Yesterday I decided to sit out the rain at my local Barnes and Noble book store.
Loaded up with all my favorite magazines, a few books and a cup of coffee,
I found a big ol' chair in a back corner and settled in.
This is the one that caught my eye and had to come home with me...........................
Here's a brief quote from the book:
(when coming upon a home where a curandera, or healing woman
was once thought to have lived)
........."I came to an old adobe house that was quite dilapidated, but I could tell it had been
loved long ago. I decided to go in and take a look through the cobwebs and dust. It was there that I spotted the old prescription book. Leather-bound, with the names of her patients, illnesses and the how-to information to make her healing jewelry"......................................
NO, this isn't a novel, it is an actual book on making jewelry .
There is for example directions for......"believe-in-myself "bracelet, and French tells why she chose the components she did and what properties each is believed to possess.
It's a fun read as well as giving very detailed and complete directions for making
the different jewelry projects.
Frenchs' bio says she is a "curandera" (healing woman)
from a small Texas town. If you like a little folklore and herbs
mixed in with your jewelry making this might be a good book for you.
It's also available at Amazon, but I didn't want to wait..............
