St. Petersburg Necklace

I finished a custom St. Petersburg necklace, and I'm really happy with the results!  She wanted brown squares and round copper beads - a really pretty combo, don't you think?

And deep in the dark forest ......

there was a wonderful little bead store called Argenta Bead and over this store reigned the silver-haired Ellie.  Well, maybe it really isn't in a forest.  It's on Main Street in Argenta/North Little Rock.  But, seriously, you've just got to go there this week because it's Sale Time!  We're talking 50% Sale Time and there are a bunch of new beads, so hurry in before it's all gone.

Here are some happy customer pics.  Check out all the pretties on the walls.

Once Upon A Time.......

there was a very serious and intense little woman with long curly hair who reigned over twenty-seven computer programmers - picture a combo of Glinda and the Wicked Witch of the West.  Then the very serious and intense woman cut her hair really short and magic happened!  She went far, far away from the twenty-seven programmers (ok - maybe just a few blocks) and began a new and exciting life of making jewelry.  She is very happy now, and not so serious and intense anymore.
OK, so life is not really a fairy tale, and the long curly hair has grown back now, but the magic remains and I am very happy to be making jewelry and new friends.
I am Cindi Booth and I created Bijou Booth as a means to sell the jewelry that I create in my home.  I chose the name Bijou Booth because my paternal great-grandmother was French and bijou is French for a small dainty, usually ornamental, piece of delicate workmanship. 
I hope you enjoy looking at pictures of my work and reading my rambling posts.
