads were created with a bracelet in mind.

There are 9 beads in this collection... to start this collection is a 23mm x 25mm lentil shaped focal/centerpiece bead with 6 smaller lentil shaped beads to accompany it that all measure about 19mm... there is also a pair of smaller round shaped beads that measure about 6mm x 9mm... these little rounds were created with earrings or 'danglies' in mind... all of these beads are decorated on both sides and have all been gently etched to a satin matte finish... they have been temporarily strung on satin ribbon and this strand of beads measures about 5-3/4 inches long... add some of your favorite goodies, like, bronze or copper freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystals, Bali or Thai silver accent beads and a cool clasp and you will have the perfect bracelet for this new season of Fall on into Winter!




MAJESTIC PURPLES ::: A colorful collection of handmade artisan lampwork glass beads in rainbow colors with pale lavenders to deep, rich purples with a backdrop in greens, hints of browns and blues... colorful and fun beads that will truly work all year 'round.

There are 15 beads in this collection... a lentil shaped focal/centerpiece bead that measures about 23mm x 25mm with 8 smaller lentil shaped beads to accompany it that measure from 18mm to 20mm... and... three matching pair of smaller round beads that were created with earrings and/or 'danglies' in mind... these smaller beads measure from 4mm x 8mm to 9mm x 10mm... four of these beads have been gently etched to a satin matte finish... all of these beads have been decorated on both sides and have been temporarily strung on ribbon... the strand with the 25mm focal bead in it measures just shy of 7 inches long... the earring and/or 'danglie' beads are strung separately and this little strand of beads measures about 2-1/4 inches long.




FALL'S ARRIVAL ::: Fall has arrived! The days are shorter, the leaves are starting to fall from the trees and the sun's shadows are coming in at a different angle... it's VERY cool! Time to get out the sweaters and put away our Summer wear until next year. Time to start having fires in the fireplace again. Time to cuddle up with a good movie or book. Time to enjoy this new time of year!

To celebrate this new season of Fall is a collection of handmade artisan lampwork glass beads in the colors of this time of year... rich browns, honey, pale steel blues and other earthy shades... these beads were created with a necklace, bracelet and matching earrings in mind!

There are 18 beads in this collection... there are 12 lentil shaped beads that measure from 19mm to 22mm... also included are 3 matching pair of smaller rounds that measure from 5mm x 7mm to 7mm x 10mm... these rounds were created with earrings and/or "danglies" at your clasp in mind... all of these beads are decorated on both sides... these beads have been temporarily strung on satin ribbon and this strand of beads measures about 10 inches long... great beads to create a lovely Fall-time necklace, bracelet and matching earrings with these earthy colors... they would look fab with "goodies", such as, bronze or copper freshwater pearls, Bali or Thai silver accent beads, Swarovski crystal beads and a cool and unique clasp!



That's it for now... tomorrow (or tomorrow evening) I will be adding some Specials in here that I have up for sale on my www.graciebeads.com/specials.html web site.

Until then, take good care and be good to yourselves. :)

G'nite, Gracie :)
