String Art


The earrings above are modern a design that has been around for years. I bought them for the colors but it so reminds me of sting art. If you don't know what String art is see below.


This is a necklace made of string it reminds me of the spirograph as a kid.

Lady Bugs!

The above Pin is a Lea Stein 1990's harlequin lady bug.   When I was buying this house at one time I saw a lady bug on the orange tree. I was happy to see it but then yesterday while pulling weeds.


 I found this in the grass. This is truly wonderful as they are great for gardens.


And on a last note here are some more Lea Steins Lady Bugs below. Lea Stein is a French artist and accessories maker, known for her compressed plastic buttons, brooches and bracelets and became popular in the 1980's.

A friend passing

I have a friend currently passing from breast cancer. I have another that just got diagnosed with cervical cancer. All I can say is get your annual exams. I'm blessed with good health.
