“Mom, do I look cute?” my daughter asked as she studied herself in the full-length mirror. “Yes, you do look cute. But honey, it really won’t matter how you look. We will be in a building full of nothing but nerdy women.”

I fell in LOVE with this necklace. I didn’t have any money with me, but want it like a little girl jumping up and down crying kind of want it. You can see this woman’s incredible work HERE. I hope that whomever gets this piece will love it just as much as I did!

Some people go to Craft Shows for sea-glass jewelry ideas. Others go to look at handmade clothing and art. And then there are those who go for…. The Soup.
