Pink Saturday May 22




Welcome to Pink Saturday. Be sure to visit Beverly, our hostess, at How Sweet the Sound for the complete list of Pink Lovers.

If you visited last week, you know my dilemma was what to do with these pink Rhodonite beads



I didn't know if I should accent them with black beads



Or crystal beads



Or pearls



After trying several different combinations, I decided they were pretty enough on their own



Using sterling silver accent daisies, I threaded them on a sterling silver chain



I finished it off with a sterling silver toggle clasp with oxidized accents

Each week Beverly challenges us to visit at least one blog we haven't visited before and then give them a shout out. So this week I invite you to visit Lindsay at This, That and the Other and Lynn at Teacup Stitches. (I'll let you in on a secret, I visit just about all the Pinkers each weekend. Although I don't always leave a message, it is fun to see all the Pinks.) And don't forget to visit next week for the 2nd Birthday of Pink Saturday. I heard there was going to be Pink Cake!!!!

Thanks for visiting. Have a great weekend.
Nancy
