Good morning, dear readers!
I hope you are all doing well. We had some very rough weather last night- straight line winds, heavy rain, and some light hail. There are a lot of limbs and branches down on our property, but that is the extent of the damages we sustained. We are fortunate. I do have the unexpected bonus of having several large pine tree branches that fell across one of my favorite trails. They are loaded with pine cones. I plan to harvest them and use them for displays, Christmas ornaments and various other decorations.
I did get to take some images of the new pearls I received Monday.
I love to use larger button pearls as accents for pendant and brooch centers.
These bright purple/fushia pearls were too tempting to resist & I have just the perfect silk thread to go with them!
And I cannot pass up beautiful bronze pearls. They work great with the colors I prefer to tat with.
Well, I had better get back outside and continue with the clean-up around the house. We will be working all weekend to clean up the paths in the woods, but I have plans for the pine cones and a few other nature treasures that blew in. Have a wonderful day & until tomorrow~
Happy Tatting!
Glad to hear you are safe, And what a shame about your trees, but the benefits of the pine cones must out weigh the loss of a few branches.

Glad you're OK. And pine cones can be fun to decorate, but I'm wondering how you eliminate the sticky sap.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a stash of pearls! All are beautiful! I'm sure you'll make good use of them.
