I am very proud of my Five Decade Rosaries. I have included five, of my Five Decade Rosaries on Etsy, above.  Each one was designed using vintage beads and is so beautiful.  I have a hard time deciding which is my favorite.  Each rosary requires 59 beads.  When using vintage beads, it is sometimes difficult to find 53 beads which are the exact design shape and size.  So, for instance on the green rosaries pictured, each of the ten decade beads are unique in that section, but all have a matching color and size. Some rosaries would be next to impossible to duplicate because the vintage beads are no longer available.  

If you have any suggestions about what you would like to see on my LetOurLightShine.us site in the way of rosaries, Christian jewelry, etc., please send me a note or leave me a comment.  I would love to hear from you.

If you do not know how to say the rosary, here is a link from EWTN with a tutorial:

On a personal note, things are beginning to get back to normal for me after the hurricane. I still have my privacy fence lying on the ground in the backyard but all of my dogs are safe inside a smaller fence close to the back of my house.  I'm thankful that I put up the small fence for my small dogs since I used to worry about them sliding under the larger fence through a hole created by a opossum or raccoon.  All of the dogs, big or small, stay within the smaller fence.  

As a Christian vegan, there are no animal products used in any of the items sold on my site.  
God Bless,

I am really excited about my new website featuring an About page which shares a little bit about me as a new shop owner.  It gives me the opportunity to share a little bit about why I started my shop and a little of who I am.   If you would like to take a look, the link is below:

A big part of each day is spent with these special friends....

This is only two of the nine... all are either rescues or taken when a family member moved or had a baby.  They are all getting older now but still give me lots of joy. I would have shared more photos but these are the only two I could put my finger on at the moment. Being a Christian vegan is very important to me.  None of my designs include animal products, which I shared in yesterday's post. 

This weekend, I will be taking a break from my jewelry and rosary making to spend time with two of my grandsons.  

Have a super weekend! God Bless!
