My partner is Lecia (Lisa) Woessner from Copper Roses. She is a transplanted southern belle living in Easton, MD. We chatted a few times and she is very sweet. Check out her boards on Pinterest.
I debated whether to participate this year because I am very busy visiting colleges with my daughter this year (she is a Junior). We are actually visiting Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore on Friday - So, I am finishing this post before we leave. But it all worked out (especially with the extra week Lori gave us!)
Here is what she sent me (Sorry about the pictures - I took them with my iphone):
 |
| TWO BEAUTIFUL FOCALS |
 |
| LOVED THE CLASP.... JUST MY STYLE |
 |
| THE PACKAGING WAS SO PRETTY AND FUN TO OPEN.... |
 |
| A PRETTY BOWL I WILL USE IN MY CRAFT AREA |
 |
| THIS IS THE PICTURE LECIA POSTED ON HER BLOG - I THINK IT DOES THE SOUP MORE JUSTICE THAN MY PICTURES.... |
Here is what I made:
I am in the middle of making a second bracelet - I will post that when I finish!
I hope you enjoy hopping around I know I will!!
I can't wait to see what Lecia made with the soup I sent her.

The necklace is fantastic. It look especially great with the purple top.
ReplyDeleteSeconding that: the necklace is really beautiful. I think I'd have been terrified by the orange, but you completely nailed it!
ReplyDeleteThe Orange Necklace looks lovely. You will enjoy wearing that!
ReplyDeleteLeanne, Wow! What a great post! I am soo in love with everything!!! Like Sarah said above, "You nailed it!" Beautiful job! Thank you for doing justice to my handmade focale! I was very nervous about sending it(them)! Anyway, today is a really busy day for me & of course I'm not quite ready to post my post this morning - sorry, I know you're dying to see what I've done with your gorgeous bead soup... It will be up this evening! This was so fun! Thank you for being my partner!

ReplyDeletethe necklace is so charming! I like how you worked the little pearl dangles into the chain.
ReplyDeletePerfect colors to set off that adorable focal bead - sweet and fun! :)
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely designs! Can I ask what the main focals were made from? I can't tell if it's copper or leather or ceramic or something else....but I love your design style!
ReplyDeleteThe vocals are ceramic - made by my partner Lecia www.copper roses.blogspot.com. They were fun to work with!
DeleteYou got some really lovely soup, and I love that last bracelet, really beautiful design.
ReplyDeleteIt is summer in your blog! Lovely necklace, good idea to combine a delicate chain part with the bold one. I just pinned your bracelet, because the closure is very interesting and I want to try something like that, thank you for showing it!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully bold! I like!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you were able to join in despite your schedule, Leanne :) Your designs are so delicious... and I didn't realize Lecia made those focals (now I can't wait to visit her blog as I haven't yet had the pleasure!)
ReplyDeleteLove how the pieces complement each other. Beautiful designs.
ReplyDeleteI love the addition of the delicate chain on your necklace it adds dimension and interest to your necklace. The bracelet is great, love that button!

Marvelous job. All three are so lovely and different from one another it's hard for me to pick a favorite!
ReplyDeleteLovely set of pieces, the necklace is adorable - the little hint of turquoise is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous necklace! I really like the bracelet also.
ReplyDeleteLove your cooking, Leanne! Beautiful earthy colours and a very charming touch of nature style!
ReplyDeleteGracious, just as soon as I saw that necklace a big smile spread across my face. It's beautiful! I adore the brightness off it and the delicacy you gave it with the second strand. As well, your earrings and bracelet are lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sunny necklace and the choker strand just softens it a bit! I also like the antique look of the bracelet!
ReplyDeleteHi Leanne, I like all three of your pieces. The two strands look perfect together in the necklace. It is so bright and sunny. Good job.
