My hodge-podge of beads on leather

Thought I should post a picture of my tiny collection. I have only been collecting for a very short time and I don't have a lot but there is a lot of meaning in the beads that I have. Sorry if the pictures aren't that great. I was having some difficulty getting them the right size.

Looks like you have some lovely ones. Not that small a collection.

Angels Feathers -for my mother who passed away from complications of a surgery - my family found many tiny white feathers stuck on us and floating in the air where there should not have been any
Castle- for the picture of the castle on my mother's hospital room wall for the 4 1/2 months she was there- we were going to visit Scotland when she recovered- She was from Scotland
Van Gogh- for the giant sunflowers picture that was on my Grandmother's dining room wall- reminds me of all the family dinners we enjoyed there
Ball of yarn- my mother loved to crochet and I love to knit
The elf bead makes me think of all the stories of fairies and elves I loved so much
The sparrow - my mother's decor included many birds- on lamps, wall decorations, many sparrows in the Christmas tree
The various flower beads and the prisms are just so pretty.
Almost forgot- who didn't listen to Elton John

Lisa, I love your leather and the stories behind the beads. TFS.

TFS Lisa, love the design and the meaning behind each of your beads.

WOW--- what wonderful stories behind all your beads !!!!!

Lovely beads and it's wonderful that they all have such a special meaning to you.

I love leathers. The beads can just be so fun...

Your beads are all gorgeous and made even more so by the reasons that you bought them. I love Angel's Feather too.

Thanks everyone. Not as put together as some I've seen, and a lot of beads on the leather, but I only have one bracelet for now and I want to wear all my beads. I love them and don't want to leave them in the box.

I love it when beads have special meaning, I'm also sorry for your loss.
