I'd also love an excuse to wander through more of them so we'll have to go exploring when you're here... can't wait!

Some completely Jewish ones, others just very old. And beautifully kept.<br />Love the necklace too. I'm sure it will be a very precious keepsake. Love MOMBrenda Funknoreply@blogger.com
