Bracelets, necklace, bracelets, Oh My!

Saturday is here! Got to go to Branson, MO yesterday with my dear friends, Jessica & Cindy. We went to a Farm Girls sale and it was exciting. We all bought a few things. Cindy bought some bar stools that are really neat! Of course, we just had way too much fun!

I have been busy with my granddaughter, Krystan, and of course, working on some jewelry projects. Let me share a couple of pictures with you.

This is a six strand memory wire bracelet. It's made from beads that I had forgotten I had. Am I the only one with this problem?? I don't usually put two rows of the same beads, but I just wanted something that really would be out of the box for me. These are all glass beads. I love the combination of square beads with round beads and ending with a rough cut bead. This looks great on Krystan, so she will be wearing it to school in August.

Light green/medium green beads with a very light green heart shaped bead. Will finish the ends off with a heart shaped bead for a charm effect. These are either an 8mm or 10mm bead.. They are larger than what I normally use on my bracelets.



Swirled color glass beads with crystal beads. They shimmer and throw off different colors as you move your arm. Ended with a blue dangle. Krystan picked out the beads for this. I got them on sale at our local Sugar Gems (they are on Facebook) in Harrison, AR. I have $9.00 invested in a bracelet that would sell anywhere from $20 to $45, depending on the location. Krystan got to try it on for the first time last night. This will be another school bracelet. Makes me feel good when a teenager likes my work.

A simple, but feminine pink ribbon necklace with a dragon fly. The dragon fly is a popular item to have on any piece of jewelry. I don't know if it is to symbol good luck or because of the movie, it is still very popular. My daughter in law has a small dragon fly tattoo on top of her foot and it's really cute. You only see it in the summer time when she wears a flip flop type sandal.

Found these braided pony bands (10 for $1.00) at our Dollar General. I put a charm in the middle of a couple of them and I have bracelets. Krystan thought they were pretty neat. Guess, if you needed to put your hair in a pony tail, just take off your bracelet and it's done. I find it amazing when you take an item and use it for something else. It's like recycling! Only these are new items.

Well, as I close for this time, I want to wish you a Happy Memorial Day weekend. Two more days off. If you get a chance, thank a vet for serving for our country. Just take a few days out of your day to be thankful. Drive careful! Until next time - Nana Jan
