Sorry I am late on my posting. . . again. I was out of town yet again, and since my laptop could explode and any giving moment (ok, it might just stop working any time) I don't take it places. There will be more on the weekend in just a minute, but for now, I have to share with you the jewelry pieces from this week that I like most!
I used orange and ivory czech glass pearls and some gold glass seed beads on this bracelet. I liked the color combination, but I didn't think it would be something I would consider wearing since I am not comfortable with orange and gold, but I was wrong. I really like it! But I am going to save it for my booth (which is in a week.).
This necklace is a very simple design, and I was really happy with how it turned out. It's constructed of a variety of silver plated chain. This piece (as are most of the ones I have lately made) is also for my booth next Monday.
As you may or may not know, my birthday was on Wednesday. I had a fairly ordinary day really. I went out for Thai food with my mom, taught some violin students, and performed with my quintet. After my performance I had angel food cake with strawberries and cream with my family, and then watched Tron all by myself. It was quite nice really. I decided to celebrate my birthday with a sale in my Etsy shop too! Coupon code BRTHDYPRTY23 gets you 23% off any item in my shop until Wednesday. It could be a great opportunity to get a mothers' day gift!
Anyway, as a sort of extended birthday celebration/Easter vacation, I went to Las Vegas with my mom, little sister and little brother. I know that sounds lame, but we have such fun! We did a little shopping at Victoria's Secret and visited the Ferrari showroom at the Wynn on Thursday. Unfortunately, photography wasn't allowed in the showroom :(
On Friday, we made a quick trip to the Bellagio. I love visiting the Atrium there, and here are the reasons why:
I love the butterfly exhibit they have every spring! It's hard to get good shots though, because they are behind glass that reflects the light in an unattractive manner, and people who walk by. But sometimes I like the photos for this very reason! Here's one example of this:
I also put a fun texture on this photo. What do you think? My mom likes it, but you know how moms can be!
We trekked to Caesar's Palace next to check out the Forum Shops. It's really fun! Here's a photo:
It's so sad that I can't take pictures of the gorgeous designer clothing and jewelry and purses and accessories, etc. that we saw inside! Maybe one day I will be able to afford something in one of the shops!
After that, we just made the long boring drive to my grandma's house. Blah. We got stuck for a little while too, in this lovely (yes, that was sarcasm) part of the Nevada desert:
It's good to be home again!
That's all for today. Happy Easter!
