pretty little things

remember that time i went to ornamentea and bought a bunch of pretty beads? yes, well, the purchased beads sat for a long time in a pretty dish on my dresser. i liked to look at them and feel fancy. i tried to impress others with them, too. "oh, those? dahling, those are my decorative beads." news flash. zero people are impressed with beads in a dish. welp, it was worth a try. might as well put them to good use. have a look-see.

these earrings make me think of chips and black bean salsa. i think it's the turquoise.

these guys are headed to swank!

the colorful beads make these earrings look so summery, and even though i'm not in love with this season, i think i can at least pretend to be when i have these babies hanging from my ears.

i've recently been following a new blog and etsy store that has the prettiest handmade earrings ever. the artist, megan, is totes adorbs and is a wiz at making pretty little things. her earring designs are very simple but so gorgeous. check her out!

do you have any new blogs that you've discovered? what's been giving you inspiration?
