Crystals and Pearls

It's been a while since I've made any jewelry - got these four necklaces finished for the bridesmaids.

Swarovski crystals and pearls.

They look so much prettier in person and have lots more sparkle! They are on a long runner I found at GW. I doubt that it was ever used as it's in perfect condition.

On to a necklace for Sarah.

Sea Shells and Lavender Bells

There's a third color of Canterbury Bells--Lavender. I'm lovin' these new flowers in my garden. This one fell over, most likely in one of our many wind storms.
On one of my trips to Denver, I found this 3 tierd shelf. Don't know what it's really for, but it was cheap, so it came home with me.
Had a box of 100 sea shells from a former student so decided to put them outside for the summer.
When I taught First Grade we celebrated the 100th Day of school by bringing in collections. Amber brought this magnificent set of shells for the kids to see.
Her mom said they were going to throw them away! She asked if I wanted them-what teacher in her right mind would say no??!!

I ♥ them!!!

I'm sure they came right from the beach and have a soft chalky feel. Lucky me!

Here's what was blooming today-PINK Canterbury bells. I hope they will produce seeds so they'll be back next year!
Missouri primroses. This plant just gets larger each summer and has interesting seed pods.
The mini roses are looking cheerful in the morning sun.

Finally pruned these roses and cleaned out the bed.
