Kelly and I developed a necklace we could make. And, made quite a few for the family. Our 17 7/8 year old granddaughter wears many necklaces that have this look. We also see quite a few ladies wearing necklaces like this. And so, we founded a new Division of Barnes Galactic ...... called .... wait for it ..... ...... .... .. "Pop's Pearls!" - Yayyyyyyy .... ..... .......

It's made from Fossilized Misquito Tusk - excavated from the Barnes Pneumatic Tar Pits! Hand ground and polished by that jolly old Elf himself! Himself, then strings them on leather cordage and uses wooden beads, from an exotic foreign land, in a button loop closure!



Several Barnes Coins will be slipped into Christmas Stockings. When family members realize the paid in their shoe ... they will investigate and find ....






Copper Coins!!!! Minted at BPS.

Leather snap closure bracelets with names were a feature item for grandkids. They required a wooden block stamp carving. Thus, future leather tags and items yet undiscovered may be made.





We made Fsith Bracelets for our Son and His Sons.



It was quite a production.



Santa came home late, to Mrs. Claus.



Mrs. Claus kept Santa nourished. Santa especially enjoyed this BLT on the Shop Patio!

And, the Festivities have begun!

Presents are wrapped. Santa has had a great breakfast, prior to loading the Sleigh!

We hope You and Yours enjoy a Glorious Celebration of the Birth of God's Son, as a man, to Redeem Mankind.

God Bless,

Merry Christmas Kelly and Gary! Love the gifts, they are wonderful. I just finished with stocking stuffers and stuck the presents under the tree. Spent eve at my Mom's, the food was ridiculous. Seafood soup, stuffed bread, calamari, octopus, and a whole bunch of Sicilian and Italian goodies. We ate at 6 and I'm still rolling myself around the house!

Thanks for posting Gary, I'm kicking myself for not taking pictures.

Gary and Kelly,
That is all very beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
