Earrings and Things
Look at these beautiful handmade earrings! This is the surprise I received in the mail as part of Leslie’s fun Thanksgiving Treasures earring exchange. Leslie of Bei Mondi coordinated a fantastic “secret santa” style earring exchange. We were able to give some input as far as color/style/length preferences. I was in for a real treat when I opened my box and found these perfect go-with-everything earrings! These sweet earrings by Barbara Lewis have the best handmade bead caps. Thank you Barbara!!
I wanted to thank everyone for stopping by and sending all of those b-day wishes my way. You all (new friends and “old”) sure made my birthday soooo memorable. I thought I’d share just a few birthday goodies . I am so spoiled by your friendship.
A box full of beautiful vintage lace from dearest Madeline
Antique mother of pearl and detailed sterling silver baby rattle from Kerry
Victorian velvet album from Randy....oh, I've been searching for one of these for some time!
I’m off to tag along on a Kindergarten field trip…should be a great day for outdoor pictures. Have a great day, friends!

Those earrings are to die for! I love how that black shines. Marvelous! Wow, you really have some beautiful finds. That album is a real gem.
Oh wow! Those earrings are STUNNING, and the fact that they can go with just about anything adds to their charm 😀
And everything else in the post is just to die for!
Cindy: I’m glad you like the earrings, and thanks to everyone who had such nice things to say. But, the rest of the booty, WOW! I didn’t know you liked doilies so much. I’m the doilie queen. It’s a long story, but if anyone needs doilies, let me know!
I love that album! I’m still jealous of your ledger — if you see one that’s similar, would you grab one for me (totally dead serious, I’ll pay in a heartbeat!)
I know what I’m going to make in class next!! I love these caps. My fabulous package came today, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU again.The magazine had some really great things in it, including your other designs! Is it silly to say I was as excited about the case the washers came in as anything else?( who doesn’t love a new compartment case, & the ribbon wrapping everything up was a beautiful colour too))
such wonderful goodies. so glad you had a great b’day!
