The Big Day

 After dinner, the ladies do a craft--old jewelry in a shadow box.  
We used treasured family costume jewelry that is too loved to throw out 
but ones we would never wear. 
 The fixings were removed and then the main piece is glued in place.
  We had a wonderful time picking through memories!
 Just a small glimpse of our group!
 And I learned that the cup  portion hanging down on those ghost fungi have a flower inside!
 See what I mean?!  It has a perfect star!
 Pretty amazing and intricate.
 And as more boat rides took place, they picked a water lily---did you know their stem goes all the way down to the bottom of the pond?!
 And here is a view we never get to see-the bottom of the water lily is beautiful-great inspiration for a sock yarn!
What a magnificent bloom!

  1. It looks like you had a wonderful time! After dinner crafting is a great idea. I love what you did with the jewelry. I'm sorry now I didn't take more of my grandmother's when I had the chance. She had a huge Sarah Coventry collection.

    That ghost flower is amazing!

  6. My family usually plays games after the table is cleared and dishes are done. The water lily's root is definitely long and the bloom is gorgeous.
