*Isobel* - πAs I was beading this evening, I was trying to think who would I dedicate the name of this beautiful 108 beaded necklace to? It only took a moment before my Nana came to mind π« Itβs been quite some time since my Nana ... Isobel James ... graced us on this earth π She was beautiful in every sense of the word and then some. She was always decked out in layers of jewellery π and in her thick Scottish accent could tell a story about each one of her pieces. She had her hair done weekly into a French twist at a salon that was no where near her house (perhaps she was a touch high maintenance but I loved it!). She wore gold running shoes in her later years when she could no longer rock her heels π and most Importantly, she loved her grandkids more than life itself. I wish my kids and Tanner could have met her but I know she will always live on in stories we share and memories we carry in our hearts. I miss her every day π« This necklace is bold, beautiful and reminds me of her. xo
