Summers, Flowers, and Fires.



    

It's that time of year! The local Farmer's Market is back and better than ever. There's nothing like going to the Farmer's Market in the evening to pick up my favorite veggies while enjoying music and a ice tea. Even better- cheap sunflower bundles. My favorite flower. I decided to attempt to set them on fire and this happened. Not the easiest task, but this was the outcome.

DIY of the Day: Amethyst Crystal Necklaces



Materials: 22g wire, silver chain, 4mm jump rings, 12mm lobster clasp, and last but not least beautiful Amethyst crystal and Amethyst green. 
Tools: wire cutter, pliers
Product: Pure love

While at the car show I came across a booth that sold Amethyst crystals in various sizes and I was instantly in love. I had to buy them, and they were fairly cheap. These are 2 that I decided to make into necklaces for my sister and I. Sister necklaces. 
I've been wanting a necklace for a long time, but everywhere they're sold are a bit expensive for a jobless girl on a budget. I was able to make these for a total of around 15$. Not bad if you ask me. 

This was also my first time making a necklace like this, so I am very pleased with the outcome.

Weekend Getaway

Here's to an exceptional weekend get away from the 108 degree valley weather to the 70 degree beach weather! Along the way I was either too infatuated with the cars in the car show, too busy indulging in overly fried foods and candy, or it was just too overcast for me to get any good shots. Not to mention the people and me just wanting to enjoy myself.
I did, though, manage to get a quick snapshot of the bottom of the pier, and it'll have to do for that memory and this blog post. A blog without pictures is just boring if you ask me. 

This was definitely a necessary way to start off my summer and I'm optimistic for what the rest will bring.
