I lampworked this glass vial with sterling silver and a crystal and put geranium essential oil in it

Kikigirl!!!  This little vial looks so sweet!  I wish we could get a closer look.  The other lampwork beads are amazing too!!

Presenting the wonderful work of devilninny!
Not simply 'blue' but my beloved COBALT blue!  


Nifty mosaic mirror; Blue scented candles with blue glass holders; a fantabulous, cool blue bead bracelet; an amazing CD of song that all have "Blue" in the title (and which my BF has already swiped to put on HIS computer); and perhaps most surprizing of all: COCONUT Hershey's kisses!!

The kisses say "Limited Edition" -- I may cry....

WOW!!  The cobalt blue is stunning!!

Wonderful stuff, and yummy candy--I guess we are spoiled to live near Chocolatetown, USA--we get all of the latest chocolates from Hershey, eh, devilninny?

The mosaic mirror is beautiful and a unique thing!!

Umm...kinda naive here...but is there really such a place?  I've never seen those kisses before, and I love Hershey's.  I bet they are yummy.

And Kikigirl, I'm glad you like my avatar.  I made em myself.  Even chipped my tooth doing so.

I just read this thread from page 1--this is a wonderful idea for a swap!!  I hope there is another round!!  You guys have been so creative with crafting for the 5 senses!!

Love the brilliant colors and the various ideas!! So much fun--sorry I missed this round 

ha ha krafty_kelly--Chocolatetown, USA is the nickname for Hershey, PA!!
We have chocolate kisses for street lamps (silver and brown), Chocolate Avenue, bushes trimmed to read "Hershey Cocoa", a chocolate spa, and of course, the tour of the Chocolate Factory...one end of town has the Reeses Peanut Butter Cup plant--mmmm can almost smell it from my house!!

Please have another round of this swap!!!

Um....wh, wha what!!!  How could you possibly chip your tooth making those adorable slippers?

lol I actually posted this pic in the wrong swap!!!  ha ha!   I don't know how anyone could possibly do more than 2 swaps!

Here's the pic I promised you kraftykelly.  It IS blurry...didn't check the pic's before I sent.  Thanks for asking to see it!

Oh my!  That is so beautiful!  I love it.  The colours, the silver...even the tiny little cork, its so perfect. Thank you for giving me a closer look.  And how nice that you put geranium oil in it.  .... Ummm... where would one get geranium oil?  Does it smell good?  I love geraniums but have never noticed their smell.

I chipped my tooth trying to pull the embroidery needle through the felted slipper.  The felt was pretty tough and thick, and I used my teeth (bad idea) to pull it through, whilst embroidering the nose and eyes. 

And please, please please can I move to Chocolatetown USA???  It sounds heavenly!  Hershy, PA  here I come!!!

Thank you!!!  You can get geranium oil online at Dandelion Botanicals in Seattle...I'm not sure if you can get it from Aura Cacia (which is the biggest brand). It's super strong and great for my skin...I actually think MUB was probably a bit overpowered by it...I had to put it in a plastic bag.  I don't think it's from the American version of the plant but I'm not sure.  I wish I could be more help on this, I should know more.  I have quite a collection but I just know what I use it for. 

I'm SOOOO sad for you that you chipped your tooth...I couldn't imagine how you did it.  I hope your smile is bright and shiny now!!!
