New Pearls & Cleaning Up Storm Damage

Winter Blossoms

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!
