In the last 13 years, I’ve been exposed to the beauty of handcrafted products…not only from our family-owned company, but from other Philippine and international manufacturers as well.  I’ve seen some of the best if not THE best in home decor, furniture, fashion and jewelry.

If I were to learn a craft, I’d very much like to get into jewelry making.  I do think it’s a very good and worthwhile hobby.  It’ll be nice to be able to wear my very own one-of-a-kind creation…something nobody else has.  I’ve been tempted more than once to buy myself the necessary tools of the trade, a beginner’s book, some tools and a few beads and gemstones.  It’s so easy to get into crafting here in the US!

Last Friday, I chanced upon the website Beads of Cambay. They sell wholesale gemstone beads, a good variety at that. I may just have found the motivation to turn my jewelry making dream into a reality.

Beads of Cambay has semi precious gemstone beads, precious gemstone beads, freshwater pearls, vermeil beads, sterling silver beads, copper beads, brass beads and briolette. I’d love to get my hands on them all. I’d save a lot of money if I were to make my own jewelry and if I give them away as gifts, too! I’d save even more if I buy wholesale beads. Ooh, I feel my creative juices starting to flow.

This week’s photo hunt theme is “Road“.  I dug into my photo archives for these photos.  These photos were taken at Sonic, a popular US drive-in food chain.  We’re not exactly crazy about their food but we end up in here anyway whenever we are on the road and in a hurry.  The food isn’t so bad really but there are better options.  Anyway, anything to keep the tummy from rumbling. Hee hee.

The dessert menu board on was by my window.  Tempting!

I believe I had a burrito, too.  Abby is munching on some fries.

I have another Photo Hunt entry HERE.  Visit other photo hunters here.

Have a great weekend!
