We're All Ears: June Inspiration

For We're All Ears: June Inspiration we are using strawberries as our yummy theme.  This fruit is cultivated worldwide. Strawberries are appreciated for their characteristic aroma, bright red color, juicy texture, and most of all for their sweetness. We consume this fruit in large quantities, either fresh or in prepared foods as preserves, fruit juice, pies, ice creams, milkshakes, and chocolates. Artificial strawberry flavorings and aromas are also used in products like lip gloss, candy, hand sanitizers, perfume, and many others.

I couldn't resist buying the strawberry lampwork beads from Shufflestudio. They looked so real and luscious looking. The red and green beads have an organic, natural look to them. I added some brass leaves and vines to the beads. The ear wires are brass. They are perfect for summer especially for a trip to the farmer's market.  If you would like to buy them for a summer birthday gift, they are available at BayMoonDesign.

For my next pair, I found some rustic ceramic strawberries made by JunqueJules.

To these handmade ceramics I added green beads to the kidney wires. The ear wires are natural brass.  I think that they have a bohemian look to them.  They are available for purchase HERE.


With all this focus on strawberries, I finally gave into the temptation and made a strawberry trifle.  Here is the recipe that I used.
