A rainy afternoon often gave us the perfect opportunity to crawl onto our mom's bed and open up that rosy jewelry box. I remember how one time my sister and I played tug of war with one of Mom's longer necklaces. I don't remember what started that "competition", but I do remember falling backward as the necklace snapped in two. I also remember that Mom was not happy.septembermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01570525910483384484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7035237221401815009.post-35932483627512631842010-05-27T15:20:50.599-04:002010-05-27T15:20:50.599-04:00The upstairs closet at my grandmother's house ...The upstairs closet at my grandmother's house smelled like face powder and mothballs. There was nothing in there I wasn't allowed to play with, old hats and purses, costume jewelry, even the face powder I could smell and a bright red lipstick, which I'm sure she ended up wishing hadn't been in the closet but never said anything to me.belhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01247590943276439138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7035237221401815009.post-14651735320084655292010-05-26T10:36:53.262-04:002010-05-26T10:36:53.262-04:00Looking in Mom's Jewelry Box

It's a great way to use your creativity to make a gift for someone or for yourself, and also spend some great time with people you love. I'm looking forward to another session of jewelry-making with my family the next time we gather.Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05725881252851352861noreply@blogger.com
