Signature Piece

Lately, I've been reading about signature pieces, signature accessories.

One's signature piece or accessory can be anything, absolutely
 anything.  For some, it is a color, or even a  particular shade of that color.  For others, it might be a pattern, such as stripes, or checks, or polka dots.

 Or it  might be a certain fragrance.  Mrs. Ray, in the
Betsy-Tacy books, always wore violet perfume. I don't think I could smell violet perfume without thinking of Mrs. Ray.

 On the other hand, a signature piece can be just one
accessory.  Not one type of accessory, but one accessory, and this, too can be anything, absolutely anything.  Perhaps a string of beads, or a pendant, or a hat, or a hairband, or a bracelet, or a scarf, or.. (you can finish the list with anything and everything that comes to your mind.)

Well, I decided that I wanted a signature piece of my own. Specifically, I wanted a pendant.  I shopped online in search of one, but I couldn't find one that I both liked and could afford.

So what did I do?  I made a pendant out of the blue plastic aquarium plant frond in my Break-Off Collection, and a trimmed rose-pink former shoe lace. I still consider that frond to be part of my collection, but now it is also a functional piece.

My signature piece.

Encouraging news about EWTN's Fr. Anthony

Fr. Anthony hopes to be back on the air in the near future.  Oh, HOW I'm praying for that to happen! https://franciscanmissionaries.c...
