~ CREATIONS For MAY ~ 




I had been quite a busy bee for a few nights a week ago when kids were already fast asleep cuddled in their beds . While I was left all alone finally infront of my laptop rejoicing and telling myself that at last ... I can go online and check what's on . Happilyy knowing that at last my laptop was finally free for me ( kids do their homework using my pc so I need to queue for the chance to use it ! ) With my eyes wide open before midnight like an owl looking for a prey at night, I was figuring out what to do first of all .  Make a decision to either update my sites ( my poor website http://www.my-secret-corner.com/ needs urgent attention now as compared to my ebay site. AAArrrggghhhhh ! ) or to maybe create some new blings when I perfectly know that I still got loads of creations hiding in the corners of my beading room LOL.
In between never ending chats and sneaking into my emails which is undeniably always bombarded by " Add Me " as a friend notices from people I had never ever seen before. Hmmnnnnnn let me think ..., ok, decision was made ... I can't resist the hands that always point to the direction of  what else ... Beading !

So here are the fruits of my night labor for you to enjoy ...

Vermeil is a more expensive version of gold plated jewelry. It consists of a sterling silver base that is coated or plated with gold. And again, if the longest lifespan is in the first place for you, your option is vermeil or gold filled jewelry. Vermeil jewelry wears off less than gold plated one

Birth Flower for May



May fairy

The Flower for May is the Hawthorn Bush.
... which has little flowers with white petals that come out in May, hence it is also known as the May Bush or the May Flower (also famous as this is what the Pilgrim Father's named their ship after)
When they bloom, the Hawthorn hedgerows turn into a beautiful white color.
The Hawthorn can bloom all through the summer, first appearing in late spring, which is why it is known as the May Flower.
