Dab of This and That

Hope everyone has had a good week, and enjoying the milder temps in most parts of the country.

I have seen a lot of pretty Fall decorations around "blogland". Would love to report that I have decorated for Fall also and have pictures to post, but that is not going to happen today.
I have not even started - It seems like I just put all that away.

I did finish a necklace that I have been working on. Bought these glass beads some time ago, and could never decide what to do with them. Ended up spacing them with crystal seed beads, also added some larger czech crystals and this is the end result.

I think the beads are pretty with the raised roses on them.

I am linking with Cindy @ "Show and Tell Friday" http://romantichome.blogspot.com/
and Laurie @ "A Few of My Favorite Things Saturday" http://bargainhuntingwithlaurie.blogspot.com/
Be sure and visit Cindy and Laurie to see what they and the others have to share this week.

Walked out the door few days ago, and this character was right outside my door and I almost stepped on him - ewww! Actually I have almost stepped on him a couple of times. He is the same one that has been hanging out in the courtyard for a while now. I can walk right up to him, and the flash on the camera does not phase him at all. He seems to stay in one corner more, and I think it is because it is shaded. There is no water , so not sure why he is staying around.

Just another Dab of This and That! :-D

Congratulations! can't wait to hear the birth announcement! You take care and God Bless! Lauralu :)

What a pretty necklace. It is so dainty, I really like the beads. It felt like fall here today. I had the air off finally and the door open most of the day. This morning I walked outside and it felt brisk! I wish it would stay just like this.

First time to your site ....I like it.
I see the picture of your frog ( I guess he is considered yours?). My son, Joshua, was terrified of frogs.

We lost him in a car accident 7 years ago. Needless to say everytime I see a frog it brings back memories.

Love all your jewelry. This necklace is so pretty!

Lovely necklace! I'm sure you're thinking in pink these days :) Good luck to your daughter and that new, soon-to-be granddaughter!

Ohh that necklace is lovely.

Ribbit!

I love this necklace with the soft pink beads and flowers. Very soft looking and sparkly too:-) I think you're going to have to give that little frog a name.

Gloria, that necklace is so pretty. Love the roses on those beads. I'm not surprised your friendly little frog likes your courtyard so much. It is a charming place to live. Thank you for linking up. laurie

When it is hot and humid out, it sure does not feel like fall, since your in the south you don't have to decorate for fall till it cools down to at least 75'!! : ) there does that make you feel better? You sure made a beautiful necklace, and man, I bet your so excited for the new baby girl!

Have a lovely weekend, and thanks so much for stopping by to see me!

Such a beautiful necklace, love the roses. Happy weekend! xo Lidy
