She let the silky sweetness gather in her mouth; butterscotch creme was more than just a treat, it was a trip back in time. Her Papa had always had butterscotch in his shirt pocket, and he always offered them to her, right away, holding them out before she even came into the house. She never, ever had to ask.
For awhile, after he died, she couldn't bear the smell of butterscotch; its sticky sweetness was repulsive and cloying to her senses. But now, nearly forty years later, it had found the power to open her heart again.

I came to your blog via Art Bead Scene and all I can say is WOW! The stories you weave are as intriguing as the jewels...who wouldn't want that story swirling in their heads each time they wear a piece of your jewelry!? What an amazing gift you have with both writing and beading. I have no patience for the seed bead way, but I appreciate how artful it is and the time it takes to master it. And master it you have. I am inpsired by your example and will mark your site to come to recharge my creative spirit! Enjoy the day! Erin, Tesori Trovati Jewelry
