"Breaker, Breaker, 1-9...Do You Copy?"

Last week I posted about having had a day with two "trips down Memory Lane."  My first was about a trip to the Southwest.  My second trip was about the days of CB Radios...do you remember those? Like a GPS is today, we knew a good many people whose vehicles were equipped with a squawky radio.  Many road trips were spent listening to other people talking to each other and our trucker friends giving all listeners a head's up on all "Bears taking pictures" (police with radar) sitting in "hiding" just waiting to pull over the drivers who were in a hurry to get somewhere!  Ahhh...and we thought that was high tech and fancy lingo!

You may be wondering why this trip came into my mind while making jewelry.  Very good question.  It actually came to me while I was naming one of my latest necklaces.  Back in the day, those of us who had the luxury of owning a CB (citizen band) radio, also had a "handle"...a radio alias that our friends could use to "call" us if we were tuned into the same channel.  My "handle" was Blonde Copper...which was quite creative since I was blonde and drove a copper-colored station wagon!

As I was working on this beautiful copper necklace and thinking about its potential name, "Blonde Copper" came to mind in an instant.  It seemed perfect!  Again combining copper and pewter, this wrap necklace is contrasted with black rondelle-shaped crystals and oval black onyx.  Of course, what's a blog post without pictures?

 
It's fun...it's trendy...and it goes with so many different color combinations.  You will find more details after I list it on Etsy.

Oh, and one more point of trivia...my hubby's handle was "Dead Eye." I have to say, we made a great CB couple!  (And I bet you can figure out how he got his name.)

10-4 Good Buddy...it's Over and Out.

Catch ya on the flip flop...
