Wordless White Wednesday (well almost wordless)

I had seen a few of these coin purse necklaces and thought they were so cool that I thought I would try one for myself. Chippys makes some really cool ones so if you want to see some spectacular ones check her out!
The number 5 for my 5 kids, a heart with a t. on it and I have been saving that fabulous bee for a while now, waiting for the perfect project. taadaa!


Cleaning house and so redecorated the white mantel... the dust alone told me it was about time!

I'm joining the White Wednesday party over at Faded Charm, Thanks Kathleen!

I recently took on a part time job and so need to get ready for work ( that sounds crazy to me) I haven't worked outside the house since Max was born!

Anyway... gotta go try to look presentable and not smell like furniture polish...

Thanks for stopping by, Theresa xoxo

  6. OK...how cute was that coin purse necklace??? I like the thought that you put into the embellishments....the "5" for your kids and the letter "T". The rosette and the bee were the perfect finishing touches.
    Have fun with your new part time job.

  9. AHHH Theresa, this is great, and I love that you added the five for your kids.
    SO SWEET. I just found that they are selling these clasp closures again and was just debating on what to use them for.
    Thanks for the inspiration and the push to try something new.
    Your mantel is glowing, what charm to have a mantel in the house. It is lovely.
    Take care and don't work to hard

  11. Love your coin purse necklace, I have one and wear it all the time!

    You mean we are supposed to dust? I always get into moving things around when I need to dust! What's up with that? Guess I just like to change things up once a year! LOL!

  14. Hi Threresa,
    I am totally laughing, I saw your 612 Riverside and Wordless Wednesday on my sidebar and I thought to myself, "Now that is an oxymoron if I ever read one" then went on to read your, well almost! I adore you...

    Hope all goes well with the new job. Brave woman you are. And I hope you only smelled a tiny bit like furniture polish!
    Kate

    Love your new necklace

  21. Cute necklace! I need to try one of those. I actually have my grandpa's old coin purse that would be perfect. And it looks great hanging on your mannequin.

  24. Looks great and that purse is killer. If dust is the decorating factor I need to redecorate the whole house.
    I always wonder how can it be dusty when I'm never there:)) must be the long haired kitty!
    The crown is amazing too btw.

  27. I love the coin purse, besides being cute, it could also be so practical, sometimes I just need to carry a little cash! Thank you for trying to get your family to show some interest in the Romantic Homes article LOL! Good luck, I could hardly get my family to look. What I found out was that even though RH is huge in our world, not many people in the rest of the world have heard of it, hard to imagine! I can't imagine the world without it! Love your blog!
