Filigree Brass Wrapped Czech Bird Art Glass Button Necklace

♥Coming Home♥

The focal on this beautiful necklace is a Czech, fired crystal Bird Art Glass button. I just fell in love with it! I was finally able to find a few more of these! It is wrapped in filigree brass.

This particular button is back after 120 years. The button was made from a 19th century, old mold. It was hand crafted in the Czech Republic and was hand pressed and hand painted using original czech methods that haven't changed in over two hundred years. The necklace was finished with a filigree repousse clasp.

New Brass and Glass Earrings

Here are a couple of earrings that I have listed in my Etsy shop this week. My sister-in-law from Charlotte, NC will be visiting with us today. My husband left to go and pick her up from her mothers. This is all that I had time to do today! I can't wait until she gets here. I haven't seen her in over a year!

This is the little poem that I shared with Leanne when I entered my picture of Mo-Jo:

I am worried…..
you are there.
I am so sad…..
you are there.
I reach out and touch you…..
you are there.
I am so very joyful…..
you are there.
I will never take for granted one minute of our lives…..
that we have been blessed to share.

We had a great walk today across Hoover Dam in the woods! We got to go up and down little hills.....great exercise for me! The doggies are camped out on either side of me recovering! It's another nice day today with sun and some clouds.
I feel so alive!

My house has been invaded by Boy Scouts! My son and friends are planning their menu for the next Iron Chef Camp Out Competition. I think they came in second last year. My youngest son loves to cook! Now we women know, when a man cooks.....it's usually pretty good! My son has made doughnuts from scratch, fry bread.....my husband loves it! and lots of other good eats!
