The hard part is deciding which color pearl is your favorite, I think. Right now I go back and forth between peacock pearls and your standard white ones. Which do you like?
These bracelets can all be seen here.

Working With Pearls
I've made 4 bracelets this week and quite a few pairs of earrings with some new pearls I got. What is it about pearls, I wonder? They just look and feel so special and as soon as you put them on, you feel special, too.

BesTeam Member of the Week: Elle's Beads
In her own words:
"My mantra is that beautiful and fun jewelry can be made from simple beads. You'll find my funky fabric barrettes and brooches here as well as jewelry made from vintage beads, charms, and findings."
Looking through her shop, I'm loving it! And of course I'd showcase these colors:

Tempt Me Tuesday!
It's that time again! Look at everything that is tempting me this week!
If only I could sell something, then I could buy something. Isn't that always the way?
I'm tempted by teal this week. Okay, fine, every week.

What I'm Reading Now
I have been a historical fiction fan for years and am always on the lookout and the hunt for good ones.
Just recently I read the Josephine B. trilogy by Sandra Gulland and just loved them. I cried at the end of the third. What a sad but strong love Josephine and Napoleon had!
Right now I am reading Pope Joan by Donna Woolfolk Cross. It tells the story of a girl named Joan who grew up in the 800s between France (Frankland) and Rome. She pretended to be a boy and then a man because women were not allowed to be scholars, or indeed anything other than wives and childbearers. The book tells how she grew from child to woman (man) and became Pope.
No one agrees on whether or not Pope Joan is fictional or not but the book is fascinating. Here is the wiki page on her if anyone cares to read up on it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Joan
So tell me, what have you been reading lately? Anything that you just love?
