Tuesdays Treasures

Tuesdays Treasures  is hosted by Melody of the House on the Side of the Hill , it is fun each week to choose something or someone we treasure , it makes us realize just how blessed we are. Well this week I have another very special treasure to share with you , first you might want to go to this post and read the history behind today's treasure ,it isn't necessary but it will give you a better idea where my treasure came from.
  My friend Linda has a friend who makes jewellery and I asked Linda if it would be possible for her to make my little treasure into a pendant for a necklace and she said she was sure she could do that so I brought my small little piece of smooth beach glass to Linda who passed it on to her friend and I was absolutely delighted last Tuesday when she passed  me this beautiful piece of jewellery .
 Isn't it incredible, the glass is tucked safely inside this masterpiece of twisted wires .I can't wait to share it with Elise , I hope she will remember giving me the glass , I do think she will , she might want it back when she sees this but it will remain with me for a few years and someday I will give it back to her.  We had hoped to see the girls over Easter weekend but mother nature had other plans as we had a snow storm , yes in April , so much so that many churches had to cancel their services , I do not ever remember that happening on Easter before. The snow is now melting as we had a lovely sunny morning which now has changed to rain so the snow is a short term pain in the rear but the farmers are probably happy , we can always use a little extra moisture for the upcoming growing season. Things will grow won't they?
 I didn't get much sewing done over the weekend , ok none is more like it , I did some hand stitching but that was it so this afternoon I hope to finish up another dress, I 'll update you when I finish or actually have something to show , at the moment it is in pieces :-)
 To see more treasures be sure to hop on over to visit with Melody ,there is sure to be some lovely treasures for you to view . Thanks for stopping by on this wet Monday , I am getting this ready a head of time so I can go quilting in the AM. I am on lunch tomorrow .
 Hugs Sheila

  7. I remeber the story and it was the first thing I thought of when you mentioned sending it to some one to make something even more special out of it. I think she will be thrilled to see what has become of the treasure she gave her grandma :)

  9. Oh how nice Sheila; a great way to keep and show this treasure off to everyone. It is amazing. I took my daughter-in-law for her road test this morning; picked up a commissioned quilt and bought a little fabric while there...lol.

    So a pretty good day over all.

  13. I do remember the story you shared about Elise giving you that lovely piece of beach glass. And oh my, what a gorgeous necklace it has become. Linda's friend did an awesome job of making just the right setting to both protect and show off the glass. I know it's something you'll treasure for a long time to come!

    XOXO,
