When Good Friends Spoil You.

My neighbor Cheryl loves to craft as much as I do. A couple of years ago she got in to making soaps (and selling them), but this year she makes beads... well she doesn't actually make the beads, she makes jewelry with pretty beads, and she is SO good at it too. On Monday when we went out to dinner I wore 'this top' (didn't take pictures so here's one when I last wore it, when my sister was here)

I jokingly told Cheryl that I didn't have a necklace with this color green in it, and lo and behold, she walks in to my house last night with this. . . . made especially for me!

It's hard to see from the photo but there's tiny little brown flowers in it too with brown and black beads. Let me show off the other pretty gifts she's given me over the past few months. . .

This is the first one she gave me back in December. I loved wearing it with my plain white long sleeve T's, the 3 clear beads in the middle have a 'snowflake' quality to them, but only in winter time. I loved wearing this in the spring too, with the pretty fresh green and blue colors.

I love this pink double-stranded one... it goes with a lot of my 'coral' colored t-shirts and tanks in the summer.

This blue one always looks good with a simple white t-shirt .

I love the stone in this simple black necklace, it has hints of cream and yellow on one half and goes with just about everything I wear.

It's hard trying to get clear pictures..... actually I had Kristen take all of these for me, she didn't do too bad did she ;-)

Cheryl is getting ready to sell her jewelry. I'll be sure to let you know when her website and Etsy shop are up and running.
