Nancy Mc says:Deb…you certainy have a way of turning a clearnance item into an heirloom look. This piece is so soft and pretty! It’s looks Victorian.

Deb Harding says:Thank you Becky and Nancy. Nancy I think what gave that effect is the ring I hung it from. I just happened to find it in my stash. As well as.all the glass beads. None purchased at same time or place but matched.

Nancy Mc says:By the way…’clearnance’ is a real word. It means,”Nance found another bargain.”
Ha ha ha ha. It really means. “Nance had 3 cups of coffee.”
(Clever typo,no)?

Deb Harding says:LOL I gave up on correcting my typos on here so I don’t judge. Teeny phone keyboard makes the mistakes not me.
HaHa.

Asia says:I like everything with birds, love the colors in this one, you definitely are a queen of bargains, this looks gorgeous

Deb Harding says:Thank you Asia. I got lucky when I had beads that matched thats for sure. I am a bargain shopper that is correct. Just a picky one.

Crazy Chick Frida says:The colors are great with that lovely quail pendant
Among others I have japanese quail

Deb Harding says:Wow Frida there must be quite a menagerie at your house. So you have any of those fancy chickens? They are so pretty.
Oh and thank you.

Elis Mom says:I have the same pendant in my stash! Love your design! I may have to “borrow” a few ideas….
On Dec 23, 2012 at 8:14 pm #
Deb Harding says:LOL I actually have another one. Believe or not I bought them for the extra charms that came with them. I liked the pendant but NEEDED the charms for a pair of earrings. And they were clearanced! My style!
You know I don’t care if you borrow an idea….that’s why we share them here isn’t it.

Julie Shane says:Perfect! Another example of Keep It Simple and let the stones and pendant speak for themselves. I really like the 3 tiny crystals (of course!!!) on either side of the pendant ring because they give a little bit of movement and pop!!!

Deb Harding says:Thank you Julie.
