Gobble Gobble!

Turkeys are arriving today at The Bead Gallery! I also have a couple up on etsy.com so please stop by either place to check them out.

And have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

More jewelry by wonderful artists!

I haven't had a chance to add these to the gallery yet (I need help from a friend) so I thought I'd share them here first. Thank you to everyone that came to the Soft Flex Bead Show and brought their jewelry to share! I have a couple more pics that I'll share later this week.

The first necklace is by Emilie... it's absolutely gorgeous! The little girl and her puppy is by another artist and is like a mini piece of art... so cool - I love it!

silly & fun

Just wanted to share some jewelry that Clarine created with her Halloween juju beadz! They came out super cute and fun! She also asked me to make her a Scooby Doo bead and thought I'd share that too. Scooby doobie doo! Hope you all had a great Halloween! Now that my kids are older, I'm bummed they don't go out and trick-or-treat - I don't get to "check" all of their candy anymore. :)

Beach bums for a day

What a gorgeous day to take off and go to the North Shore with my friend Alicia! The water was incredible and as usual, we were hunched over the sand looking for treasure (shells). We were lucky today and found a whole bunch of teeny-tiny ones. Got to play tourist too since she's going to featured in a magazine back in Genova and they wanted some pics of her doing things in Hawaii.

Fishing Tournament

The Keehi Boat Club Wahine Fishing Tournament was held this past weekend. When the men have a tournament, there's often a pretty woman in a bikini or pareau to take pics with the men and their catch upon their return. Well, Kylen and Cole were volunteered to be the "men" that took pics with the women and their catch when they arrived. They were supposed to take off their shirts but were too shy... at least they had big smiles! And that's a nice mahi mahi that the Kiyomi brought in! Too bad Kevin didn't include the fishes head in the pic, yah?

night lights!

The new glass I ordered arrived last Wednesday! Yay - it's Christmas or my birthday in October! Never mind, cancel the birthday, I really don't need to get older sooner. :)

I added some night lights and jewelry to etsy.com and more will be coming soon. Here's one of my latest night lights... doesn't it look yummy?!

Skinny Pigs???

Saw these funky animals at Koolau Pets today while my kids were having their teeth cleaned. They're called Skinny Pigs a.k.a. hairless guinea pigs. I think they're cute in a weird way... my favorite's the guy in the food bowl. Which one do you like?
