STEPHIE'S BEADS AND BAUBLES

New treasures for me !!!!

I am so excited to have found some treasures today. I had a little money to spend and a bit of jewelry earnings as well so we went by the thrift store up near us and for once, they had some nice jewelry. They rarely have any good stuff, but I won the lotto today…

My prettiest set of wine charms yet !!

It was suggested to me by our Debt Coach over at Debt Squad, while we were talking about my jewelry and wine charms, that grapes might be a nice thing to try on my charms, so I was able to find some very nice grapes here on Etsy and here they are. I used some…
