No Jinx, Jewelry Pt 1


I make jewelry and sell it on etsy. The other day I made some earrings to match an new cute dress I got from anthropologie that has some great colors. I've always been fascinated by the combination of light blue, deep red and cream. Not red, white and blue, thank you very much. For some reason it seams very fairy tale to me, like the colors of princess' dress. Cheesy, I know. The colors are also reminiscent of a sunny, snowy day. All these associations - the (fine!) red white and blue tricolor, fairy tale, princesses, castles, snow, sun... made me think, well, Fontainebleau. I've been naming my earrings on etsy after cities, and I was posting these earrings to my etsy shop the day before B found out he got in to INSEAD. I decided to risk the jinx, and sure enough. B got in. But the earrings haven't sold.

The orange and red beads remind me of cranberries and arctic cloudberries :)
