...to the Ball! I hope you all have your ball gowns and glass slippers ready! Those are a must for any Royal Ball.
And don't worry, a beautiful carriage is already on it's way!
It measures 2 7/8" wide at the widest part, and 1 3/8" tall. I've attached it to some icy blue organza, and candy pink satin ribbons. I didn't tie the ribbons together yet. This way you can tie it onto what every you like - rear view mirror, Christmas trees, doorknobs, etc.
I can totally see this hanging in some sweet little princess's bedroom window! ^_^
That's all for now, but look for lots more beaded treasures in the coming weeks!
Hope you are all having a wonderful week!
On the very first trip I took to Disney World when I was about 8 years old, I very distinctly remember riding the monorail back to the Ticket and Transportation Center, after a wonderful, exciting day at the Magic Kingdom.
I was sitting at the window, and was able to look out at Cinderella's Castle, as it shifted colors in the darkness. I couldn't take my eyes off of it. The monorail came to a stop in the lobby of the Contemporary Resort; I could see the top of the Chef Mickey's sign, rising up above the entrance to the restaurant. I could hear people bustling about down below. I couldn't believe the monorail had just entered into the lobby of a hotel! All too soon, we were off again. The next stop was the TTC. My family and I walked slowly down the exit ramp. I gazed up as the monorail glided off to it's next destination, Disney's Polynesian Resort.
And mingled in among all of this... I remember a friendly voice... "Please stand clear of the doors." "¡Por Favor Mantenganse Alejado de las Puertas!" You hear that, and you know you are there.
My huge love for the monorail, and this particular memory, was the inspiration for this new bracelet.
Handmade using seed beads, Swarovski crystals, and silver plated chain and findings.
It's a sweet reminder of all the wonderful places the monorail can take you.
Be whisked away to exciting early morning breakfasts filled with Mickey waffles, breakfast pizza, and lovable characters. Fancy afternoon teas filled with elegant china, fluffy scones, and delicate swan pastries. Tropical Polynesian luaus with daring fire dancers and dancing hula girls. And, one of the most important destinations... A Magic Kingdom filled with pirates, princess, ghosts, spaceships, fairies, Wishes... And a castle. All just a monorail ride away.
I hope this bracelet will serve as a happy little reminder for you all as well.
Have a magical day!
I just added the Beaded Cupcake Ornament party favors to my shop!
Also, I'm giving away free sample sets of my new scented beads with any orders placed in March! This week you get to chose between pink Pink Grapefruit scented, and purple Grape Bubblegum scented beads! (Keep a look-out for chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, and banana as well!)
I've been working on these off and on for a couple of years now! (They are handmade from 'scratch', so I do all the mixing and measuring of specific ingredients; hence the reason why they have been taking a while!) I'm finally really happy with them. I think you guys will love them, too! They are so so fun to use for bracelets! The natural heat of your body will bring out the stronger scents, so you can get a nice little whiff of them now and then. ^_^ I've had great fun mixing different scents on the same bracelets, too! Reminds me of Jelly Belly recipes! Hehe!
The sample sets consist of three beads that are each about 10mm. When the beads are actually for sale in my shop, the sets will consist of 10 beads that each measure between 8mm and 10mm. Look for them at the end of March! If you end up getting a sample set this month, and just have to have more before I get them listed, just let me know! I'm always happy to help you guys out!
A lovely girl on Flickr told me that they look like bon bons... And sure enough! They truly do! I've never had bon bons before, but I'd be willing to trade some of these beads if anyone can get some to me!
And now, I must go back to the bead factory. Teehee... ^_^
I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far!
I'm such a slacker! lol
I've gotten so wrapped up with working on new things, that I haven't taken the time to give any attention to my poor blog. Shame on me! I really want to do better this year, but I keep getting into so many things! lol
First of all, we had a wonderful time at Disney World! We witnessed lots of magic, and had a blast! My favorite part... Tickets to Cirque du Soleil, courtesy of The Sweetie's uncle! What an awesome show! I spent most of the time with my mouth hanging open! :) It was indescribable! And of course, there were the record lows that were set in Orlando while we were there... A couple of days it was below freezing! It was too crazy to be annoying!
Here's a few (big!) pictures of the resort... Disney's Pop Century Resort!
Since we took (i.e. I took!) nearly 1000 pictures and videos, and it's hard to pick just a few to show you all, I'll just post a few every now and then. ^_^
I also got no less than a billion ideas on the trip... So there are lots of beaded treasures in the works!
And some very cool new scented beads, which I'm really excited about. I plan on giving away free sample sets of these to people who make purchases in my shop during March. :) I'll have an announcement when that begins! I've been working on this special recipe forever. They're not polymer clay beads or purchased beads with a little fragrance added or anything like that. They are hand made beads that I have created from scratch, and that I've added sooo many different inclusions to! They are amazing, and truly unique!
I think that's all the updates for now! But definately check back soon, I'll have a whole truck load of new goodies before long!
Hope you are all having a wonderful evening!
Well, guys... This will be my last post before we leave for Walt Disney World on Monday! I absolutely can not wait!!! I can already hear Pop Century calling my name. ^_^ Hehe...
When we get back, I have quite a few items that I plan on adding to my shop. :D Fairy items, Disney World themed items, new beaded cupcake ornaments, and maybe even some new sweet summer treats! (It may be a bit too early for those, we'll just have to see!)
Here's a little sneakity peak at the cupcake ornaments:
I'll give a full report when we get back, too! With pictures and everything.
I hope you all have a wonderful two weeks! Stay warm!
