Embellishing the Lily

Our last trip to the summer place was a short one, the sewing machine stayed home. A small quilt and container of 'things' and a few beads did however come on vacation with me. (smile) 

I only took a few things along so this is far from finished.  I think it is coming

along nicely.  

I am now in the process of looking for a box (somewhere in the studio) that contains

a small supply of silk ribbon, and some silver embroidery floss. Every garden needs a  spider and  its web.

 
These are parts of a set of ear rings that I bought from a street vendor on Queen Street, when I first lived in Toronto.  The only reason they are still a set after all these many years, is of course due to the difficulty I had putting them in, consequently I think I probably wore them less times then fingers on one hand. What a way to break a set... I am well know for single earrings, and gave up worrying about it a long time ago.  I wear 'odd' pairs all the time, the ear ring police haven't found me yet!
Happy Hump  Day Folks!

El Salvador

I received these lovely ear rings in the mail a few days ago.

They were purchased in El Salvador from a street vendor. Thank you Michael.

I look forward to seeing the many pictures from El Salvadore, where Michael and a group of like minded students worked on a project through "Habitat for Humanity".

I like how  amazingly light these earings are, there are lots of pieces ( and the closure is great) and of course my family knows my tendency to blue. Thus far I prefer to wear one ring, and leave on ear free for the phone and in case some one wants to whisper sweet somethings in my ear, or nuzzle my ear lobe there is an ear available.

I  wonder about younger ladies that have many ear piercing, yielding much metal in their ear lobes and outer ears
I wonder...where can a young man safely nuzzle the ear, without potential damage to the enamel on his teeth?  Give the guy
a break... don't make it the enamel on  his teeth.
These earrings are also 'warm weather earrings', when one doesn't wear lots of clothing to keep shoulders and neck warm....unless of course you have a long neck as these have a long dangle to them.
Thanks again, Michael hugs to you.
