My friend and boss, Melissa is celebrating her birthday today so I decided to make her a necklace combining one of our Melissa Frances brooches and green beads as it is her favorite color. There are some ongoing office jokes about Melissa being the "Queen", so I thought it would be appropriate to use the crown brooch☺
After making the necklace I wanted to package it nicely, so I made a little fabric bag for it embellishing it with Melissa Frances lace, a tin type photograph and a mother of pearl button. Then, I put the fabric bag inside a cigarette tin which I decorated with antique ledger, dictionary and music paper.
