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.
