I was so excited to meet Kaari Meng at Silver Bella this year since I signed up to go with her to The Chateau Getaway in the South of France next July! I met Kaari the evening of the Vendor Faire and she was kind enough to introduce me to Jeanne who is coming to France too!! Now I am even more excited knowing a couple of the ladies that I'll be able to spend an amazing trip with!I had purchased a number of bracelet kits from the French General previously, but never knew how to start making them. So I waited for Silver Bella to take the Bracelet class Kaari taught on Saturday.
I was so happy to have Kaari show me how to create such cool pieces of jewelry. Here is the piece we made in class.
Since then I have made 4 more bracelets, a necklace and earrings!!! I just ordered a slew of new beads and findings from French General this week so I can create more pieces!!
I bought this cute holiday bracelet kit at the Vendor Faire Friday night at Silver Bella.
I can't wait to make some more! Below is a Rach-ology Design Original :)
My friend Jen in Chicago is planning on having a Trunk Show for me to showcase my creations next March, so I better get busy!!
Time for more mashed potatoes....

Kaari was the coolest. You are going to have a wonderful trip to France. Take me in you suitcase. I promise not to cough! I just saw Jennifer Murphy's little stuffed elephant at Tinsel Trading. It made me think of you! Happy Holidays.
