While I was unpacking another box of French brocante treasures, I came a cross one of those big monk's or nun's rosaries made from big carved wooden beads. It was broken, the cross was missing and one decade was incomplete, but the rest was still beautiful and I couldn't walk past it at the brocante. I thought it would be rather nice to make chunky bracelets with the beads, and use some of the lovely old religious medals as charms. Thats what I did this morning. And somehow, it made me feel good when I was wearing it.
Finally got all the colours in my printer replaced as well, so I could print out some more beautiful images this morning. Had to make a tag straight away, because I was still in the bracelet frame of mind -
The tag went off with this little package this morning -
