You're My Butterfly

"Butterflies in her eyes and looks to kill"

I found this FABulous black and gold sequin shawl/top at P.S. Too in Athens. It's 100% Silk and made in India. I did a little research and I believe the style is circa late 80's, maybe early 90's... Now all I need is an excuse to wear it out!

The Stones

My first attempt at bib necklaces... I found a bundle of these beautiful opaque citrus colored stones at the craft store and knew I had to do something crafty with them. The stones are hot glued to a piece of gray stiff felt. These stone necklaces match Serena's cuff in my GG gems post. The ends of the ribbon are treated with Fray Check. Both necklace are adjustable.

April showers bring May flowers...

Last month I made these fabric ivory rosette necklaces from an old dress. All ribbons are treated with Fray Check, so no ugly fraying on the ends! All necklaces are adjustable, even the ones with chains.

Back on the Chain Gang!

Here are pictures of 3 new chain necklaces. I'm very much into layering chains and mixing them with beads and baubles.
