Lucky Gecko Earrings by Sandra Hedditch
Here in Australia we have little lizards we call geckos they have sticky feet and walk around on the walls and ceilings and eat mosquitoes, flies and other annoying insects so we feel very lucky when they choose to live in our home with us, they are very cute to look at and make a tiny clicking sound."Because we think they are lucky I have made a beaded earring pattern of them so I can have the good luckwherever I go.If you would like to share my good luck just follow the instructions below
