Oh Mary!

Mary Harding had a Valentine's sale in her etsy store, and I could not resist! I bought a pendant and two toggle clasps. I could not wait to get them. The package came. I opened it. I was amazed! This is how it came!She wrapped it with a beautiful ribbon that I will surely use in some jewelry designs, but she also included a tiny little heart pendant as well. OMG - how cute!
Here's a closeup of the pendant and the ribbon, and her beautiful brand sticker on the box!
The pendant - she also included ribbon and a card, with a description of the item on the back.
One of the toggles. Not only does she wrap them in a little cellophane bag, but she wraps the entire package on the inside with pretty purple tissue paper.
Mary Harding is a great artist, but she is also incredibly thoughtful in how she packages and sends her work. She must take a great deal of time doing this! Not only was I thrilled to get what I ordered, but it was like a present opening the package. Thank you Mary. You should check out her shop!

The Tacky Earring Blog Hop

Diana Ptaszynski had a great idea, instead of a Tacky Christmas Sweater blog hop, a Tacky Holiday Earring blog hop! I was on it.  I had ideas right away.  I had so many I had to control myself.  You can buy these for $15 each, too!  Here we go! I found these awesome wreaths in the miniature Christmas section in Michaels, and they go perfectly with silver and copper colored plastic beads! These trees were found in Michaels, on an end-cap - I assume they are scrapbook or card making supplies, but make fantastic earrings.  The holes were a little small and far down, so I had to make LARGE loops.  Paired these with cute little gold colored jingle bells! And, finally, the ones I had in my head the moment she announced the blog hop.  Dr. Seuss sparkly puff balls with ribbons.  The only thing that would have made these better for me is if I could have found the red ribbons I really wanted to pair these with - don't get me wrong, the silver is cool and all, but in my head they w
