“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.” – Dr. Seuss

#sponsored: This fireside warmth themed #beadhaul and #finishedjewelry collection was the comforting hug that I needed during this harsh January. I was challenged by some more awesome beads from this month's @Potomacbeadco Treasure Box subscription and feel that my collection is an organic way to showcase multiple textures.

Spoiler alert: 2025 has not been kind to my family so far. My usual bubbly personality is not as sparkly, so I apologize in advance. I'm mourning my sweet Stringbean kitty cat, my husband is continuing to suffer debilitating pains in his back, neck and right hand, and apparently...my sitting on the floor caused my sudden own old lady body aches and pains. Stir all that up with back-to-back winter storms where the snow and ice are only just now disappearing after 3+ weeks...and the fireside warmth vibe was very much welcomed.
