TOOT TOOT!!!....ALL ABOARD!!

I'm heading off tomorrow to Tatamagouche, Nova Scotia, Canada, for a friend's wedding.

It's going to be a bit of a whirlwind....work in the morning, head to the airport for a flight from London - Toronto - Halifax (the trains are going on strike tomorrow so I have no idea how/if it will affect air travel), arrive in Halifax and stay overnight, drive across Nova Scotia to reach Tatamagouche, wedding Saturday evening, stay overnight at the Train Station Inn, get up early and drive back across Nova Scotia, fly home from Halifax - Montreal - London on Sunday morning.

Whew...I'm tired just writing that!

The Train Station Inn is a really neat place to stay....these are our accommodations:



Check out their link, and read the story...the innkeeper was only 18 when he bought the defunct train station, and has turned it into a very successful business! Great job!

The other really nice thing is that I made the bride's jewellery, and also for myself and one of the bridesmaids...it's so nice to contribute to a happy day in some small way.

I'm very excited....it's sure to be a great time!

Welcome To My Blog!

I'm pretty inexperienced with "blogging" so please bear with me...my first post. I'm a part-time glass artist, making lampwork beads and beaded jewelry. Our Etsy street team, etsyBEAD, is promoting "wedding bells" this week, and have featured some beautiful jewelry for the bride, bridal party, mother of the bride, and guests who want to look stunning for the big day.
Please stop by www.etsy.com and search by the keywords "EBTW", which stands for etsyBEAD Theme of the Week, or "wedding bells". I'm sure you'll find something just right for you.
I have some beads in the kiln right now...better go check on them.
Thanks for visiting. I would invite you to have a look at my website: www.brilliantbeads.net and my Etsy store: www.gillianbeads.etsy.com
