Last week, I went to Micheal's to see about using my 40% off coupon. Instead, I found 50% off strung beads. I left we three different strands; small silver leaves, turquoise nuggets and mixed metal spikes attached to a bit of copper chain. It was the spikes that called to me first. One bead, three pieces of jewelry...

                                                     A charm bracelet.

                                                     A lariat style necklace.

                                       A necklace that's just a touch longer than choker.
