It's funny, you don't wear much of the jewelry you create and I have to admit, I don't have one painting I have created! My mom has my first one, because it was a gift.

It's funny - when our family watches post-apocalyptic type movies and my husband and son speculate on how it would be if we lost all our money and home etc... and I always say, we'd be the wealthy ones because I'd still have my beads! hahahah!

When I was about 2, I shoved one so far up my nose it got stuck. lol My grandmother worked in a bead shop in Yonkers, sewing them onto gowns and tops that were sold in high end boutiques in Manhattan. She used to keep a cookie tin full of beads and sequins in her apt that I loved to look through all the time.
