| Is't this a neat idea? I'm thinking icky costume jewelry from Christmases past, that somehow got misplaced, accidentally of course, LOL!
Don't laugh, but I was picturing this on a bathroom wall, sorta like bathroom humor! I have the perfect spot for it, between the tank and the vanity cabinet! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=270194564697&s sPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=017 |

| no laughter here...not only are these folk art but highly collectable. I have a nice collection large and small. Some of the jewelry put on these when they were a popular handicraft in the 70's are now making these very very expensive to purchase. I don't collect the ones with the lights but I do collect the others. ginger Here's a quick link to a few of mine I have both collected and made... |

| That is really a pretty one. I have been planning to make one for a while, that picture will help me a lot. |

| The light up one that is listed on ebay has been viewed 569 times! And has one bid for $15. - I like it but some of that old jewelry is pretty valuable these days, not sure I'd include it in a tree - great use for the zillions of costume earrings that are around, though. Suzan J |

| :) it's one of the few uses I've ever found for those horrible strands of pseudo-beads, besides princess costuming for my god-babies (who have now started making their own stuff - it's an amazing feeling when a kid goes from asking for stuff - to asking for the tools to try it herself) they make perfectly acceptable garland for minature trees :) but wow - I hadn't really thought of anything 'new' to do with the crappy costume jewelry that inevitably gets mixed in with the bag lots I pick up because there's a handful of glass beads in the bottom... :) I think I feel a new project coming on! |
