ReplyDeleteLove all your beads they are wonderful. Love your creativity.
ReplyDeleteWhat marvelous colors for your beads...you are so very talented! Such lovely work.
ReplyDeleteWhen we were in Italy a couple years ago we brought back a bunch of lovely glass beads for a jewelry-making friend of my daughter's. Luckily I got a couple pieces as a thank you- was fun because I knew where everything came from.
Been meaning to say how much I love hearing about Michigan as I was born and raised there.
Looove your cottage and blog!
ReplyDeleteI could have so much fun digging through that treasure trove of beautiful bright beads! Just seeing them puts a smile on my face:>)
ReplyDeleteLovely! Some of my most relaxing days are spent puttering around like this! :)
ReplyDeleteKathy,
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased you dropped in to visit with me and that you took the time to leave a sweet comment...thank you.
I see that we have several thing in common. I also have a sweet granddaughter named Ellie...I made jewelry for a time...Ill Divo are men that sing my heartsong...
As for golfing...years ago I went with my husband...I drove the golf cart...backed into a tree and dented the bumper just a bit...he teed off and then he teed me off and I haven't been invited back...but that's alright...I'd rather shop....
Your blog is lovely...I perused it briefly but plan to return...I am now a devoted follower. Your pictures are spectacular.
Wishing you God's richest blessings...Betty
