My plan is to wear my DIY necklace on vacation this summer. We’re flying to Seattle and then driving a rental car down the western coast of the U.S. to Monterey, CA. We’ll drive back up to San Francisco where we’ll fly home again.
I simply used a piece of leather cording I dug out of my crafting stash and tied each piece on the strand. It’s a simple necklace, but I’m happy with it.
Since it’s going to be much cooler in the northwest as opposed to Tucson’s extreme heat, I’m planning my travel wardrobe with the weather very much in mind.
A rib-knit top (found at Kohl’s) paired with a hooded linen jacket (purchased at Coldwater Creek) ought to be comfortable for one of my outfits. The necklace works with that and I can pair it with other things on my packing list.
Oh how beautiful those gem stones are, and you've made them into a great necklace.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful necklace! We drove along route one from San Francisco to Pebble Beach a few years ago .. a beautiful, scenic drive! I loved seeing all the Del Monte vegetable and fruit farms along the way and the windswept wonderful cedar trees and craggy shoreline. San Francisco is one of my favorite cities!
