Silk and beads...

are 2 lovely things
that grace 2 lovely girls
adorable chubby wrists

and to me...
it's so much more than silk and beads.
God blessed me with 2 lovely girls.
...that can wear silk and beads.
What a lovely blessing indeed!









I love thrift store finds and vintage treasures
and now I love etsy too!

*************

I found these beautiful little bracelets here.
At gremadcha.

The moment I saw these bracelets in her etsy shop I just knew I had to have them! They are unbelievably precious -- with a -- vintage flare that I love!

And it's supporting moms -- at home with their beautiful babies!

Greta is a graduate of Art School who chose the marriage and mama path. She drives a minivan and cares for her 3 children 4 and under and has 1 babe on the way. At night she reads mysteries and makes things -- for you and me!

If you were wondering about her shop name... it's the first three letters of her and her younger sister and brothers names: Greta, Madeline and Charlie. She knows it's hard to say... but it's so sentimental she can't give it up!

If you want to know more about her you can check out her blog here.

And the best thing for you...
besides the privileged of seeing adorable pictures of my daughters chubby wrists {grin}

Greta has graciously offered to give one of you this necklace from her etsy shop

I know you have stopped by it a few times, (I also have twins)... anyway, I know you are a popular person, but if you'd like to stop in and read about our case with the twins, just send me an email at Mashelhall@comcast.net so that I can add you to my list. Thanks.
