The Canadian snowboys return..

-
I don't think there's snow in my hometown in northern Canada yet, but sadly..or maybe happily [if you're a snow boarder or skier]..it's not far away. There's usually a skiff of snow by Hallowe'en, sometimes even earlier. Not enough for snowmen maybe but enough to make you start putting your woolies on.

I love making these little guys..

even though they all have the same features, each one is different and unique. Kind of like us. :-)

Available now on Etsy, Canadian Snowboys [and girls]..each with a woolie toque and scarf. One piece bead to string as a wintery charm [at about 1" in length they're also very sweet as package accents when you wrap your gifts] or to use as a focal in your Christmas designs.

I will be offering one free snowboy with every purchase totaling 40.00 or more in the Bead shop from now through to February 2nd. These will be surprise snowboys..so not the ones that are listed. Each will be just as sweet and cute as the ones listed though..promise.



...more to come!

No snow here in my part of Canada yet! (I am in no hurry for the snow) However, I did want to mention to everyone who reads this that Debs Snow boys are adorable! I bought one a couple of years ago for my daughter and he was so cute!

oh thank you Susan..much appreciated! :-)
yeah..I'm about to go through another winter without snow and I'm still not crying about it! When its time though, we will find a place to make home that has seasons. We both like a little snow in the winter months..emphasis on 'little'.

My husband and I lived in Ontario for several years and always seemed to have LOTS of snow by Halloween (except one year). Used to take a friend's kids out to trick or treat and always felt so sorry for them because the costumes they had worked so hard on were covered up by big parkas and snow pants! Your snow boys are brilliant!

For the love of Rocks

I come from a long line of dedicated rock hounds. I know that because my mother  told me this one day as we walked back from getting our mail in rural Port Alberni,  BC. The 10 minute walk was sometimes much longer as we searched out special  looking pebbles or of course, the'wishing stones' which on Vancouver Island were  usually granite with a skinny stripe of quartz that encircled the entire stone. My beautiful mother who we lost in July 2023. My older sister and I. We've been lucky to bring back precious [to me] earth stones from many parts of  the world.   Lake Tiberias in Israel, Persian Gulf area, Dingle, Ireland, Isle of Sky area,  Edinburgh,  and Inverness areas in Scotland, a walk back to our hotel in  Strasbourg,  France.  The Levent Valley near Malatya, Turkey sometimes referred to as the Grand  Canyons of the Anatolia. The stone in my palm almost always brings back the day.  My regret is that I didn't label th...

Win yourself a handmade glass bead!

I'm feeling a little guilty for being so completely absent from you all for the last couple of months... the above focal bead is my way of winning your hearts back. ;) ♥ Leave me a comment and you'll go into a draw for the above bead. I will announce a winner in a week or so~ ♥ It seems my marriage has gone the way of many before me and we are now struggling with the transition of becoming single people. ( Notice how I've avoided the d word? I'll tackle that one another day...:) I've had to supplement my glass with a more regular pay cheque and my balancing time skills have been put to the test. So...that's the reason for my sketchy, delayed, absent minded, half hearted and bemused posts lately. And while some things may be taking a back seat for a time..(for instance this blog will be lucky to get a weekly posting! although I do pop on to read all of your comments) I will find my way through this and be stronger ..
