Lifestyle

I was very pleasantly surprised to find my Brooch mentioned in Lifestyle!

"Another wonderful place to find unique and lovely brooches is the multitude of shops on Etsy.com. One of these online shops, Enchanted Beads, has the Deep Sea Brooch with Mother of Pearl and Blue Flower that brings images of the beach and the ocean to one's mind. This enchanting piece of art is reasonably priced at $39.00 and would be a lovely accent to any spring blouse, shirt, or sweater".
