Happy Monday

Just want to share the new stones I purchased at the gem show this past weekend. I bought some iolite and labradorite. I can't wait to design some new items for my shop this week. I already had a great start to the week with a sale online last night.
It is also my hubby's bday weeks! I will be putting my party hat on for the next 2 weeks. We usually celebrate with birthday month and I think we started with a big bang---- Costa Rica! So Happy Monday everyone! Have a great week!

Seashell jewelry

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Saturday! The creative juices have finally been flowing as of last night! It took a week to get inspired after having been on vacation to Costa Rica. I cannot complain but I was wondering what was wrong with me! So today my hubby has been helping me go through the seashells my friend and I collected on the Sta. Teresa beach. He has been drilling holes in the shells that I want to design with. What a great day! I already had a sale on an item I designed last night! Thank you! Happy day, happy day!

We are back from our trip to Costa Rica. I swear I should have read this Costa Rica website prior to going for packing info. Amazing website with great tips on what to pack. I found it late while we were waiting for our flight to C.R. Check it out if you are heading to Tico land.
I want to share a couple of photographs from our amazing trip. We took 7 days and drove to various parts of Costa Rica. We drove to Arenal, Monteverde, Montezuma, Mal Pais and Santa Teresa. Beautiful country! I am so glad we were able to join our good friends for this amazing road trip! What an adventure! You can check out more of our photographs on my flickr set.

I think next trip might be to Guatemala with some other friends. I've been once before but fell in love with Guatemala and want to go back!
