We're Having a Heat Wave!

by Jennifer VanBenschoten

And of course, our air conditioner is broken. Up here in the Adirondacks, we're just starting to feel the heat that has been baking the rest of the country for nearly a week now. Our air conditioner ceased to work yesterday afternoon, and until we can get a new one later today, it is going to be a hot, sticky and uncomfortable in the house. Lucky for me, I can go into Lake Placid later and sit in the air conditioning at the local coffee house and use their free wi-fi for work!

So, while I contemplate how much I really dislike the heat, I thought I'd share some of my favorite Etsy items with the theme of snow and ice...


These ice cube nuggets beads by Catalina Glass will make the temperature drop!


I love these icy blue glass beads. These would make lovely spacers in a beadwoven necklace.


Maybe I could put this lovely beadwoven choker in the freezer for a few minutes and let it cool my neck.


Just looking at this piece makes me yearn for a good winter storm.


And these lovely Cool Waters Goddess Totem earrings might be just what I need to bring a little bit of cooling rain to upstate New York!

What do you like to do to cool off in the heat? I need some ideas to keep my core temperature down until I can get in the pool later this afternoon!

What's on Your Mind...
