Vintage Ear Bobs

"Amber"

This cold join connection is probably my most favorite to use on my etched cuffs.

"Dancing Queen"

Along with using vintage ear bobs. 

I don't call them clips.  I call them bobs.

I most likely call them bobs because of my aunt Susie.  She wore beautiful ear bobs.

Her name was actually Josie, like my grandmother's....but, the family called her Susie.

She was beautiful.  Just like my grandmother.

When I was little, we would go into Houston where she lived.

Once when I was probably about seven years old, we went to visit.

At that time she was living in an apartment above a grocery store.  

In her kitchen was a booth-like nook....early sixties-style. 

I had never seen anything like it.   

It was there...that particular time that I ate my first powdered do-nut.

I didn't know what to think as I popped them in my mouth, 

and they just melted away.  I thought they were the best thing I had ever eaten!

We never ate anything like that at home.  And, you know what...never did.

My mother did would not buy them.

Yep, ear bobs.  They don't have a thing to do with do-nuts.

But, then again....maybe they do.
