Over the top! It was on my first visit to Pretty Things, where
I was introduced to Lori’s deliciously photographed, lively designs, that I
aspired to venture beyond my first love, beadweaving, into wire working and
more.

Lori gave new definition to the term jewelry artist. I still remember the
first post I read on Lori’s blog. It was about getting away…and coming home; weaving
together books, bridges, friendly baristas, and a how-is-it-humanly-possible-to-have-such-a-clean bedroom. That post made me want to be
a better blogger!
And speaking of pretty things… here’s what arrived in my
mailbox yesterday.
Lori has recently been under the weather, and while she was confined to the aforementioned, picture-perfect bedroom, she made this bag to hold my bead soup. How awesome is that? And she included the stone cab, not as part of the soup, but just for some extra fun!
I am so excited about that Thai silver focal, assembled by Lori! And those colors, captured in glass, gemstone and ceramic!
I can’t wait to lay them all out on my mat and play around with them, just to
visualize the possibilities. But first…I have to go tidy up my bedroom!
That's a beautiful soup to inspire your creativity and your crochet bag and extra cab were a super-sweet touch, too. Leave it to Lori to make lemons (migraine hell) into lemonade (crochet clutch)!
