About this design:
OMG! Sis and I went to a bead show this weekend and I saw these mushroom beads. I've seen them in red and black before, and I've said "I wish they had green ones." Well, my wish came true, cause here they are.
These remind me of the hours my sister and I spent with our Nintendo playing the 1st Mario Brothers game. These earrings just bring a giant smile to my face.

amkcreations aka Amanda says:Kevin Pollak just had a special on not too long ago where he was talking about his girlfriend playing the old Mario Brothers late and night and how his speech pattern started to match the song patterns after hours of listening to her. I almost wet myself, but I find myself singing the song when I look at these too. Lol. Thanks for the positive feedback ladies!
