My New Eyeglass Holder Necklace by Beading By Stacie

bentleyboutique — Tue, 18 May 2010 17:17:46 +0000

Can anyone relate to always losing their glasses? I am constantly looking for mine, which I need in order to read anything… which means I need them a million times a day. And I don’t like wearing them constantly because, quite frankly, I can see better without them (far away, that is, not up close). The joys of getting old!

Finally, I found the solution. An eyeglass holder necklace. These babies are hard to find in stores, but I found a very talented work-at-home mom who made this gorgeous necklace for me. Her name is Stacie Zaragosa, and you can find her on the web at www.beadingbystacie.com, http://beadingbystacie.artfire.com, http://etsy.com/shop/beadingbystacie, and http://stores.ebay.com/beading-by-stacie. You can even follow her on twitter.

I love this necklace for several reasons. It’s gorgeous. It is simple and functional. It goes with everything. And I don’t lose my glasses anymore!

You don’t have to have eyeglasses to enjoy Stacie’s work. She offers a very wide assortment of jewelry, earrings, charms, fan pulls, kits, and other items as well. And she even includes a free gift with each order!! So check her out… you’ll be glad you did:)

What an exciting day!! It’s my day to be the featured blogger on SITS (The Secret is in the Sauce). This is a great group of bloggers who support each other by visiting each other’s blogs and leaving comments. If you have a blog and aren’t a member of SITS, head on over there and join. You’ll be glad you did.

A bit about myself… I’m a former social worker.. turned drug rep.. turned mom of 14 year old twin boys. I also have an online store, Bentley Boutique. And I try to squeeze in crafting as often as possible, which is why I created my blog. If you are into digital scrapbooking, I’ve been posting a lot of templates lately.

Now I’m supposed to list my 3 favorite posts … hmmm, that’s hard, but here goes. Funny, with all my crafting posts, my favorite ones have to do with my kids and the dog!

Thank you to all who stop by today! I’m looking forward to checking out all your blogs as well:)
