Hello

It has been way too long since I participated in Bead Table Wednesdays!  What’s been on my bead table lately?  It’s that time of the year and I’ve been working on a few teacher’s gifts.  Recently I hand-selected two beautiful focal pendants at the Gem and Jewelry Show.  I had two teachers in mind that I knew like to wear a heavier style of jewelry.

I found a jasper I had never heard of before.  When I saw the selection of Royal Sahara Jasper pendants, I was drawn in by their bands of color. I learned that quality Royal Sahara Jasper has limited availability, and was found relatively recently (2006) by Oasis Prospecting.  You can learn all about Janet and George Sechler’s discovery in the Eastern Sahara Desert on their website.

Over the long weekend we got to see our share of rock formations. In fact, we experienced the outdoors in all of its beauty while visiting my husband’s family in southwestern VA.  We took a stroll along the trails of the Cascades, home of the renowned waterfalls.

Have a great week and thanks for stopping by!
