It was back to work yesterday. Each year on our first day back we have have a business support charge for all of the business support staff in our school district. It usually involves a motivational speaker, a continental breakfast, and a group of vendors . . . they welcome us back and let us shop. Each year I treat myself to something. This year I chose this necklace. There were other necklaces that I liked - but when I was talking to Holly about her jewelry - she mentioned the little china doll on this necklace was called a "frozen Charlotte". (that name seems to be popping up everywhere these days.) There is sort of a weird little story behind them - but then I tend to like weird little stories. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frozen_Charlotte_(doll)

I also bought this baby bracelet for Charlotte. Luke seemed to think it was a ridiculous purchase. "Mom - she's a baby - she doesn't need accessories and she will choke on it."
I can see his point - but how cute would this be in one of her newborn pictures. OK - maybe I am getting a little carried away with this grandma thing . . . but the bracelet is so dainty, and cute.
If you want to check out Holly's jewelry - here is the link to her Etsy shop
I kept my promise to myself - and worked on a project last night. Abbie wanted me to make her a bath apron out of a towel. I had never seen one - but you take a bath towel and turn it into an apron to use when giving a baby a bath . . . Great idea! . . . and so simple to make. I would have gotten it done - but I ran out of thread. So after work it is a quick stop at the fabric store and then home to finish sewing.
That's a pretty cool necklace. I always thought a frozen Charlotte was some kind of dessert - thanks for straightening me out. :)
