~!~ My String Pearls Necklace ~!~


When I was a Child the last thing I wanted for CHRISTmas
 was a string of Pearls !
But as luck would have it the same girl in my class would draw my name every year ... well for at least 3 years in a row!
&
I would get the usual .99 cent strand of fake pearls every year.
I never worn any of them.
I wasn't your pearl necklace kind of gal back then.
In fact I was quite the ~Tom Boy ~ outdoors type of girl.
I was always riding my horse, squirrel hunting, or fishing in a creek or some farm pond with my brother.


Childhood memories of CHRISTmas past.


Yes, today I wish I had keep them all ! 


I have found that I like the
Vintage Elegance
that they have
&
 so I have collected several strands to adorn my home.


some are single strands & some have several strands


some are Blinged out


some are
dainty & delicate


some
 are child size


I have clustered several
 types & lengths
 together


I found most of them at

 Thrift Shops ~ Yard Sales
 &
Flea Markets


funny how "Age" can change some things



A Very MERRY CHRISTmas
&
Happy New Year
 to
 You & Yours
