When we were in Duluth a month ago, I found some beads in a shop that reminded me of my friend, Miranda, because of jewelry and colors I’ve seen her wear. I purchased the beads — the rectangular ones — and fashioned them the next day into the emsemble you see in the photo. I also made a pair of matching earrings. We went to dinner last night to mark the anniversary of a special occasion in her life and I gifted her with this set. She seemed to like it, and it made me feel good to see someone else appreciating something I had made with my own hands. My creativity doesn’t run very deep, but this is something I can do with some success, and I always like giving my creations as gifts.
