Charity auction season again

 

Since my brother joined his local Masonic Lodge a few years ago, I've been pitching in with a few donations each year for their annual auction.  This year I kept up the tradition with four pairs of simple drop earrings.

I still have a small stash of Swarovski crystal bicones and rondelles and since these can no longer be purchased to make into jewelry, I thought they might have some appeal.

(4) Two sizes and colors of Swarovski rondelles on sterling silver headpins suspended from handmade sterling silver ear wires.

Together they raised $180 in auction donations.  Knowing the worthy causes the Masons support throughout the year, I couldn't be more pleased.
