As we near the end of 2011, I want to say THANK YOU to all of those who have helped to promote my jewelry design business -- my darling, wonderful husband Craig, my social media adviser, the people who have always had full faith in me, and of course my devoted customers! To you, especially, I wish to give you a BIG HUG!
I am so encouraged to be entering another year with my business. What delightful opportunities there will be as I expand my repertoire, build my line, and continue to develop NoelleLaBelle Jewelry to Adore (or NoelleLaBelle Jewelry2Adore.) Merry Christmas!
Welcome to The Weekend Jewelry Designer Blog!

Do you love turquoise? I have a number of pieces with genuine turquoise stones, or with stones resembling the cool, eye-pleasing color of turquoise. To me, this color brings with it a sense of relaxation -- unbelievably clear Caribbean waters offshore of a tranquil beach, the cool, inviting waters of a deep pool on a summer's day, and a color- washed late afternoon sky painted with splashes of azure blue and wisps of translucent gold and pink.
Check out these pretty pieces - all on www.NoellelaBelle.etsy.com. You will love them!

Tis the Season to be Jolly...
Ringy dingy ding, ding, ding ding! Ringy dingy ding, dingy, ding, ding! You know the tune (or SHOULD know that it's an intro to a popular Christmas jingle.) I'm jollier this year than last year --- a good thing, as we all need to look up and see a bright future! I think of the beautifully brilliant North Star that appeared in the sky long, long, ago leading wisemen to a humble stable. This star brought with it promise and hope for all of mankind. I am forever inspired by this hope.
I feel a sense of satisfaction in having honed my skills this year as a bead stitcher and creator of new beautiful jewelry designs. Am I there yet (at the perfection level)....? Of course not. The journey is such that feeling inspired along the way with the accomplishment of each new skill is reward enough.
Being a jewelry designer is all-encompassing. Finding a balance between my real life paid job, and what I do on the side as a creative outlet is challenging. Yet, I feel proud of the pieces that I have produced this last year, and am committed to bringing more of my pieces to the world this year via craft and jewelry shows, and other venues that bring me in touch with people who love jewelry. Watch for future announcements of my endeavors in 2012!
Check out these over-the-top flashy chandelier earrings! You can't beat the alure of sparkling Swarovski crystals. These earrings feature a new color Red Magma -- a brickish-red hue that reminds me of cognac. Send me a message if you'd like to buy these -- $22.00 (before taxes and shipping.)

In the language of my German ancestors....O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
wie treu sind deine Blätter!
Du grünst nicht nur
zur Sommerzeit,
Nein auch im Winter, wenn es schneit.
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
wie treu sind deine Blätter!
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum!
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
Wie oft hat nicht zur Weihnachtszeit
Ein Baum von dir mich hoch erfreut!
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum!
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum!
Dein Kleid will mich
was lehren:
Die Hoffnung und Beständigkeit
Gibt Trost und Kraft
zu jeder Zeit.
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum!
Das soll dein Kleid
mich lehren.
EnglishO Christmas Tree
O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree
How loyal are your leaves/needles!
You're green not only
in the summertime,
No, also in winter when it snows.
O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree
How loyal are your leaves/needles!
O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree
You can please me very much!
How often has not at Christmastime
A tree like you given me such joy!
O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree,
You can please me very much!
O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree
Your dress wants to
teach me something:
Your hope and durability
Provide comfort and strength
at any time.
O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree,
That's what your dress should
teach me.
