Description from Granny Chick aka Nancy: I just chose 3 of the Pantone colors for Spring 2013 - their names are Tender Shoots, African Violet, and Monaco Blue. Then I decided to pick a variety of beads or pendants, etc. that would fall into that category of colors.
The blue was difficult as was the green. But it was fun. Everytime we do one of these we learn more about what L.B. has in stock and what will blend with what.

Julie Shane says:Oh Nancy! You’re too much! You know how much I love anything and everything lavendar. Amethyst AND pearls AND the Gaea lotus? Too much beauty. Might have to find a lavendar Easter dress just so I can “justify” these pieces.

Deb Harding says:Very nice. I’m glad you post these Pantone color picks because I really don’t pay attention to that. You give me information I otherwise would never know.
