The latest in jewelry!

Some of you may remember earlier this summer when I did this post about the beaded necklaces a few of the residents at our nursing home were making.
You'll have to excuse the picture, but I was laughing when my friend Nancy took it. This is their latest offering in jewelry - pierced earrings! There have been several staff members walking around at our nursing home wearing long beaded earrings.
No, they aren't very practical, and most of us can't wear them for long because the we are allergic to the wires, but they do make a couple of guys happy when they see people wearing them.

  1. I do remember that story, and I knew as soon as I saw the picture of you with the dangling earrings exactly where they came from. :)

  19. Mari,

    What if you made them into a loop instead of a long string? It's the thought that counts and I am sure you are making a lot of people smile!

  20. Oh Mari, it just brings me back to the days of being a kid and making tacky stuff and thinking it was so cool.

    You look stinkin' cute! I love that the residents make this stuff and you humor them. It's so fun!

  21. Hi sweet friend!

    You look adorable!!!! Seriously! I know these "particular" earrings might not be your first choice, but I think long earrings look good on you with your cute haircut.

    Thanks for your birthday wishes and all your visits while I've been AWOL!

    Hugs!
