Today I wanted to post a different collection I have.  I got the camera out and I was ready to play with some bobbles and beads, otherwise known as vintage jewelry that I inherited from my mom.  I don't get them out often but, when I do they make me smile and think of my mom and her love for beads. 

Unfortunately I couldn't photograph them today ... I realized (after some initial searching and tears that I put the jewels in a "safe" spot and I can't reach them by myself or with out moving a HEAVY bed.  ::sigh::  So, I went around madly clicking another love that I inherited from my mom - stained glass!  I might mention, they all need to be dusted.  ::sigh::

                   
 
Most of the pieces were made by my mom, I made a few - the really simplistic stuff and a few others were pieces I've bought just because I love it! :-)  Because there were a lot, I thought I'd present it as a collage.

Now on to those who played along this week - please take a moment to check out all the beautiful collections here in j-land!
