Bead soup sent and received

I had to reformat my hard drive which means I am having 'fun' finding all my favorites, so it has slowed down my postings.

That said, my Bead Soup partner, Serena sent me some beautiful items [bottom picture] and I (hopefully) returned the favor [top picture].

I really love the Hummingbird pendant and out of the sack it is so pretty.
