Pearls and Fire

 Love the flat back pearls on these earrings.  The Earrings are 1 1/2″ long X 1″ wide and can be yours for only $15.00.  All jewelry has been sealed with polyurethane to assure long life of each piece.   All quilling on this site is rolled by hand  – no machine rolling device has been used. 

This pair of earrings will be in an upcoming show the first week-end of May.  Come on out and look at all the hand-made items that will be there.  Lots of “one of kind” gift items.  

Oh wow, come on Rain.  We need Rain and we all need it now.  Now before our country burns up.  Too much acreage has already been burnt and too many homes lost.  Have you seen this many fires in your lifetime?  Do not think I have.  Smoke filled lungs and this is from people inside city limits, not out there fighting the fires.  Firemen are getting tired and need relief.  The bravery of these men – all I can say is Thank you, thank you, thank you.  And pray for their safety, they put themselves in harm way to protect others.  Fighting fire is dangerous and hard, hard work.  Pray that no more lives be taken during these fires.
