Jewelry jewelry everywhere!!!

I hope all of my family and friends had a wonderful wonderful Thanksgiving!!!! We were invited to Cummings to a wonderful coffee shop for a FEAST! It was like the United Nations all put together over turkey, Russian salads, Italian desserts and lots of love. My nephew and family were with us from North Carolina and along with my daughter's family we were treated to a wonderful day! The lady that owns the restaurant invited us all to come. There were families from Siberia, Russia, Italy, Korea, Mexico, England, Porto Rico & even a few of us Georgians sprinkled in. How delightful to meet with all of the nations celebrating their thankful hearts with ours. I loved the Russian salad made with fish and potatoes (MY hubby gave me his serving). We had all kinds of delights with all kinds of flavors but I tried a serving of them all. Then on Friday we celebrated our family traditions in my home. I am so very very thankful for all of the blessings of our Lord!!!
I finally got the catch redone on my favorite bracelet and sold it at the open house but just wanted you to see what it finished up looking like. Now I have a new "favorite" and this band is so very comfortable and it is pretty besides. I KNOW that it is only a tangible thing that will grow old, with time, but I enjoy beading so very much and I also enjoy sharing them with others. My beautiful beautiful daughter-in-love; has opened her own blog. Please look at the beautiful things she has made and this is her very first blog. "A Little Something Added.blogspot.com"

The teacher I had when I first started beading (BJ) came over to my home and taught three of us two different patterns and I will publish my necklace once it is finished. It was so nice to see her again and to once again be beading. Tomorrow she is coming back for another piece that Melissa and I will be learning together. It is a "bubble" bracelet but I am thinking more into the lines of making a short (very short) piece and make it into a big bead with tassel hanging from the center. The "cuff" that is featured was a gift to my daughter for her 41st birthday! She has worn and worn it and always told me that she loved it and I weakened and finally gave it to her for her special day. I took her to a really nice place for lunch where she ate grilled salmon and creme brule for dessert. We had a lovely day! I think she felt special after we went shopping and a filthy dirty ole' guy started hitting on her. We got the giggles and it just made our day! (Way to go "hot momma"!!!)
These bracelets were made a while back but I just wanted to give you some pics of the inventory.
