Birthday Gift

My friend is turning 30 again this year, so tonight I am going to a dinner/ice-skating/movie party. I'm so excited; I made her a necklace that I think is exactly her. I just finished it this morning.It's an adorable shell flower hung from a hand-wrapped necklace, the links of which are riverstone, aragonite, picture jasper, serpentine, amazonite, and rhodonite.
I sure hope she doesn't manage to check my blog within the next two hours!

Oh - Bonus, I managed to get around to taking photos of my gift-box, so I can post those on etsy and on my website and show that I have a complete package of awesomeness.It may be a bit over-lightened but I wanted it to have a seamless white background for dropping directly on my website. Okay, gotta go get ready for the parrr-tay!

I loved my necklace. While nursing my hangover today, I laid in bed and admired it! Thank you sooo much!
