This Week's Blog Post

I am posting a day early this week to spend some extra quality time with my man. The weather does not look the greatest but it will not stop us from having a good time! The ebay shop will reopen Saturday evening since packages would not be able to ship until Monday anyway.

Smokey Quartz
Smokey quartz is a gorgeous brown that can vary from light to dark in color.
These beads are mostly dark with the exception of the rondelles. This is a heavy statement piece available at Miss Val’s Creations.
A Ride up The Coast

Jim and I took a ride along the coast on a gorgeous Sunday.
This beach stop was super rocky.  I believe this was in New Hampshire, but could have been Maine.
Talk about difficult to walk on!
People stack rocks here (I have no idea if there is a meaning behind this but it looks cool).

Fair Ride on Wheels
This was just funny. See that odd thing by the toll booth?
Jim and I were on the highway one afternoon and this is what we drove by.
Jim had to catch up to it so I could get pictures!


It was my first time ever seeing a carnival ride being transported! It looks really out of place amongst all the normal vehicles around!
It made for a good laugh!!!

Thank you for stopping by! I wish you all a great week ahead! ~Val

  1. Looks like you had another fabulous outing. Enjoy your weekend.

    And, I usually schedule my posts when my schedule gets crazy. Sometimes I schedule a whole week at a time and I'm not even near my computer. It's a time saver for sure. :-)

  2. Oh those rocks are so gorgeous! I have a major thing for rocks which is probably why I have such a thing for beads.

    It must have felt good to get out there and be by the water.Have a great weekend!

  14. The rocky beach is really beautiful. We don't have beaches like that here. I love that you just HAD to take photos of that ride. It must have been fun to see that on the road.

  21. Beautiful necklace, Val! I think it would be perfect for fall/winter, and unfortunately that's not too far away. :-(

    I've only seen this once (carnival ride being transported), and it was a strange site indeed. Kinda scary if you have to pass it on a highway I would imagine!

    I love all of those rocks. Sure made for some wonderful textures in your photographs of them.

    Have a wonderful week ahead.
    xo.
