For the past six months I have been wearing a beautiful handcrafted necklace of Turquoise and black glass beads. It is the precise length for my diminutive neck and everything from tank tops and skirts in the summer to velvet and candlelight in the winter.  A workplace friend designed and presented this necklace to me on my birthday.  She now has a number of designs available at http://www.sonothomemade.blogspot.com/ Check it out! And be generous with yourself and others.
