She sent me some new jewelry awhile back and I wanted to ‘show it off’ here!

I hope she puts some of these wrap bracelets in her shop HERE because they really are fun to wear.

And the necklace gives me some Florida sunshine to wear here in the mountains. I really need that!

I also won a fantastic Giveaway at My Wonderfully Made for a Gift Certificate to

Bella Rosa Antiques !

I just knew I would choose jewelry...until I saw this Oriental mirror.

Hi, I love the jewelry and the mirror is perfect. I get rather disheartened as most of thr giveaways are for USA only. I can understand it as postage is so expensive....but they always seem such nice things! hope the storms get easier! Joan

Love all your pretty things and especially love the little bottle. Very cold and windy and raining here but supposed to clear up over the week end. Good thing I decided to hold off with GS until the 4th and keeping fingers crossed we have nice weather and that I sell a lot.
Have a great week end
