  • Wonderful photo, clever use of the leaves! These are the most beautiful  telsum I have ever seen.

  • @Thank you Toya - I bought them from Ingrid (member of Ethnic Jewels). They are really gorgeous, I am very happy that I got them. The leaves I collected on the way home, they looked so beautiful on the ground.... used them for photos, and afterwards, my cat amused herself with them!

  • Very nice words and you added warmth through the warm autumn colors.
  • @Thank you Ingrid. They are really gorgeous!

  • Very welcome to it Eva,I have only one string in these beauties. I am glad some of them ended up with you who really appreciate its beauty.

  • What can I say about the autumn leaves? so creative, it sets off the silver beautifully.

  • 100% sucess.

  • @Thank you very much Chantal. These telsums are very special, so I wanted to take a really nice photo. But actuall, the leaves just looked at me, and I could not resist. I did not have the idea with the leaves before.......... I met them on my way and they smiled at me..!

  • Beautiful composition and beautiful telsums! I can only second Chantal :-)
