I found this mesmerizer over at Piedra Designs on Etsy. The artist Gretchen Simons of Denver, is so talented, that not only does she make beautiful pieces like this "Blue Highway", but she also makes the beads herself...can you say unique designs?
Okay, I deliberately only showed you half the bracelet, you must check out her shop to see the rest, where she has more beautiful eye candy.

Monday's Mesmerizer - Sunset Dream

I absolutely Love this painting! I could just sit around and look at the colors and movement all day long. This beautiful work of art was created over at Color Blast on Etsy. This artist uses both Eastern and Western patterns to create her stunning work. In her own words, she creates art that connect to the inner soul and change the tone of our living space. I can certainly agree with that!

Please visit Color Blast and check out all of her other works, I'm going to sit here and look at this one a little bit longer!

Monday's Mesmerizer - Red Bean Chili

I'm back!!! And while I was away I Found this beautiful bracelet over at Risky Beads on Etsy. Lori makes the most beautiful "risky" bracelets! The color selections are to die for. Lori describes her designs as beads + soap opera tucked inside a fortune cookie that's masquerading as a greeting card which is then accidentally run over by the Scooby Doo Mystery Van. Not sure what that means, but it equals beautiful eye candy to me!
Lori is also the mastermind behind Handmade Highway, "a living, dynamic directory of handmade sellers". After visiting Lori in her Etsy shop, stop by Handmade Highway and see what all the talk is about and become one of the hitchhikers. You'll get your own Exit while you're at it. Tell Lori hello and let her know I hitched you a ride!

Tonight I don't have a mesmerizing beauty to show you, only a message with the hope that you will add two very special little girls to your thoughts and and prayers and/or support an effort to help their family. I read a post over at a friends blog this week about two little girls, ages 1 and 2, who lost their mother in a car crash, in North Tulare County in California August 20th. The children were with her and unharmed, unfortunately the mother, 24, did not survive.

Desert Maiden Bath an Etsy shop, is donating 40% of her sales starting this month towards a $2,000 treasure bond for the two children of her friend until the goal is reached. If you're in need of soap this month, please consider purchasing from this shop.
