The Wonderful Lesley and Kari's Delicious Bead Soup!

Let us see how many things I can fit in one blog post... or if I will end up breaking it in two lol.  Where to begin? I suppose to be fair we should start with the farthest back thing that matters :).  Right before Christmas I received a lovely package in the mail all the way from the UK, the thrill from holding something that has traveled so far and from such a sweet soul is indescribably wonderful.  Lesley Watt is an incredibly talented artisan who lives all the way in Dorset, I have loved reading her blog for quite some time now and she is a warm personality (I highly recommend following her if you don't!).  To own a piece of her wonderful jewelry means a lot to me.  Here are some examples of her work:

Aren't they lovely?  Those are two of my favorites!  And here is the gorgeous piece that I wore to my Christmas gatherings:

I hope you will check out her blog and shop!  Here are her links:

Next up... are you ready?  I AM!  Getting a package full of bead soup in the mail is pure heaven!  I have been exchanging emails with my sweet and wonderful partner this time, Kari Carrigan (she is awesome, by the way), and couldn't wait to see what she sent me!  When I opened the package... I totally squealed.  I admit it! I am a squealer, I love pretty packages, ask my partner last time (Elisabeth Auld) I squealed for hers too!  LOVE!  Kari used the sweetest pink gerber daisy!  And then I opened it and the oohs and aahs just didn't stop!  I decided I am going to put up a main pic of the whole awesome soup and then I made a little slideshow for those of you who want to drool over goodies with me ;).  

Here is the link to the wonderful Kari's blog:  http://weegemsdesigns.blogspot.com  Hopefully she will be getting my soup soon!  I can't wait!  

Talk to you soon about Ingrid... ;)
