Finding treasures

I was rummaging thru drawers and boxes today trying to find the title to my truck. During this task I ran across this



This was a gift a few years ago from my husbands aunt. We don't decorate for chirstmas or put up a tree so this has been in a drawer all this time.

This is a lacey oak leaf, preserved in 24k gold.

*grin*

I have some gold plated chain - I have some small wood beads...do you see where this is going? I am going to work on a design for this ornament to be the focal this weekend.

Such a shame to leave it in a drawer, don't you think?
