Hello and welcome to the Pearls! Pearls!! Pearls!!! blog hop hosted by the talented Shel from MiShel Designs!
The rules are simple: use natural or otherwise (glass, vintage acrylic, etc.) pearls in your design and link to your supplier so everyone can know where to find them.
Here's what I made:
The first piece is a bracelet made using glass and blister pearls, all from Michael's:
I used slate colored waxed linen from Lima Beads as my stringing material, and a beautiful mother-of-pearl button from JustButtonMe on Etsy.
I love the purple tones in the blister pearls, and how those tones are echoed by the button.
I decided to make some earrings to go with the bracelet using the same materials and some small silver-plated hoops:

Linen thread and pearls, what a great combination. Your bracelet is so very wearable and pretty. The simplicity of your earrings is appealing. It reminds me that not all things have to be complicated to be gorgeous.

Hi Molly. I love your style! The bracelet and earrings are so cute with the pearls and slate waxed linen. Such a great color combination and very wearable!
What gorgeous fun bracelet and earrings! Love the colors of the pearls you used!
Your pearls have all the elements I gravitate toward, but sometimes forget to use myself~simplicity, softness, pops of color, quiet support. Absolutely beautiful pieces.
Really fun pieces, made with finesse!
I love this set Molly! Your color combo is fabulous and I really like the combo of pearls - super textures. Those earrings are way cool, too - something I could wear with most everything in my closet!
I'm so happy you joined in the hop and I hope you had fun using your really pretty pearls!!
I love your color combinations and your use of irish linen thread! It really lends a more casual look to the pearls!
How beautiful! I have learned so much from the hop on the different kinds of pearls. I love how simple yet elegant your bracelet looks. Great Job. Thanks for sharing
Your designs are fun, casual and prove that pearls don't have to be stuffy or classic.
