Well.... Tiny purse handles OR gigantic earrings??? lol. Is this a test? Do they bend? Maybe scarf holders, belt buckles, tiaras, small picture frames, hat adornments, mobiles... Whatever they are or become, they are beautiful..

Guess I should not have jumped right in with a response, but read Brenda21's answer first. At least great minds run the same channels.. - picture frames!!!

I love shiny things, too, Krystyna.. And so do a couple of crows (real huge, black birds) who attached from behind me to get my sparkly headband last year. I don't wear that headband outside in the sun anymore. So don't even think of making headbands out of these things.

Maybe you could have a contest and put one in a few SP and RAK packages and see who comes up with the best design.

Just wanted to share an amusing thing that happened to me today... My birthday is at the end of the month (not saying this to get gifts!!!) and it will be my first year of Social Security eligibility - I may have mentioned that already, though, thus making a long story longer...sorry. Anyway I got two envelopes in the mail today - neither of which was my SP package (just thought I'd throw that in). Soooo, birthdays just aren't what they used to be... One envelope was plain and the other was from the IRS. "Oh Joy" was my first thought. I opened the plain one first - it was information about cremations. Sigh. It turns out that the scary IRS notification was the better of the two. IT was a letter saying that they owe me another $250 in tax refund - I have already received $63 back. I'm to get it in 2-3 weeks. How's that for luck, I ask you???? Now, I can afford the downpayment on a cremation!! Ey,ey, ey!! At least both are less fattening than cake, right?

Krystyna

Are there chains in that box??? and maybe some of these are attached to the chains, take a few out of the box and take pictures... so we can see them better...
