I think this acrylic necklace from Brookadelphia is very charming - but it also has a message…
Did you know that there is a world-wide problem with Colony Collapse Disorder? It essentially means that bees are dying and scientists don’t really know why. Bees are useful little creatures and besides that, they’re cute :-) Wear […]
