In honor of Mother's Day!
This pendant showcases an original, vintage U.S. postage stamp, showcasing the painting, Whistler‘s Mother. On the reverse, I added a snippet of the definition “mother” from a vintage dictionary and a single dangle of Czech glass beads.

I love this one Pearlie Girl; it's fantastic. And because of it's historic aspect, it could be worn at any time of the year. Really like what you did with it.

Thank you PleasantPeasantry, Kimberly, raedawn, NaLa, Jan and Joanne!
Yeah Kimberly, this is a first for me. I am usually so behind on getting my seasonal things posted so I thought I would get a jump on Mom's Day. I don't even have any Easter items listed...think I already missed that window !!
