Hello everyone, and a belated Happy New Year! I hope your festivities were more eventful than mine. I was up in Portland, Oregon with the full intent of attending a Prince vs. Michael Jackson DJ battle to ring in the new year, but unfortunately my plans were foiled. My husband and I ended up with the flu. At the very least, though, we camped out in style in our fabulous room at
The RiverPlace Hotel and watched bad TV and had room service. What more can you ask for? Besides tissues, that is ;)

So let's get down to it, then, shall we? I began gathering a nice collection of interesting crystal beads a while ago, and ended up with several gorgeous pieces. After getting back from vacation, I finally added them to the site. A particular favorite is this lush and long sterling silver
necklace that features a purely voluptuous faceted crystal drop pendant. The necklace itself it 30" long, and the pendant is about 1" x 3/4". I just love it! It goes with anything, and will always have a place in my personal collection. Simply put, this piece rocks!
