What was inside those little christmas boxes?!

Here are a few of the Christmas gifts I made this year that were all wrapped in tiny little boxes.
copper back piece, found metal cage, found gold plated old pin, enamel riveted in place


Silver forged wire, pearls for my mom...she loved it!

Found coral on the beaches of Brazil, two pink pearls fed through coral with a single wire, also for my mom :)

Lyrics:
Once there was a way,
To get back homeward.

Once there was a way
To get back home.

Sleep, pretty darling,
Dot not cry
And I will sing a lullaby.

Golden slumbers,
Fill your eyes
Smiles await you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby.

Once there was a way
To get back homeward

Once there was a way
To get back home

Sleep, pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby.
