Bearhouse Beads. I am noticing a definite trend towards matching items, in particular earrings and necklaces. These smaller sets, comprising a focal bead with four complementary smaller beads, have been particularly popular with my jewellery designer customers recently. I have had a lot of fun coming up with my own colour combinations, as well as working with my clients to bring their own colour ideas to life. https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/bearhousebeads Facebook: Bearhouse Beads

Threadabead. It was a lovely hot and sunny May in the UK and many of us were enjoying time in our gardens and the outdoors.
