Rose Quartz and Shell Necklace
This is my latest necklace! The shells are called green
everlasting curly shells. I love the soft pink of their insides so I placed
them so that side shows more than the opposite which is more brown and green.
The rose quartz is so pretty with them!
The freeform wire pendant was one I showed on my blog a
while back. I thought I wanted to do more with it but over time I just liked it
as is! When making the necklace I realized it needed something to tie into the
strand, hence 2 little rose quart beads dangling! This piece is available at Miss Val’s Creations.
Chocolate Fondue
This was Jim and my first chocolate fondue experience together.
So fun!!! We melted various high quality chocolate bars together.
We chopped up the delicious fruits.
Dipped.
Mmmm! The orange was both our favorites!
Jim had the brilliant idea of pouring the leftover chocolate
(it was so rich that there was tons left) onto nut clusters to create turtle
like treats without the caramel.
They did not freeze
solid and kept for almost a month in there until all eaten! I look forward to
playing with chocolate again.
Wanelo
Does anyone use Wanelo? I am curious if it seems like a good
social networking tool or not. I see it mentioned here and there in forums by
Etsy users. So I started playing with it and have a whopping 1 follower! Like
most social media, this is fun too. It is nowhere near as fun as Pinterest
though!
Thank you for stopping by! I hope you all have a great week ahead!!! ~Val
Delicious post! Stunning necklace! And I must admit I never ever had chocolate fondue but always wanted to taste one and it looks so yummy.
ReplyDeleteYour necklace is Gorgeous!!! Those shells are fantastic and your freeform is so cool.
ReplyDeleteChocolate Fondue...you have my mouth watering! What a great idea for the leftover chocolate. I have Lindt Chili Chocolate every day. Just a little :-)
What a stunning necklace, Val! Those shells are unique!
ReplyDeleteYummy chocolate fondue. I love the Lindt chocolates :)
I've heard of Wanelo, but I don't think I'll be adding another social media site anytime soon. FB and Twitter take up so much time already ;-)
have a great weekend,
Duni :)
Mmmm, chocolate fondu! Looks like you enjoy the super-dark chocolate.

A frozen chocolate covered banana was a treat from my childhood, and chocolate orange is soooo good. Your necklace is a real attention getter, wow. I haven't looked at Wanelo, hope you get lots of lookers and buyers if you keep your toe in another online pool.
ReplyDeleteOh my! Chocolate covered fruit looks good, I love chocolate as long as is not dark. I love the little pink beads and the shells combination.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Wanelo before.
Have a nice weekend!

Ow fondue, haven't done that in the longest time but would be fun to try again, I remember it being very delicious.
I hope you have a great week.

Chocolate fondue sounds like it was a lot of fun, and using the leftover chocolate and making turtles was such a great idea. Your new necklace is very funky.

Beautiful beads, I love the green and soft pink combination.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried a chocolate fondue but it does look rather delicious :D
Long time since the last visit... That's the reason I try to stick on where I am, if not getting lost between social networks, my projects, surfing and searching, etc.
ReplyDeleteAnd your necklace is gorgeous!!!
The necklace is adorable! It looks very subtle. The colors and shapes are so lovely!
ReplyDeleteThis game with chocolate and fruit looks so fun and delicious!
Hi Val, Love your necklace and those shells are gorgeous. Love the added hanging wire accent with beads. All your creations are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the fruit dipped treats. The turtles look so yummy and a healthy snack.
I have not visited or heard of the site you share.
Thank you for stopping by while I was spending time with my family visiting. They left now and I am exhausted. LOL
Have a wonderful week.
Hugs!!
Have been on Wanelo pretty much from the start. Have had a couple of sales that I can directly attribute to Wanelo. I use it mainly to establish those backlinks that Google likes so much. Just followed you.
ReplyDeleteDoes your post ever look luscious, both the necklace and the fondue!
The shells look so pretty and I have given up chocolate for lent, not long to go until I can eat it!
ReplyDeleteYour Jim is a smart fellow with the chocolate!
ReplyDeleteMy cat died this past Friday and I;ve been enjoying the therapeutic use of chocolate ever since :)
The shells remind me of the shells used on Jingle dresses! So pretty.
Oh yum! That fondue looks divine. And a great idea to freeze the leftovers!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Something a Tahitian princess might wear, or a mermaid!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I just LOVE those shells!! I am so sorry that I've been so busy lately and haven't been visiting my favorite blogs as much as I'd like! I'm hoping that changes soon!
ReplyDeleteLovely necklace! You should have just eaten that yummy chocolate instead of spoiling it with fruit. *blah* Okokok---- this is why YOUR skinny... and I'm fat.... lol okokokok, eat your darn fruit with your chocolate! *wink*
ReplyDeleteI love your work!
