To those who commented earlier on a necklace

Thank you for the nice feedback! As soon as Della teaches me how to reply to a comment, I will. Rosie, I did look at your blog and decided, even after wedding cake, that your baking was making me want to head to the kitchen.

JOYOUS OCCASION OCCURS IN BEALETON, VIRGINIA!
Ansil (oldest son) and his bride Danielle, married May 29, 2010.
The wedding was wonderful, and everyone seemed to enjoy the reception. Danielle's parents, Tim and Cindy Burrington, rented a wonderful white tent, her godmother and aunt did lots of beautiful flowers, and Aimee from Christ Covenant did a three tier cake.
There were chickens and baby goats for the children, and I hear every little girl went away with a bouquet.

Coral Reef Brown

This set started with a neat focal bead ( I think I begged it off my sister Susan). The brown coral is from Michael's (half price, so $2). The metal beads are copper. The other beads are dalmation jasper and some unidentified cream stones. I like the way all the subtle colors worked together, even though I wouldn't usually pair a black and white stone with browns.
