“"Mama's new blue dress"”

Description from Brenda H: My little mother is 93, and lives in an assisted living facility. Now that I make jewelry, she's so proud! If she gets a new outfit, then I make her jewelry for that outfit. She loves to tell the other little ladies that she has more jewelry now than she's owned in her lifetime. And last week-end, she got a new powder blue. Got to get to work on a design.
