• Summer Forecast!!!

  Date: 2010.07.04 | Category: earrings | Response: 0

  It seems I keep talking about summer but I think that’s because we are all starved for some great summer weather.  The kids are out of school now and the Canada Long Weekend has come and gone and I was so cold in the house today that I contemplated wearing long sleeves today.  But then, there’s the weather forecast and it’s calling for hot temperatures by the middle of the week.  Yahooo!!!  Maybe the July Portobello West market will be blessed with dry and warm weather so that it can be held outside.  The June market, my first go at Portobello West, was forced back inside the train station because of the cool and suspect weather forecast.  I had a fun day.  I had a fabulous neighbour which always makes it a better day.

  In preparation for scorching sunshine, I photographed some of my earrings that make me think summer sun in blazing reds, yellows and oranges.  Fun, No?

  

  Blazing Sun Shaggy Loops Earrings

  The Blazing Sun Shaggy Loops earrings are made from enameled copper rings in bright and shiny colours.  Shaggy loops is such a fun weave.  There’s structure and there’s chaos and these will look fabulous with your dog days of summer casual outfits.  I’m looking forward to being more laid back and just chilling out a bit.

  And in similar colourways, are another version of my jingly scale maille earrings.  I love, love, love this colour combination.

  

  Warm Scale Maille

  Back to work for me tomorrow after a nice 4-day Canada Day weekend.  I wish I had found more time to do a bit more chain weaving but at the same time, it’s been fun hanging with the kids and the hubby.  Have an awesome week!!!
