I've been seeing this certain shade of pink cropping up everywhere, I saw an article calling it 'millennial pink.' Usually when new fads start up my first reaction is not a good one, but I have to say, I don't hate this! I kind-of love this light, rosy, pink color! So much, that I've made quite a few new designs with this color, not intentionally, but I've been gravitating towards this color for a while!

My very favorite shop here in Chicago is AVP! For a while I worked for a company that was renting them store space and I became a frequent customer. I got a few things that helped me add that pick to my designs!

These are agate crystals. Agate comes in just about every imaginable color, including millennial pink!

I also have found a new fondness for mauve pearls! I have always liked mauve pearls, they have this wonderful soft color to them, it's not quite pink but they are iridescent with several colors showing at once. They look wonderful with the pink crystals! I found these at my favorite shop and from some online shops I frequent!
