(Not So) Mismatched Monday: Sweetheart Earrings

I've been suffering from terrible headaches lately (most likely TMJ related) so please excuse the fact that these earrings are not mismatched.  I find it hard to concentrate while my head is ready to explode.  And with that bit of TMI, I give you "Sweetheart Earrings"...

I tend to feel a red overload after Christmas so I didn't want to use that color for my Valentine earrings.  Turns out I had a delightful little stash of pink beads up in the office so it all worked out perfectly.  They are long and swingy, just the way I like my earrings!

I'm going to let you in on a little secret too, the lace I used for the porcelain charms is from my mom's wedding dress.  When they were cleaning out the New Jersey house and preparing to move to Utah, my mom found the dress and it wasn't preserved properly.  She told me to do whatever I wanted with it.  I pulled the lace off and now she can have as much jewelry as she wants with the lace-pattern from her dress!
