"Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens..."

"...these are a few of my favorite things." And here are some Beadiful Things for you:
Houston artists and mommy-prenuer Ann Westby has been handcrafting jewelry since 2001. Born and raised in the Netherlands (which no doubt influences her simple, pretty style), she studied journalism in Boston and then finally landed here in H-town.

Ann markets her handmade jewelry on her Etsy shop, Beadiful Things. She recently added Buttons on Ice Cream, where she sells buttons and pins that she makes with her button machine (a recent super fun gift). Besides on the web, Beadiful Things jewelry is available at Oolala in the Heights (833 Studewood, Houston, TX 77007 - (713) 862-9800).
