A Little Extra Time

There is a little extra time now to work on small projects.

Things I put aside until there wasn't a deadline looming.

Today is just that sort of a day. I have nothing on my schedule and no desire to leave the house.

This very pretty necklace was purchased in Paris in April.

In my haste to remove the price tag...I managed to cut the ribbon too.

I could not believe I had cut the main ribbon holding everything together...so today I plan to fix this necklace. It was meant to be a gift....but it will most certainly join my collection now.
