This past Christmas I made this for my Mom. She loves the ocean, always has, and loves beach-like beads. When I saw these from Catherine Steele, I knew they were a going to be perfect. If you haven't seen her beads, it's a must. Don't they just look like tiny waves, each having it's own ocean inside?  I love them!

Lots of copper findings, D. Vainio roses, and tons of Swarovski crystal... freshwater pearls... bits of this and that... well, it's all here and it makes up the perfect beach, if you ask me. :)

I actually don't know if my Mom knows what that charm is, because in all the Christmas hullabaloo I don't know if I told her. LOL Anyway, the charm (seen above) is a sunshine. I love this style because a lot of the sun's out there (for purchase) are huge and always have a face on them, not the style I was looking for for this piece.

Whoa! My love, my darling,
I hunger for your touch,
Alone. Lonely time.
And time goes by, so slowly,
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love to me.

Lonely rivers flow to the

sea, to the sea,
To the open arms of the sea.
Lonely rivers sigh, wait
for me, wait for me,
I'll be coming home, wait for me.

Whoa! My love, my darling,
I hunger, hunger!, for your love,
For love. Lonely time.
And time goes by, so slowly,
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love to me.
