Trinket #269 - Jadeite Ring

Wow - two rings in one week! Today's trinket was inspired simply by digging in the supplies stash for something that caught my eye. This odd little jadeite bead is a loner, meaning I can't use it for a matching pair of anything, so I figured I'd give it a place of prominence and let it shine on its own. Added bonus - it looks just like an M&M candy!

Trinket #267 - Citrine Candy Corn Earrings

Okay, they're not really supposed to be candy corn, but the teardrop shape combined with the gradual darkening near the bottom of each bead made it so candy corn was all I could see. It's either that, or I have a bad case of Halloween on the brain. (Probably the latter - I did pick up four masks and a basket full of glow sticks FOR NO REAL REASON at Target today. Someone hide my debit card!)

Trinket #147 - Midway Bracelet

It's been a while, so I thought I'd put together another carnival-themed trinket. This one is a shiny little thing with colored bead chips that remind me a bit of cotton candy and popcorn. The State Fair of Virginia is still months away, but lots of seedy traveling carnivals tend to show up this time of year. I'll try and get a Tilt-a-Whirl action shot of this bracelet for you soon!
