HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Happy Holidays!

Let me start with the good news: After having to pull a second winner from last month’s FREE GIFT giveaway, unlike our first winner, Ragina Young did respond and her free gift was delivered safe and sound. Congratulations again, Ragina!

On to the Holidays! For us, October brings Halloween, and then as my sister says, “The downfall of all of our pocket books” begins in November. That is because we have many birthdays starting in November and then on to Thanksgiving, more Birthdays in December (including my son who will be 2), and then of course Christmas…and so on, and so on.

With the addition of over 6000 products to the site, we have added some new items in the Holiday Jewelry section with more being added later today and throughout the week. Keep in mind while some of these items are novelty items (like the Santa watches), others can be worn daily like the necklace below:

Swarovski Snowflake Pendant

Also, don’t forget that when you are gifting that bottle of cheer you can do it in style with our decorative Wine/Bottle Gift Bags. Please select your favorite color bag from the drop down menu.

As always, I love to design custom pieces that are not listed on the site. For those of you interested in seeing some new pieces that ARE for sale but not yet listed on the site you can visit our Facebook website here. There we have a few albums of some older items as well as MANY new items that were never listed on the website, as they are being used for Private sales to registered website members, and Facebook “Friends”. Here is just an example of items not listed:

I have been making the above bracelet for more than 2 years, and Swarovski just keeps adding more and more beautiful colors of this particular crystal to their line. Most of these bracelets that I have made have all been special order with a mix of colors, or as in the one pictured below, as a donation to the St. Joseph’s Prep “Hawk Huddle” fundraiser. My nephew plays football for them so that was one of the ways I showed my support. This bracelet is comprised of The Prep’s school colors.

St. Joseph's Prep Hawk Huddle Swarovski Bracelet. Donated by Isabella's Beads and raffled off to one lucky winner!

If you desire to have a standard “Pointed Cluster” bracelet made (in any single color or mixed colors) you can do so for $135. Please Contact Us with your special request. We’ll keep you posted on new items being added. Don’t forget to add us on Facebook to stay current with all Private Sale items!

Holiday gifts under $25!!!!

Filed under: Glass Beads, Handmade Jewelry, Holiday Jewelry

Here are a few new items that I have posted in the store. They are novelty watches featuring a glittering Santa or a Christmas tree for the holidays, and you can find them in the Holiday Collections section.

There is also one new addition to the Necklaces category. I have been busy with themed jewelry for the holidays so I haven’t made any glass bead necklaces in the past week, and I still have at least 10 one-of-a-kind beads left to use. I don’t have a favorite because they are all so very beautiful and believe me when I tell you that the pictures NEVER do them justice. This necklace is made with a deep ocean blue electroform bead handmade by Lisa Atchison. The leaf is hand picked from her backyard. This handmade pendant is gently suspended from a copper bail, which hangs on hand-dyed silk ribbon from Jamn Glass. With this pendant I did something just a bit different and made Swarovski crystal components in complimentary colors and dangled them from the base of the bead for added sparkle! As usual with the silk ribbon necklaces, the copper coil closure allows for an adjustable length before tying closed.

Are you looking for stocking stuffers? Check out our “Great Gifts” section of the store where you can search our inventory by price. We have a ton of great gifts that would make perfect stocking stuffers for under $25, and many wonderful and unique gifts under $10 from hair jewelry, to macramé bracelets, to brocade satin lipstick cases.

Here’s an original idea…every woman could use a Purse Hanger. You don’t think about it until you actually have one. You never have to go to a restaurant and place your bag on the chair or on the floor, when you go to the casino and sit at the blackjack or poker table you can conveniently hang your purse close to you. They are available in 8 great styles! Select yours from the drop down menu when making your purchase.
We also carry Phone Finders. Keep your phone handy - just hook it to a “Finders for Fones” for a functional and fashionable way to decorate your purse. And we carry Key Finders so that you never have to dig in the bottom of your purse for your keys again! These unique gifts come in a variety of styles, more than 60 styles from which you can choose. Just visit our Cell Phone Accessories category or click on the photo below.

Meet Beary Spoiled Bear. These adorable “Kritters” can be used as either purse charms or key chains. There are 12 from which to choose and each has its own personality. Please see each one to make sure you select the Kritter that best suits your personality! You can find these in our Purse Charm section of the store.

How about gifts for your Children’s schoolteachers? These handmade beaded bookmarkers will be one of the best gifts they ever receive. There aren’t many listed in the store right now because the pictures are not very good, and many are already sold so I have to make more and then re-photograph them. However, all of them are custom made and I can do anything that you like in any color. The Millefiori bookmarkers to the right are customizable with over 10 different styles of Millefiori beads. Choose your favorite from the drop down menu when ordering.

If you’d like something custom made using other materials, please E-mail me for inquiries.
