Recently, Robin and I were able to attend a jewelry class with Shea Fragoso, Debbie Murray, and Kaari Meng in Dallas, Texas.

Shea and Deb are a mother-daughter combo forming the Gilded Life, they are amazing, talented women and have great hospitality. Also, they know how to serve desserts, lots of them. Until 2 in the morning.
The charm that the Gilded Life girls taught was breathtaking. The techniques were new to me and that made me feel adventurous.

This was a pleasure to put together. I originally did not attach the "shine" charm to the necklace because I thought that it may be to heavy, but, it is really beautiful all together. Aside from the class itself, I had a blast with the Texas mommas and my bird. Robin gave out lil' gifts (stamped fabric swatch w/vintage buttons), Heather A. did as well (thanks for the beaded charm!), and so did Shea and Deb (the initial necklace)! Thanks to all of you!
I received an extra gift from Robin, I am in love with the packaging.
It is a thimble, I love it so and I will use it once I can break the seal on the bag. It will take a little while longer to do that, by summer, I'm sure.
I had fun with everyone that night, especially Stacy "I can't sew" McGiness, who apparently does not realize that she is a Texas momma.
