Love these!

what a fun contest idea.
the sterling and goldfill necklace Fizzy Bubbles @ Valerie Tyler’s shop caught my eye…i always doodle bubbles, so maybe that’s why. i’m drawn to the elegance, for sure, but enjoy the excitement of the piece as well.
the earrings break @ smashing’s shop are neato. i think they must feel really smooth and cold, and i would probably have a hard time keeping my fingers off them!

Hard to pick just one favorite…I already had favorited Valerie Tyler’s original INDUSTRIA NECKLACE and very partial to the NEW MOON earrings too! Love her shop and blog!
Another shop from the Clevelandteam that I just adore is LEBG (lakeeriebeachglass). From her shop I’m ogling her TEAL TRIO TRIAD earrings and GOLDEN AMBER HONEY ones too.

Great stuff Valerie!
I love this sweet ring:
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15531618
and there is so much great stuff coming out of the clevelandhandmade team lately that picking one shop or one item is painfully difficult…
but I have most recently fallen hard for the new pottery Gina DeSantis
( http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=19193 ) is doing.
My latest fav would have to be this incredible bowl: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23364187
Happy Spring everyone!
