VIGNETTE and NECKLACES

Vignette and handpainted Mexican-plate necklaces...
I will be putting them in my Etsy shop,as soon as I can get them listed...

The aqua necklace, is I think my favorite...
but then there is the green and....
the red,blue,and of course the plum...
What can I say I like them all...

I have soldered around the edges and added a 17" jute twine tie...I think it would fit nicely in a trio of necklaces...maybe a strand of pearls and a cross,with the plate necklace...or anything of your choosing ...What do you think of my Vignette...? I quite like it...
until next time...

Christmas post 01

Oh I know I'm so very bad...too,too,long since my last post. I have been so very busy ,but I plan to do much better from now on. I've been on a small holiday to Chicago with 2 of my very best friends last week. We rode the Amtrak up to Chicago, found our hotel...then a few hours of shopping...off for a terrific meal at TGI Fridays and then to the Ford's Theater to see The Addams Family. The show was very good,enjoyed it greatly. We shared a room,great fun with your 2 Best friends...And of course the whole next day was spent shopping and looking,and Christmas shopping and looking ,and shopping some more! This little trip was our Christmas present to ourselves and each other...just a great time for all of us..."gotta" love them girlfriends.
Now, Monday,I'm off to Chicago again for a trip to AGD...American Girl Doll...with my daughter-in-law,Carrie and my granddaughter Caylor...for her long awaited trip to AGD for her Christmas this year...will let you know all about the trip...until next time...blessings...
