The Pick Up Sticks pendants were inside the locked display case and no one was around.  Brian and I didn&#8217;t have much time and Brian doesn&#8217;t really enjoy shopping and stuff, so I didn&#8217;t get to check it out fully.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I was able to price it when Jan and I hung out at the mall over the weekend.  Von Maur wanted $26 for the pendant and then another $50 for the ball chain.  That was just too much money for me, specially for a novelty necklace.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, I found the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tooqt.com\" >tooQt<\/a> web site.  I got the Cherry Pi pendant and a couple of charms (True Love and Lucky) and three ball chains for a lot less than what it would have cost me to purchase the Cherry Pi necklace at Von Maur.  Gotta love the internet!<\/p>\n<p>I decided that I&#8217;ll wear the Cherry Pi necklace by itself, but I opted to take the smaller pendants and attach them to my Art by Amy Scrabble tiles necklace since they were more like charms anyway.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/3330124298\/\"  title=\"0_200903042129_180.jpeg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"pic\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3634\/3330124298_63328f6d1a.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"0_200903042129_180.jpeg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There are so many more charms and pendants that I want both from Pick Up Sticks and Art by Amy.  I think their jewelry pieces go pretty well together because they are that same kind of novelty style.  Create-your-own jewelry is just so addictive!<\/p>\n<p>P.S. My Cherry Pi necklace is just in time for Pi Day, which incidentally is the day that Brian is due back from Germany.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Pick Up Sticks jewelry arrived today.
