Sweltering Santa Cruz Heat & Beach Cymbalism

Sweltering Heat

Thank Goodness for stalled high pressure systems. Here on the California coast (where houses generally do not come equipped with air conditioners), the heat got up to a sweltering 90 degrees. The record-breaking heat that started yesterday continued today...and that sent throngs of what I believe to be otherwise employed people straight to the beach--and wearing lots of sunscreen.

At lunch today, I had at least 10 glasses of iced tea (no, not long island ice teas....its a workday). But, we did manage to get to spend a leisurely hour having lunch at the Santa Cruz Wharf. And, what a view of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk--clear as Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

It was one of those days where all one could say is.... I can't believe I live here! YAY! It was also the kind of day to inspire me to go back home and create...a whole collection of what I'm going to call my "Beach Cymbal" earrings:

You're making me homesick for Santa Cruz. LA is really hot but that's pretty normal. I think I need a S.C. vacation.

About This Blog

It first started as a way to share the inspiration behind my beaded jewelry creations with family and friends. Next thing you know, this blog became a hobby on steroids--complete with a logo!

In my not-so-virtual-reality, I'm a freelance technical and marketing communications consultant who spends her time doing geeky things in the high-tech industry. But on my little blog here, I write about indie fashion and jewelry (mine and others). And if the kitchen's been good to me...I might even throw in an occasional recipe.

Please note that blogging is my hobby and all content on my blog is selected by me. My posts are NOT in any way affiliated with, related to, or endorsed by Etsy.com.
