Crystal Canary says:Beautifully done. The wooden leaf works well with the autumn colors of the bird & necklace. When we find specialty beads that we fall in love with, it’s hard to buy just one. I can see why you had to have another!

Granny Nancy says:Love the necklace so much. Great fall colors. Your little bird is awesome. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I’m a lot behind in so many things. Had to see my chiropractor for a very painful neck from an inflamed nerve. He helped a lot but need to go back again next week.
