New Mother's Day Designs from Risky Beads

Mother's Day is coming quickly! It's Sunday, May 10, 2015, so about a month away. We have tons of new designs for mom this year -- some are brand new and some are freshened up! Let's take a peek! Our layered key chains are always a hit, and this year, we've freshened them up with some new looks!


Next to our layered key chains, our ribbon wrap bracelets are an uber-popular gift idea and on trend! This year we've added 7 new ribbon colors  this year and the bracelet below features one of them, Forgotten Forest, with our new initial discs add-ons. 

Customers have been asking us for a larger key chain for awhile now, one where we could fit longer quotes. We've had a new aluminum tag cut just for us, and we're showing it off with our new Mother's quote key chain.


We can even customize the back up to 25 characters!


Our 3 layer necklaces are always popular, and we've freshened up this design a little with new metal options and chain options. 


We started stamping the 50 states this year, and this key chain is a simple reminder to Mom about how much she and home means to you.


Another new option this year is double-sided aluminum cuffs! Here's an example for mom, but the sky's the limit with what we can do with these amazing bracelets! (Plus size available.)

And lastly, we launched a secret message style of key chain this year to give you a chance to make your special message to mom personal and to have an even cooler 2 layer key chain to boot!


Lastly, and possibly most proudly, we debut our new Birth Announcement Key Chain for new mommies!


We hope these new designs inspire you to make this Mother's Day a great one and remember that we're always here to answer questions and help you out! Contact us on Etsy or at riskybeads@gmail.com. 

Until next time

Corner Bookmarks from Satin Stitchery - Recent Handmade Purchase

If you're a regular follower of this blog, you know that I buy handmade gifts anytime I possibly can. Here's the skinny on a recent purchase...

Mother's Day is almost here and I bought the cutest corner bookmarks for my mom from Satin Stitchery on ArtFire. See, my mom loves chickens. No she didn't grow up on a farm and neither did our family, but she has a passion for 'country living.' We did have two little chicks in our house when my sister and I were little; they were the result of a science project at school. My sister and I named them 'Beeper' and 'Peeper.' They lived in our downstairs bedroom in a box until they were too big to live with us and went to a farm. My sister and I couldn't eat chicken for months!


Bookmark Chicken and Chicks on Navy

Chicken and Flowers Bookmark

These things are adorable!! Toni did them for me as a special order (because I needed chickens) and I can't wait for my mom to get them. They're bigger than they look and so, so cute!

Next item... tomorrow! Stay tuned!
