Hummingbird bead from Fenton

Hummingbird bead in Sparkle in Lake Placid.  Open daily 10 AM to 6 PM



These beads are made in the USA - Hand crafted with love.

Hummingbirds arebirds that constitute the family Trochilidae. They are among the smallest of birds, most species measuring in the 7.5–13 cm (3–5 in) range. Indeed, the smallest extant bird species is a hummingbird, the 5-cm Bee Hummingbird. They hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings
12–80 times per second (depending on the species). They are known as
hummingbirds because of the humming sound created by their beating
wings, which flap at frequencies audible to humans. They also have among
the highest metabolisms of any animal. To conserve energy when food is
scarce, they have the ability to go into a hibernation-like state (torpor) where their metabolic rate is slowed to 1/15th of its normal rate.^[1] They can fly at speeds exceeding 15 m/s (54 km/h; 34 mph);^[2] they are also the only group of birds with the ability to fly backwards.^[3] The smallest species of hummingbirds weigh less than a penny.

Hope you are all having a wonderful day.  If is beautiful here in Lake Placid, NY. 

Many of you have visited us here in the Olympic Region and have asked for Lake Placid themed charms.  Here they are.  I have carried many of them in the store, but have decided to start a website for the rest who want to visit or have and did not get the chance to stop back and pick one up.  Additionally, we are creating more and more charms so you never get tired of looking.

My featured "LakePlacid" charm or bead, which ever you like to call them was created by me.  We went through several samples before choosing this.  A 4 sided sterling silver bead.  This core is large enough that it fits on Pandora and Trollbeads chains. It is not threaded.  It easily slides over and fits nicely between the rest of the beads.  Side 1 is Lake Placid, Side 2 is an Adirondack Chair, Side 3 has ADK engraved on it and Side 4 is a snowflake.

This beads represents Lake Placid of course, winter, summer and all the activities available in the Adirondack Park.  All of the Olympic venues are open, you just have to visit them.  I hope you enjoy this treasures I shared with you all today.  Stop back daily.  We would love to see you in person too, so on your next visit to Lake Placid, stop in Sparkle, 2505 Main Street, Lake Placid, NY  12946.
