Brown …

 , , 0

I cannot pretend to be impartial about the colours. I rejoice with the brilliant ones, and am genuinely sorry for the poor browns. Winston Churchill Brown. A colour so maligned, but full of such deliciousness as coffee, cream, brown sugar, chocolate, honey, topaz, wheat, grain, spices, beer, molasses, amber, coconut, ginger, chestnut. And toast. Do not go to a diner with me if you will be embarrassed by the following: Overworked server with sensible shoes and a mile of piled, bleached hair: “White toast or brown, hon?” Me: “Isn’t all toast brown?” Maybe it’s just the word. Brown-Frown-UpsideDown. Brown is …

White after Labour Day

 , , , , , , 0

At some point in my life, I discovered that there were dumb fashion rules. Actually – I am stunningly fashion-challenged, so I tend to think most fashion rules are … questionable … . 😉 Anyway – a quick google regarding “white after labour day” gets you a host of articles agreeing that it’s not a thing and you should wear white whenever you want. (In my case, not in the muddy-puppy season.) Which is good, because these White Jade beads are too yummy to not wear! In both Matte and Glossy – they evoke crisp white shirts, smooth clean sheets, …

Delicious Little Bon-Bons

 , , , 0

Today’s selection consists of some bite-size, tasty little beads with yummy textures. May I present an appetizer of some adorable little mush-butts – mushroom button beads – if you please? The menu is ripe with contradictions – these are shaped like the delicate petals of a flower, but colored like exotic granite. And if you are fond of Eggplant, well – good for you. I’m not going to fight you for it. The color yes, but not the actual vegetable. 😉 If you have an etch to scratch, then these beads are etchy. Would you like some cutlery with that? …
