Hope everyone has enjoyed their weekend. It has been a quiet one under my roof (thank you). Attended an art show and reception Friday evening which was very nice - some great art work , company and food. Did manage to get some of the leaves cleaned up on Saturday, but that will be an on going job for a while. Also went to an estate sale Saturday and bought 3 pieces of jewelry to work with, one of which turned out to be worth a lot more than I paid :-D - more on that on another post.
On the cool side again today and my allergies are having a "hay day", so stayed inside and worked on another necklace.
Some of you may remember, in mid October I posted here about these vintage earrings
and these vintage rhinestone buttons that I bought at an estate sale.
Welllll - I got out my trusty tools
and a few supplies
and after a bit of time
I came up with this .................
Actually, I am not through with it, as I did not have a black clasp to use. Depends on what type of clasp I get, I may add another element on the back. I think it looks better than the pictures - When I grow up I am going to get me a "big girl" camera. :-D

Lovely...looks vintage, but oh so trendy...does that make sense? lol. I really like it ;o)
Oooh, love the color in those gorgeous earrings. Great job on the makeover. It looks like a gun metal finish? Really like that look.
