Beach inspired jewelry and a day out in Carmel CA........

Talking about enjoying the beach and the ocean........the girls and I were lucky enough to spend a day in Carmel, CA earlier in the week.  This is such a cute town with a fabulous beach and an off leash dogs on the beach policy!!!!   We were able to have lunch at Doris Day's Cyprus Inn (also very doggy friendly) - we sat in their gorgeous flowered enclosed patio - http://www.cypress-inn.com/pets.html and romp on the lovely white sandy beach (see pic below)......here is a pair of earrings I made which were inspired by these enjoyable outings.....

Silver shell beads topped and tailed with beautiful appatite rondelles in various ocean hues with a tiny blue topaz rondelle at the bottom.  As always sterling silver wire, headpins and earwires.  L:ightweight with a fun swing and deliberately different and original for each ear!!

I am sure many of us are inspired by the nature around us.........
