What a darling little pair of earrings! I love this simple design, easy for beginners (like me;), and just quietly elegant. I’m so grateful for this website! I discovered it today when I saw the ad in Beadwork magazine, and I am absolutely thrilled with these free designs that you have. I can’t wait to get all of the wonderful beads and findings ordered so that I can get busy straightaway!!
