Now that I understand your cleverness in the title, Sue, I can appreciate the arrangement of your design! Lovely lettuce and rye bread to go with that beautiful “a-baloney”!!! ROTFLOL

This is my kind of a-baloney – LOL. But seriously I had not idea how pretty smoky quartz would be with the abalone. I will have to test this one out – thanks for the inspiration.

I’ve never tried them together either, Leigh, but this pick of Sue’s has got my brain thinking in new directions. It really looks beautiful!

Oooooh, I like this – the colors look so nice together – and an abalone and smoky quartz necklace would go with so many things.

I love this pick! The blend of colors is wonderful. Like Leigh and Lynn,I’ve never thought of using the smoky quartz with the abalone, but it’s a beautiful combination!

Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:

Well shucks, ladies, I was just hungry, that’s all! LOL!

ACC, you are correct – the adventurine and moonstone are lettuce!

I didn’t know how well the smoky quartz would go with abalone either, until I decided I needed dark bread! I can’t wait to try this out!

Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:

Well, Lynn, I’d have to go 40 miles for some a-baloney, so I guess I’d just better work on the bead combo!

Thanks, Mayan Chick! Glad to give you a chuckle for the day!
