Today's Listing: Black, Hematite, Silver, Gray and Crystal with a Dragon Charm

Today's new listing in my Etsy shop:

Tons of beads in black, hematite, silver, gray and crystal. I added a metal dragon charm on the end. Doing such a monochromatic combination is always tricky, so I tried to throw in as many different shapes and sizes of beads as I could fit. I think the combination still lends a masculine feel to the bookmark.

Finally adding some new things to my shop

Since the Holiday Shopping Season is upon us, I've been trying to make a ton of new bookmarks. I've got the middle pieces for almost 40 new ideas started, in every color of the rainbow. From fairies, wizards, and dragons, to ladybugs, butterflies, and flowers, to snowmen, trees, and snowflakes, there should be something to appeal to everyone. (If not, contact me, and I'll create something special for you!)

I've been adding dangles and charms whenever I have a free moment at swim lessons or dance practice. So far, I have 5 completed bookmarks that have been listed in my Etsy shop. Two of them are for Breast Cancer Awareness and feature "Hope" Ribbons. $1 from the sale of any bookmarks in my Pink Ribbon section will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).





Two more bookmarks are "girly-girly," all pink and sparkly with charms that have Swarovski crystals on them.





The fifth one if my tribute to the Black 'n Gold fans of The Burgh.  It features the standard black and gold beads, with some white, red, blue, and yellow from the Steelers emblem thrown in.



Stay tuned for what I hope to be many, many more bookmarks in the coming weeks!

New Beaded Bookmark in my Etsy Shop

Just got this photographed and listed in my shop last night. It's not really a "new" bookmark, I guess. It originally had a pewter charm on the end that read "Love Much" on one side, and "Laugh Often" on the other. But someone requested that charm for a custom order before Christmas, and well, that was the last one I had and had to take it off of this bookmark. So it took me until yesterday to add a new charm, and re-photograph the bookmark. I actually think the gold-tone butterfly charm looks pretty good since I had originally used gold-tone findings when making the bookmark. (Now I need to get more gold-tone butterfly charms, lol!)



Beaded bookmark in vibrant shades of blue, purple, orange, and green beads, with a cute gold-toned butterfly charm on the end.



Makes a great gift for someone who loves to read or for yourself. Imagine curling up with a good book and some hot cocoa! Even prettier than the photographs in real life. It's hard to capture the sparkle.

Each bookmark is designed and handmade by Suzie's Armoire, with ~11" of tiny seed beads in the middle to fit inside most book sizes. Just like snowflakes, all of Suzie's Armoire bookmarks are unique--I have never made the same design twice!

NOTE: The bookmarks contain VERY small parts and are rather delicate. Do not pull/yank on beaded items. Products are not intended for small children, especially children under 3, unless otherwise indicated.
