Saturday morning.....

I spent a lovely day Saturday morning in one of my favorite little towns, at one of my favorite bead shops with S.I.L Beth, where we participated in a wire jewlery class. It was a spectacular way to chase away the winter blues.

Heidi Small, a friendly spirit with LOADS of patience, taught the class at Aboca Beads in downtown Damariscotta. Taylor, owner and partner to her Mom joined in on the fun, helping us select beads and other materials.

There were a few others in the class, a threesome, made up of 2 sisters and a brother. (Jerry was a hoot!) and Taylors friend who's done this a few times before. (her piece was GORGEOUS!)

I have to tell you, I've got to get Beth to send me a picture of her necklace, it was really quite beautiful, and I can still see it in my mind.

I snapped a quick photo of my creation.

sorry the quality is way lame.

Turquoise and a big chunky piece of coral, all wrapped up in silvery wire.

If you're in the area, check them out for future classes, or stop by and pick up some unique beads and findings.

Such a great way to spend a cold winter's day!

Ohhh Jes, this is GORGEOUS. What a wonderful job you did on it. I'm telling you! And against that black, it just pops. It would look great with a Black Turtleneck.

Dang... I'm drooling.
