    ~ Show and Tell Friday ~ My jewlery ~




    I have had a lot of fun making jewelery.  I thought I would share some that I have made and sold.  The purple on is a gift to a friend. All my jewelery is made of semi-precious stones and glass beads.  I hope you like them.














    If you would like to join this Show and Tell Friday please let me know you posted and I will link you.

     Each week is a individual Show and Tell so if you want to keep joining in on S&T Fridays you need to let me know each week.

     The only rules are ...
    Please keep it wholesome
    and post a link back to me so others may join if they want too. 

    Please go see and enjoy these wonderful Sweet Sister's in Christ and their Show and Tells.

    Very pretty, Mary! It amazes me how you find time to do all that you do. We've made jewelry before too - well, mostly the girls have. I just help when needed. The bead store is a fun, but expensive, place to go. And of course, Bookworm & I always like the most expensvie stuff :)

    Posted by ThreeLittleLadies
    I've seen it IRL. It is gorgeous. I have a necklace from her that I wear for times when I dress up. It is really lovely. The girls each have a necklace or a bracelet too.

    Well, I'm so confused. I guess I'm telling you I'd like to be part of the Show and Tell this week. Is posting a comment the way I do this? And I DID figure out how to link back to you. Yippee! I'm getting there.
    I love your jewelry. If my ear holes hadn't closed up, I'd WANT some of those beautiful dangly things!

    How long does it take for you to make a necklace like that? When you sell them is there any profit? I could see you selling them on ebay no troubles! They are lovely. Thanks for sharing with us another of your many talents, my SSiC.

    Those are really nice Mary! I can't wait to get some in the mail :) btw I'll be gone 18th-30th but I'm sure they will keep at the Post office until I return :)

    Last night we saw a big baby hawk or eaglet on our evening bike ride. It was just sitting on the grass next to the golf cart path. We stopped and Curufinwe went back to the house to get the camera. You can go to http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Luthien to get the skinny :)

    Mary,

    Your jewelry is very pretty. Marissa loves beading. My husband's aunt has an awesome craft room (the size of a 4-car garage just heaping with beads. And, she is generous with her supplies and instruction ~
