These used to be on my Mom's kitchen table and I would play with them while sitting and talking to her. She put those beads in there, that is just her personality. She loved sparkly things. Now they are on my table and I think of her often.
You've got some lovely things to look at and think of her... It's more than 18 months since my Mom passed away, not a single day has gone by without thinking of her... Take care!
