Vintage Necklaces & Weekend Fun

I finally decided to use my vintage pieces and put together some necklaces. I made these four this weekend. I mixed some old with some new.
Two of the rhinestone pieces I picked up Friday at Craft Depot, along with a couple other pieces: the faux pearls and long boxes - all for less than $20!
This was my craft table this weekend..oh dear.
Today, I went out with my long time friend, Denise. We had a wonderful lunch at Tender Greens in Walnut Creek. I can't wait to go back again! Although, get the pepper chicken instead of the sirloin.
Denise and I have known each other since Jr. High School and we also went to college together.
I also wanted to share a picture of me and my daughter. It's her first time wearing make up in public.  The only other time she's worn makeup is during a ballet recital. Rachel's girl friend put it on her - just some eye shadow and eye liner. My little girl is growing up so fast! That faux fur vest I'm wearing is my new favorite fashion item, thanks Frances for picking it up for me - love it! I wore two of my new necklaces this weekend too. I can't wait to find more vintage pieces to make more necklaces. I'm on a necklace kick!
