never throw anything away....

My friend recently bought a necklace from ebay and although she really liked it it was longer than she really wanted, so I said I could shorten it for her.
This is the shortened necklcace.


Which left me with 16 of these lovely red beads. I couldn't just leave them like that, so I had a rummage through my stash and found some seed beads from an old project and a clasp from an old broken necklace, and I made a whole new necklace for her.

and here's a lovely picture from my holiday in scotland. That rainbow was one of the brightest I have ever seen.

    both sets of beads are gorgeous, but I do love the bottom one, the mix of beads and chain is fab.
    you can clearly turn your hand to anything! I'm sure your friend will love both of them.
