When I looked at the rippling waters of the River Tweed, all I could think of was glimmering beads!
I also wanted to do a 'Thrill' post that didn't involve ornaments, because I really take Betty's point that not everyone has too many 'gee-gaws' (my MIL's word) about the place.
I also thing that Ang's post about bead necklaces influenced me...
So this month's thrill of what you already have is a coil of Chinese necklaces (all but one of them jade) on a plain French plate. I am appropriately thrilled with them!

I'm sure you are thrilled - they look amazing and totally complement the poster! What a great idea!
I love jade! When I was little and living in Hawaii, my family often visited the island flea market. There was always so much jade! Little Buddhas, tigers, monkey, and always jewelry.
My dress....your beads....perfect harmony!!!lol

Hello there Floss! It's really nice to 'meet' you! I popped via a little exploration of blogs to see your blog. I love the idea of this challenge, it's a really good one and one that I really need to embrace and run with, I am far too undisciplined and buying things I really don't need, which always makes me feel ashamed of myself so this is brilliant!
