Autumn in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts

Hi!
First I have to tell you that I am hopelessly in love with Czech Leaf Beads. The colors and shapes of these sweet beauties keeps me very busy. Czech beads are steeped in history, going back 300 years or more!

I found the new autumn “magic” leafs and bought all I could locate on line. The colors are so rich and change color depending on movement and lighting conditions.

I was born and raised in The Berkshires of Massachusetts, so I know a little about fall foliage =)
Every fall my husband and I had our rituals of going to the apple orchards, buying pumpkins, I decorated to the nines for Halloween and last but not least our trip to nearby VT.

So, when I got my hands on these hot little beauties I went to town designing! I’ve designed bracelets, ear cuffs, and ear rings. The colors mixed with crystals, glass pearls, and other beads creates some stunning jewelry.

 
We have lived in Florida for 9 years now! I never thought I would admit it, but I do miss fall.
Having pieces I made for myself reminds me of home, in the Berkshires, truly Autumn Magic!

Our vacation is coming up fast and you know where we are going, yup, to Massachusetts.
The End =)
