Granny Nancy says:What a great idea for a pick. I’ve noticed her jewelry as well. I notice everybody’s jewelry. I love these especiall the Opalites. Good luck in getting a PoD.

Kathryn R says:Thanks, Nancy. I had been thinking of this pick for a long time. However, lately I’ve noticed Madame Speaker has replaced her necklace with a face mask around her neck when she’s speaking. Then, on it goes when she’s not

Little Round Chick says:Beautiful selection of beads with great colors. I don’t watch the news any more (too depressing) but I channel surf and always check out any jewelry I see. Then there is JTV, QVC, HSN and who knows how many others… jewelry over load!
