My great aunt made beaded jewelry for several years between the 1950's and 1970's.
This is a lone earring I've saved. No idea what's happened to the other.
But I do have quite a collection of the rings she made. I love all the color!
I inherited her stash and it sits in the unassuming little orange tackle box.
But inside? Pretties! :)
Matches were only two cents but she still re-used the box to store some beads.
I absolutely love the fun color in these acrylic beads.
This package only cost 29 cents new.
Not sure what it came off of or what I'll use it for but I do like this little cherub.
Faux pearls galore.
There are quite a few of these labels (and the box it's resting on) but I'm not sure what they held.
So there you are - finally! A peek into one I not only inherited beads from but also a desire to create.
