A revisit of neglected glasses..


This week I wanted to revisit a couple of glasses that I hadn't used for a while.
- My goddess set has a base of coral from CiM called Phoenix which is perfect for spring!
- The two simple round bead sets are rare uniques from CiM that I cherish and only make into sets when I am ready to part with just a bit.
The Pumpkin Unique is a beautiful sienna brown and can transform into various hues. This set is rich coffee tones.
The Chai Unique is a batch that is a soft pink that is so classic.

And of course, last but not least, Dark Cocoa and Golden Aurae… because no one can turn down Chocolate!

Have a great week!
