About this design:
This is the lastest piece in a series of these 'charming' necklaces that allow me to use lots of odds and ends from other projects. I love digging around in my various containers and boxes looking for unique beads and charms to put together. It's also this month's jewelry give away on my blog site. If you'd like a chance to win it, just enter a comment on the post. Good Luck!
