When my sister, Teeda, was home a few weeks ago she brought a selection of her beautiful beads for our craft night. This is what I produced from her fabulous stash. She took over knitting my cottage teacosy while giving me instructions. I loved the colours of these aqua beads and the silver filigree.
Of course she brought me some of her own fabulous work in the form of this Swarovski pink snowflake hatpin. I'm one of the few people who uses a hatpin!
More hatpin beauties were bought by her on Ebay. These ones are vintage...wonderful!
They look so lovely in my swan hatpin cushionwith the rest of my vintage hat and scarf pins.
Whatever happened to the days of hats and hatpins? Aren't they beautiful and unique? Tnanks for sharing! Love the jewelry!

of turquoise pieces I saw in New Mexico
on the Mescalaro-Apache reservation.
Verrra beautiful.

What pretty sparklies! I'd love to make jewellery but am scared to use superglue since I stuck myself to the table (I kid you not).
