Happy Friday from The Raven's Niche!

I love to repair broken jewelry and, especially, rosaries. Here are pictures of the before and after pictures of a rosary I repaired.

Greetings from The Raven's Niche!

I'm at the shop today this afternoon and I just finished up this Divine Mercy Garnet and Sodalite rosary using garnet beads I picked up many years ago when I was in Southern California working a software implementation project. I was recommended by the staff at the school district to check out this huge bead store called Pacific Beads and I took them up on the recommendation. I was in awe of the selection and when I came across these garnet beads I new they would work out well in a rosary.

This rosary and other beaded items are available at The Niche. I'll be here today until 7:00 p.m. and tomorrow, Saturday, May 30th from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. I will also be vending at the Wilmot Flea Market on Sunday.
