barrette I saw at the mall
There's a store at the mall near us called Pink World. Mostly it's full of
frilly stuff that I wouldn't be caught dead in, although they have some great little handbags (beaded), and necklaces and barrettes. It's more of a teen store. Yesterday, I took my daughter in there (joke is she hates pink), and I fell in love with a French clip barrette. It had lots of pink sparkly crystals in shapes of dragonflies. But the stunning part of the barrette was the dangly bits that also held more crystals. I didn't buy it ($28 and only in pink, which wouldn't go with most of my work outfits), but I've got designs on making one for myself that's suitable for work. If anyone's muse is calling, I thought it was a smart idea. Maybe others will fall prey to the charms of a barrette with dangly bits as well. |

I'm not much of a barrette wearer but your post reminded me of some hair things I found a few weeks ago at Hobby Lobby. They are these neat little square hair clips (bend to open/close) for hiding in/under your hair. They have small holes on 3 sides to attach hanging beads. There was only one small package, lost and alone at the very bottom of the display, and I have no idea what they are called to find more. At the time I was thrilled and had such inspiration to make one up with several long beaded strands but... they got shuffled deeper into a box I guess. I'll have to go find them and make something nice!!! And btw, how are you doing lately? Hope everything is getting better and better for you and yours! -- Polly -- don't spook my groove... icq 13968113 http://saxoncreek.com/ |

The dangly parts to the barrette I saw only had one bead on a wire chain.
Just 4 or 5 dangles to the whole barrette. I imagine if it was too encumbered it'd weigh the whole thing down tremendously. Family is OK, I'm concerned about the ******* that hurt my stepson getting away with it due to his anger issues. I guess I'd be angry too if I'd been through the abuse he's seen. Just sorry to see it take such a Jerry Springer move. We may have proof on tape. Just not sure yet how it'll play out in court when we go back. "Polly S." wrote in message ...

Ooops! I'll have to remember that! I'll have to use some of those annoying tiny little beads you guys love so much! g Family is OK, I'm concerned about the ******* that hurt my stepson getting away with it due to his anger issues. I guess I'd be angry too if I'd been through the abuse he's seen. Just sorry to see it take such a Jerry Springer move. Being abused may be a reason but, for an adult, it is *never* an excuse. -- Polly -- don't spook my groove... icq 13968113 http://saxoncreek.com/ |
