June Notes

Half the year is almost gone!  Can't believe we are in June already, but I'm excited for the warm days, the summer events and hopefully lots of beautiful weather with not too much heat, especially for the outdoor events in July and August.

As far as events coming up for NotesNBling, June has been a month I left open for helping husband with a BBQ cooking event beginning of June (which has dropped off this year so I'll be looking for a beginning of June event for the jewelry) and then his TNT fireworks tent selling season starts June 21 through July 5 at Coborns Grocery Parking lot in Sauk Rapids.

So the next events for NotesNBling will be starting back up in July:

NOTESNBLING JEWELRY:

The last few weeks have been busy with life things such as helping a friend, appointments and a mini vacation to Illinois - hunting for treasures going thrifting.
But May was super busy creating things.... so here are just a few examples:

The sparkle bracelets have been so loved by my customers I had to do a major RESTOCK!  I made a few more with NEW colors and new designs!!  
The Square Hoop earrings are handcrafted, hammered non-tarnish wire and I added genuine Turquoise stone chips on the inside.  The sunflower earrings are all Czech beads with tiny brass Vintaj leaves and the last pair of earrings in the pictures are also with vintage Czech beads, Vintaj chain and handcrafted middle bar.  All earrings are on sterling silver ear wires.  

I'll be busy in the coming days creating more fun items. Amongst those on my list to do are some little girls bracelets, bracelets featuring a summery look with more freshwater pearls and turquoise and necklaces as well for the summer.
Can't wait to show you!  See you at the shows!

LASTLY:

I've had such a fun trip into Amish country in Illinois last month! We rented an Airbnb and had a relaxing time there and I mapped out a route in the neighborhood for my daily walks that I'm determined to keep up since I joined the gym this year.
It was fun discovering new thrift & vintage shops, enjoy some Amish food, grab my favorite spices at the Amish store (only place that has them) which I had discovered a few years ago when my friend lived in that area and I went to visit her.  
It was great seeing the friends she made while she lived there and connecting with a fellow artist as well.

So as we've been on the road, this scripture is just perfect:
Joshua 1:9 - Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

Sometimes on the roads....yikes, you have to be courageous these days.  LOL.  Thankfully we were able to take back roads most of the way!   So much more relaxing and lots of scenery and other sweet surprises!

Until next time....  enjoy the warmer days and sunshine!
