Welcome everyone to the Anchors Aweigh Design Challenge & Blog Hop! Toltec Jewels is hosting the Blog Hop with Suburban Girl Studio sapphire blue porcelain art beads.
We had a choice of using either---
 |
| Sapphire Anchor Beads |
or---
 |
| Stormy Seas Beads |
or---both!
I fell in love with these beads several years ago when I first spotted them at the Philadelphia Bead Fest.
I have purchased a number of these since.

I can see how these anchor charms would be addicting. I ended up using a pair of each color for some earrings too. Your earrings designs are fun and very wearable.
