Hello beading friends! I'm Linda Augsburg and I'll be blogging weekly on the BeadStyle blog. I just officially rejoined the staff—I've been working on and off with BeadStyle since it launched 5 years ago. I'm pleased that I get to share some special jewelry links with you each Friday (and I'll pop in from time to time with other fun stuff to share). So let's get started.

Chandelier earrings are still super popular, but sometimes they are just a little too much for every day wear, unless you scale them down like Tammy did in this chandelier earring project.

Jean has a cute pair of earrings in our very own BeadStyle magazine for July, and she promptly sent them off to Kim Miles, fab beadmaker!

That's all for this week. Check in next Friday for new links.
