And look at the price! It was definitely a "Thrifty Treasure".
What else have I been doing besides enjoying the beautiful weather these days? Enjoying this beautiful weather, the beautiful flowers and trying to avoid anything called "work". I was going to clean out and organize a closet this week. Opened the door, took one look and shut the door. Did I do another "work" project ? Nope ! Pulled out the bling and played with that! :-D Picture not that good, but it is a combination of white and gray faux pearls and silver plated meshed covered glass beads.
All the years I worked, I always had a watch on my wrist. When the battery died recently in my last watch, I did not bother to replace it as the band was not in the greatest of shape. I will eventually get another watch, but for now I put one on a chain. I had some watch faces that I had not done anything with, so put one on a chain with a little vintage faux drop pearl and a Swarovski crystal.
I am linking up with Leigh - Hostess of "Thrifty Thursday".
Cindy - Hostess of "Show and Tell Friday" .
Laurie - Hostess of "Few of My Favorite Things Saturdays" .
Thank you ladies for hosting these weekly events.
If you have not already, be sure to go by and visit Leigh, Cindy and Laurie to see what they and the other participants have to share with us this week.
Hope everyone enjoys their weekend.

Great buys and I bet you can hardly wait to read that book !

What a pretty necklace. That's a great idea to hang the watch from a chain.
LOVE the necklaces; beautiful. That's the type of necklace I like to wear!
Great buy on the book -- I have yet to read one of Michael's books, but I should rectify that. I'll bet her books are great fun.

PS is that wisteria in the header? Wow, gorgeous!
Hello Glenda,
Love the necklace with the watch. I hope you are having a good week also. sandi
Always looking for a good book to read, might have to find a copy of the one you just picked up. Love the new necklaces, especially the one with the watch face. Have a great week.

Love the super cute watch necklace!
Love the pearls. Just beautiful.
I enjoy Micheal Lee West's books also. If you get a chance--read Mermaids in the Basement-very southern.
I love that necklace! That's just beauitful!
I've seen people link to the Foodie party but I didn't know she was a writer. I'll have to see if the library has her books.

Glenda, MGIL is a companion book to CRAZY LADIES and centers on Bitsy's adventures. I hope you enjoy it.

I love your bling. Thanks for the info on the author/blogger.
I hope to read Michael's books this summer...it is on the list! The jewelry is beautiful...sometimes you just have to play, the work can wait.

Oh Glenda, if you create beauties like this, you don't need to be cleaning out closets. Those are gorgeous! I have read "MGIL", and it's great, as are all of her books. I know you're going to enjoy your bargain. laurie
Beautiful necklaces you have created, Glenda. Enjoy the book. It's good, I've read it...Christine
Now that is a fabulous idea for your old watch and it looks fabulous too!
That's a steal for the book and the necklace is so pretty!
Glenda-I love love love that necklace! One of the ladies (from here) who donated her original jewelry to the auction used old watches---Neimann Marcus is selling her pieces now!
Hi Glenda... I love the watch necklace. I have some watches that were my grandmothers I have been wanting to do this with! Bella
It's always more fun to play than work. The work will always be there!
Thanks for your kind words this am. They really meant a lot.
Leann
I love finding great books at a bargain.
Then you can have more!
Have a great weekend and stay out of those closets!

Beautiful necklaces, Glenda. It's raining here, today and I am taking advantage by visiting my blogs.
Happy Weekend!
Thanks so much for the nice comment you left on my blog. The necklace turned out great!

Glenda, Your jewelry is magnificent! I can understand how it would occupy your time and space. Thanks for taking the time to visit me. Smiles, Marla
I love it when I find a good book! The fab watch necklace reminds me of round watch necklaces we wore in the sixties, such a great idea I've got to do that! Thanks for stopping by my tote bag post on my blog and your kind words. I'll be back to visit yours.
How fabulous to find Michael Lee's book! I must see if I can find a copy somehow.
I just love your watch idea too. I have a watch that works but I hate the strap...your idea is just perfect!
Best wishes for a beautiful weekend,
Natasha.
What beautiful necklaces! I do really love the one with the watch.
Hi Glenda
We must be having the same weather again. Had a thunderstorm move through here about an hour ago. Lots of lightning and thunder and heavy rain.
Hope your weather moves through quickly.
OOOOOh this necklace is so pretty! I love your thrifty book find! If you have a moment please stop by, I am giving away a pretty rose teapot for the month of April!
Hugs,
Olivia
First Miss Glenda,let me say your header is gorgeous!~ Those watch necklaces are awesome! Very pretty. Have a great weekend.
Exquisite necklaces. Thanks so much for sharing them with us. I am a new follower and will be back soon. Hope you have a chance to come say hello.
Cheers,
Lia
Love love love your necklaces, Glenda!! Yesterday I found a watch in my bauble jar, and wanted to use it for a necklace... Mine is not as pretty as yours, but not bad at all. Can't wait to see if the result will be pretty as your creation! The pearl necklace is wondrous. Love pearls to pieces!
