Treasures by Louise

I had a strand of 'ugly' beads, think they are plastic, and a wild combination of colors. My mother found them at a rummage sale. I set them aside, not knowing what I would do with such beads. I recently pulled them out and sorted them by color. I found the green and orange colored ones went nicely with some assorted beige glass beads, they made up into a very nice necklace. I'm showing it today in honor of earth day. It has inspired me to create more upcycled jewelry coming soon!

Here is such a pretty nut dish I found last week amongst some other treasures. It is in excellent condition, and would be perfect for serving snacks at your next tea party or holiday event.  I am currently using it to keep track of my beads while I'm creating! I hope to soon post pics of my necklaces! Meanwhile, visit my Etsy store LilyandJasmine for this and other delicious finds.
