Mother's Day Jewelry

Now that we're done with Easter, we have to get ready for Mother's Day. We're also getting busy with birthdays.

For my mom, I made a sterling bird's nest necklace that has each of our birthstones as the "eggs" in the nest. I added a little pearl to the top for my niece's birthstone (the only grandchild).

I wrapped the nest in an old book page and tucked it inside a glassine bag that I decorated with a tag. The background is a leftover piece of a watercolor painting I did. I added scraps of paper and ribbon and a Crafty Secrets image.

I also made a pair of earrings using some of my Vintaj stash. If you'd like to purchase these, send me an email. I like them too much to list them on etsy, but you might be able to convince me to let them go :)

I used Vintaj solid brass findings and filigree piece, then added vintage pearl beads, flower cabochons, and czech glass beads.
