Healing with Jewelry from My Friends

Necklaces made for sisters with mother’s beads

During my recovery from my ankle injury my friend Anne brought me old costume jewelry from her mother.

These projects kept me busy and creative during my recuperation. I am so grateful that my friends save me jewelry from their family estates.

I sold some of my pieces during the Christmas season and I remade other pieces for Anne and her sisters.

Anne was surprised with these pieces!
