Seadbeady's Finds on Etsy - Soft and Warm

Hi There.....Would you like a cup of cocoa?

Actually we are having some late summer days here in Belgium. But when the sun goes down you can feel that the nights are getting colder anyhow. So I thought you might like something warm and cosy like a hot cup of cocoa 😊

Or maybe you are more of a tea fan just like me. I even have a tea machine from NestlΓ© Special T.
I bought it last year and am real happy with it. My favourite tea of theirs is the Limited Edition that is not available at the moment with coconut and pineapple. It smells so great and tastes fantastic.

That soft and warm tea inspired me to find some more lovely soft and warm items on Etsy for you today.

Gift Guide By Seadbeady 4

Hi There......Do you love or hate Halloween?

It's big in Belgium too you know. We have Halloween parties, Halloween parades with ghosts and witches, Halloween cooking, Halloween candy,.....

The name Halloween is derived from Hallow-e'en, or All Hallows Eve, the night before All Hallows, November the 1st. In the Celtic calendar the year started on the first of November, so on October 31 they celebrated New Year's Eve. The Celts believed that on that day the ghost of those who died in the past year would come back and take possession of the living. They would put food in front of their doors to attract the spirits. But they wore masks to ward off evil spirits.

So now that you know where Halloween comes from let me show you the Gift Guide I made for you 😊


Spooky Cat Halloween Earrings, Cat Earrings

Halloween Card Set, Halloween set, Halloween blank cards

Halloween Girl Witch OOAK art doll handmade

Hand Painted Ivy Bowl Candle Holder, Pumpkins

HALLOWEEN COASTERS Quilted Pieced Patchwork Set of Six

I think it's fun Halloween......Too bad my kids are all grown up now......But my niece (also very much grown up) is still hosting a Halloween party on the 31 st .....Am a bit curious to see what she's got in store for us 😏 

Hope you liked my blog post.........Until next time.........Have a great day

Seadbeady's Finds on Etsy - Vintage

Hi There...... Great to see you again.....Are you ready for some more vintage?

No clothing today but vintage items this time. It's actually this first on the list of my finds that inspired me to make another blogpost about vintage. The seller is someone who often shares my posts and in return I share hers. And that way we both get more exposure.

The term vintage is used for items that are minimum 30 years old and maximum 100 years. Once an item is over 100 years old it is considered to be antique.

I actually have never bought anything antique or vintage. But I do enjoy looking at all those things that sometimes remind me of my youth. You can find really neat things on Etsy. Here are some of the beauties I found for you.

Crystal Stemware Glasses Champagne Wine Queens Lace set of 7 



Ultra rare original vintage Soviet watch Zim "Aviator" 1980 release



Antique SMALL brass Watering Can for Decor with little plant table



Royal Albert's 'Enchantment' kleine duo-Revolution, fine bone china

Vintage spices set porcelain table spices set

You have to admit those are some real great finds 😊 So tell me which one is your favourite?

Hope you enjoyed my blogpost.........Until next time.........Have a great day

Introducing to you - Seadbeady

Hi There..... Lately I have been introducing you to some lovely Etsy shops..... But then I was thinking that I actually haven't introduced my own Seadbeady shop to you 😲

I have told you earlier how I got to be a seedbeadaholic. It all started when I started getting a lot of physical health problems. Bad back for the most part, but also problems in lots of my joints with bad cartilage.

Up until 2008 music was a big part of my life. I was a singer in a choir for 4 years and lead singer in a band for 2 years. I was taking piano lessons and singing lessons in the meantime. But my problems forced me to find another pass time.

So that made me to the passionate beader I am today. Hardly any day goes by without me giving in to my seed bead addiction. It's not so much the bigger beads but the tiny seed beads I mostly work with.

In the beginning I worked with patterns off course. But as I developed more skills my mind started to go crazy. It woke me up in the middle of the night with new patterns that just appeared in my head. And the weird thing is I still remembered them next morning. I never put anything on paper but I just started working and 9 times out of 10 it came out the way I imagined it to be.

That's how it was in the beginning and still is at the moment except for the fact that I don't wake up from the many patterns in my brain anymore. I still regularly use patterns from others, because they inspire me to make my own.

So let me show you some of my very own creations

Statement Women Gift, Statement Women Necklace



Ethnic Bracelet, Delicate Beadwork Statement Bracelet



Statement Beadwork Jewelry, Romantic Beadwork Embroidered Jewelry



Blue Green Womans Necklace, Geometric Beaded Jewelry



Red Beadwork Jewelry Flower Bracelet for Her, Elegant Wife Gift



Christmas Tree Ornament, Holiday Decor, Simple Womans Gift



Tassel Jewelry Bead Rope Womans Necklace, Purple Jewelry for Her



Statement Bead Rope Womans Chic Jewelry, Best Rope Necklaces



Statement Unique Womans Jewelry Beaded Bracelet for Wife



Ring Bearer Box, Wedding Ring Gift Box, Home Decor for Wife



So what do you think of my jewelry? Would really love to know πŸ˜ƒ
I sometimes wonder what you would like to see more of .....Is there something I should focus more on? Or make more of? 

I hope you enjoyed my blogpost for today.........Until next time......... Have a great day
