I finally went shopping for a few supplies and picked up some better quality wire and the pretty blue pearls. I wish I could have found an egg shape pearl in that color, but nothing at that time. I couldn't find an egg shaped bead of any kind actually. So I broke down and used some Vintage beads I have been saving, and I made a nest and put it on a chain with a lovely key I had already.

Today I recieved 2 giveaways that I won in the OWOH event, funny how they are from different parts of the world and arrived on exactly the same day :)
Below is an intial soldered charm from Xela in Germany . I was drawn to her blog right away because I just love the style of what she creates. Take a minute and visit her at Cottage Dreams

It makes a nice addition to my new charm necklace :) Wonder if I will wear it much, I am really not a jewelry person, I love to look at it and have it but I don't often wear it. I really should deck myself out more even if I do stay home a lot.

Thanks so much Cia, I am so happy, and I especially love the tiny bee skep, which was a lovely surprise :)
Guess what I did today? I was outside cleaning up the front garden for a while, I even had to take off my sweater. I had a t shirt underneath of course. It was so warm in the sun. I realized after twenty minutes how out of shape I am after the winter, so I left more work for another day. Ohhhhhhhh it was so nice to be out in the sun and in the dirt, especially after 4 days dark gloomy weather. Hope it stays like this for a while.
Take care peeps,
Lynn
