I was selling my everyday collection at yet another show this weekend.  I always meet such creative, fascinating people at these shows and this weekend was no exception. 

I had a wonderful conversation with Lauren Bailey of Thirteen Moons Designs.  She creates stunning lampwork glass beads which she uses in a variety of hand-crafted items.  I purchased several items which I think represent her breadth of talent.  I picked up a silver chain necklace with yellow glass beads, a bookmark with one of her creations dangling freely and a cocktail drink stirrer!

I am now regretting not picking up one of her oh so unique leaf pendants, like the one below - I think I will have to give her a call!

Be sure to check her website often as she is opening a studio in Drums, PA in Winter of 2007.  Classes will be offered as well as a Gallery opening to support the work of Pennsylvania artists!
