KittyMom Linda says:This is great- I’ll bet The Girl From Uncle or Emma Peel (Avengers) would love this one. I know I do. I remember the 60′s – this would have fit in, but it’s timeless so it works just as well now, and next year too!

KittyMom Linda says:Oh, very clever name too!

Little Round Chick says:“Saw an eyeball peeking through a smoky cloud behind the green door…” Anyone remember that song?
Great looking necklace, Nonnie, even if the rings with the dark centers look like eyeballs.

KittyMom Linda says:I think that song was from the 50′s I’m an early 50′s model so I only vaguely remember ABOUT the song, not the song itself.

Chickie Nonnie T says:Thank you all for your kind words. I haven’t worn this one yet. I actually made it a couple of weeks ago. I feel like I should dress retro when I wear it, and I’m just a little too old to wear a mini skirt. Now bell bottoms, that’s another story. Were they the 60′s or the 70′s or both/
