Inspirations, Pink Cherry Blossoms

I grew up on a quiet, Dublin, suburban crescent lined with alternating cherry blossom and apple blossoms trees. I used to love when they were in bloom, looking like giant pink and white candy flosses. When the petals were shed, the pavement became a carpet of marshmallows fit for a little princess like me to step on.
Cherry Blossoms in Dublin city
For a city, even the centre of Dublin is pretty green, and at this time of year, often rosy pink. I love that you can turn a corner and accidentally happen upon a row of blossom trees in full blush. Above is one of those surprisingly quiet streets off the main artery from the South into the city centre. I took this shot on my way home a week ago......

rose quartz and rhodonite earrings, Cherry Blossom

...and then I made these. I couldn't help myself!  Cherry Blossom earrings are made with delicate pink rose quartz and candy-hued rhodonite. I hope I've captured the essence of childhood summers in them.

Thanks Lynn for tirelessly producing treasury after treasury to promote fellow artists and artisans around the globe on Etsy. I'm delighted to see my Irish sea glass pendant included with  these fresh Spring items.

 I often see one or two of my Irish colleagues in the mix alongside me so I included Lynn in a thank you treasury from the Etsy Ireland Team last weekend.
