Little Round Chick says:I agree with Harmony on Strings and understand the “had-to-have-them” philosophy. I think it is common among beaders.:D

Little Round Chick says:BTW, love the prop. I have something similar, it is a charcoal iron from the Philippines. Maybe it would make a good prop. Hummmmmmm…

Faithful Chick aka Faith says:I have 2 or 3 of those old irons. My Gramma used to tell me about the live in lady she had using them. I used to play with them and do my dollies laundry. I had more fun with those old things.
I love the ensemble. Wonderful and beautiful combination. Miss Pam and a good name for it also.
