A Little Bit Cagey
About this design:
When I first saw the Ezel cage pendant, I thought it looked lonely. The little chubby bird was just begging for a home. Now all is well. He swings around a little bit when I walk... whimsy!
Components:
Lima Beads: Ezel bird cage pendant and Ezel chubby bird (antique copper). Czech toasted marshmallow table cut ovals. Dancing coin chain and flat ring chain. TierraCast meadow heishi. Flowers-in-teardrop clasp. My Stash: Small brown pearls. Matte copper rounds.Additional Images:

Deb Harding says:Cute little birdie…so glad you gave him a home.
Continuing on the question I asked you. They left in 1972 moved to California. You would be the same age as Robby the youngest. Donna would hace graduated in 1971. She was some prize winning head majorette apparently could throw the baton higher than its been thrown.
Randy would hace been 1973 a prodigy marh wiz, Brenda was Little Miss Brevard County and a.bunch of other titles, was even a princess in the jimior Miss.Orange Bowl pageant and parade.
